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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.

      Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
