Is it legal to have 15 video cameras installed in your shop and record your employees 24/7 ?

Plus stream that video signal over the internet to your home and watch them on your home TV / Computer monitor ?

Then when you not sure what they are doing call them up and ask them what they are doing and why a customer left the shop without an item.

Just wondering..

Seems my mate who has taken over this shop is getting a bit power hungry and fellow employees are starting to question if he can question there every move and invade privacy like this.

I'm questioning this privately if you know anyone that actually knows the law in regards to this I would appreciate some advice.

Cheers.

I don't know the legality of it, so I won't say I will.

My work has cameras all over the place and the General Manager can watch these from home. However this is in our employee agreement that everyone signed before starting employment there. There is no audio though.

This white paper may answer some of your questions (I hope)

You will also want to read a copy of the Surveillances devices Act 1998 (WA) found here

Good luck with your research.

they run internet report usage in our office too, and send us usage reports to us once a month, not of our individual usage, but unsolicited emails, images blocked by RGL's mail security, if net usage is too high it gets monitored further to see if it's work related, etc...

15 cameras is a lot aint it Adam?

It is - my dad has it in his workshops. He can even view them on his home computer - which he quite often does on saturdays .... caught employees sitting on reception doing their resumes and all.

Doing resumes? they are going somewhere they can not be watched all day?

my dad really looks after his employees - in fact he just bought one of them a brand new XR6 .... becuase they've always done the right thing by the company. But unfortunately there's a helluva a lot that dont do the right thing by him - with a workshop environment there's a lot of scumbags - who steal tools, punch each other up and do anything and everything other than work. So that's the reason for CCTV.

Besides if you are doing the right thing ....... you would have nothing to hide anyway and cameras wouldnt bother you.

That sounds like fascisim to me :happy:

Yer i get your point though in that kind of environment it may be called for.

Haha..

Its colour but has no audio.

The guys at work do work hard so I'm not bothered..

Just one of them asked if its legal for him 2 do this.

newbie101: Will check those links out! Cheers.

PS: Dan not letting you spy on me.

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
