Can I install my own cameras, smart locks or security equipment?

You can use appropriate personal security equipment, but please ask us before installing or altering a camera, lock, doorbell or other fixed device.

A change to a door, lock, electrical supply or communal area can affect safety, other residents & building management. We cannot allow unauthorised changes to shared entrances, fire doors or building access systems.

Before installing equipment

• Explain what you want to install & where.
• Tell us whether it needs drilling, wiring or a new lock.
• Check that it will not interfere with fire safety or our ability to deal with emergencies.
• Avoid recording neighbours or communal areas without a lawful basis.
• Confirm any conditions for removing the equipment at the end of the tenancy.

A portable indoor camera used solely within your own apartment may be different from a doorbell camera filming a shared corridor. Privacy & data protection obligations can arise where recording extends beyond your private space.

We will consider reasonable requests, but installation must be approved where it affects the property or others’ rights.
