Is it illegal to install and monitor the corridor?

Legal analysis: it needs to be judged according to the installation location. If the illuminated public area is ok, but if someone else's door is monitored, it is infringement. Monitoring the public area of residential quarters is not only a mandatory requirement of the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Construction, but also a necessity of property management.

Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).
