BPBC Clubhouse Security Cameras
In May 2019, the Black Point Beach Club Association authorized the use of security cameras throughout the Clubhouse grounds for the purpose of enhancing security. The goal is to ensure public safety for Association members and their Guests who visit or use our property, and to diminish the potential for loss or destruction of property.
Generally, Connecticut does not restrict security cameras as long as you provide notice of their existence and keep them out of places where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy. (video voyeurism laws).
In addition to avoiding private places, Connecticut law recognizes that people have the right to know when they’re being filmed. Accordingly, cameras are placed where they can clearly and obviously be seen by anyone who enters our property. We also provide signs that clearly state that the property is under video surveillance.
