Do renters have the right to view property monitoring?

Residential property monitoring renters are not allowed to check casually. Although the surveillance video materials belong to all owners, some surveillance video materials are related to the interests of other owners. Based on the requirement of privacy protection for all owners, individual owners have no right to extract surveillance video materials and need the public security department to check them.

Legal analysis

Video recording in residential areas will not invade personal privacy. Generally, monitoring probes can only be installed in public places and residential areas, where there is no problem of personal privacy leakage. Although the surveillance video equipment belongs to all owners and involves the interests of other owners, if there is no justifiable reason, the lessor can check it at will, which has certain security risks. Based on the requirement of privacy protection for all owners, the property can formulate corresponding procedures to ensure the privacy safety of most owners before allowing them to watch the surveillance video. Community owners can't adjust the monitoring of the community at will. If you want to monitor, you really need the public security department to come over to monitor. Property requirements are normal. Although the surveillance video materials belong to all owners, some surveillance videos involve the interests of other owners. Considering the requirements for privacy protection of all owners, individual owners have no right to extract surveillance video materials for viewing, but they can extract and watch them through the public security department, or they can record some surveillance screenshots related to related matters under the on-site supervision of the public security department and provide them for viewing and copying.
