Answer #1

The IT Act, 2000, is the parent legislation to deal with electronic surveillance. If a camera captures images of the private parts of a person, male or female, or transmits such images without consent, the offender can be booked under section 66E.there is no permission required for installing of CCTV at your premises , however if you are resident of a complex than you may intimate to the building committee but it is not mandatory. in case the coverage of cctv does not hinder anyone's privacy and is only installed in the common passage just for the security purposes, it is not illegal.

Answer #2

There is no law regrading installation of CCTV. I am curious to know the reason why that particular person is objecting against your CCTV installation?If that camera is not covering his house or creating any disturbance then there is no need for removal or disabling the camera. Thanks.
