Home security camera signs alert visitors and potential intruders that surveillance is in place, helping protect your property and discourage unwanted activity.
Home Security Camera Signs – New Zealand’s Specialists
When it comes to deterring unwanted visitors, few things are as effective as clear, visible signage.
Home Security Camera Signs serve as a powerful first line of defence — warning trespassers that surveillance is in operation and giving peace of mind to property owners. Whether protecting homes, farms, rental properties or commercial premises, these signs communicate instantly: You’re being watched. Keep out.
At Emmjay Safety Sign Factory, you’ll find New Zealand’s largest range of safety and security signage, including durable CCTV & Security Camera Signs for every application — from small driveway panels to large entranceway signs for gated properties or multi-unit complexes.
Why Security Camera Signage Matters
Installing cameras is only part of an effective security system — signage makes the deterrent visible.
Our Home Security Camera Signs help you:
- Deter theft and vandalism: Research consistently shows visible CCTV signs significantly reduce opportunistic crime.
- Support legal and privacy compliance: Signage fulfils recommended best practice under the Privacy Act 2020 by notifying people that video surveillance is in operation.
- Reinforce your security presence: Whether or not cameras are visible, signs convey that the premises are monitored, prompting safer behaviour.
- Enhance safety awareness: For homes, schools, community spaces and workplaces, clear CCTV signage builds awareness that areas are monitored for everyone’s protection.
✅ According to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (NZ), anyone using CCTV must take “reasonable steps” to inform people they may be recorded — usually via clear, visible signage.

Compliance & Best Practice in New Zealand
Using security cameras and related signage in NZ is guided by these principles and resources:
- Privacy Act 2020: Requires anyone collecting personal information (including images) to inform people when they are being recorded.
→ NZ Privacy Commissioner – CCTV & Surveillance Guidance - WorkSafe NZ: For workplaces, camera zones should be clearly signposted and part of a transparent health & safety framework.
→ WorkSafe NZ – Health & Safety at Work guidance - Neighbourhood Support NZ: Encourages the use of security camera signage as a deterrent within community safety programmes.

Displaying signage visibly — at eye level and before entering a monitored area — ensures compliance and improves effectiveness.
