NSW Police are requesting information from shopping centres and businesses about their CCTV systems, for the register of security cameras being compiled by the NSW Government.
With consent, all footage will be made available to the NSW police, for use during criminal and terrorism investigations. Police have assured third parties will not be allowed access to the footage.
The decision was made following the significant use of CCTV footage during the 2005 London terrorist bombing investigation.
Registration is voluntary, and can be done manually or online.
