Security and Surveillance Signs

Communicate monitoring and access restrictions clearly

Surveillance notices are typically placed at the entry to a monitored area, at a height and size readable from the approach path. Access restriction signs—including Authorised Personnel Only, No Admittance and Restricted Area—are appropriate for entries where unsupervised public access is not permitted. Products are available as rigid panels and self-adhesive stickers in multiple sizes, with materials including aluminium composite panel, aluminium, polypropylene and foam PVC. Rigid panels suit external mounting on walls, fences and gates; sticker formats suit glass, smooth masonry and similar internal surfaces.

In Australia, organisations that operate CCTV in areas accessible to the public are generally expected to display notices informing people that surveillance is in operation. The specific requirements for CCTV signage vary by state and territory, industry and the nature of the monitored area. Confirm the applicable privacy legislation, workplace policy and any security-system requirement before selecting and placing surveillance signs.

Pair with access control and property signage

Security signs are often used alongside property and access signs. For office, premises and general access-control messages, browse property and office signs. For prohibition messages including No Entry and Authorised Personnel Only in standard safety-sign format, see prohibition signs. Custom security signs with a company name, premises address or specific camera reference can be produced to order. The broader range is at Safety Signs.
