What Florida Homeowners Should Know Before Installing Surveillance Cameras

Before installing home surveillance cameras, it’s important to understand Florida’s security camera laws. Florida is an all-party-consent state under Florida Statute 934.03, so audio recording features should be used with care. If a camera or doorbell includes a microphone or two-way audio, everyone involved may need to consent before a private conversation is recorded.

Camera placement matters, too. Florida Statute 810.145 prohibits recording in places where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy, such as bathrooms, bedrooms, changing areas, or other private spaces. Cameras should focus on your own entrances, driveway, yard, and other areas you’re entitled to monitor. Security Safe’s technicians are licensed in Florida, and we guide homeowners on compliant placement, equipment selection, and conspicuous notice when needed.

Popular Home Surveillance Features

Video Analytics Security

Our video analytics security upgrade is a smart solution that turns cameras into intelligent “security guards” capable of identifying people, animals, vehicles, and even packages.

Linked Smart Lights

Lights can be triggered depending on the type of object identified. For example, lights can be programmed to turn on after dark when a person is detected, but stay off when an animal is identified.

Video Identification Zones

Set up an area or boundary line and receive a notification if it is crossed. For example, program your system to notify you when someone turns into your driveway.

Touchless Doorbell Camera

Get notified when someone comes to your front door. The doorbell camera will automatically ring the house chime, start recording, and send you notification when someone walks up to your front door.

Remote Access Control

Our doorbell enables you to talk with someone at your front door from your smartphone when you are away. With smart locks installed, you can unlock the door remotely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions? We want you to feel 100% confident in your new home surveillance system. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we receive.

How do surveillance cameras improve security?

In many cases, simply having visible cameras is enough to deter potential criminals who know they will be easily identified, especially with newer, high-resolution cameras. Home surveillance cameras also enable you to look in and around your home when you’re at the office, on vacation, or just about anywhere in the world over an internet connection. With a robust camera system in place, you can see the package at the front door, check who stopped by, or watch the yard service mow your lawn.

How do I view my video footage?

All of our home surveillance camera customers can view their cameras at any time using the mobile app. The app gives you a live video feed and lets you play back stored video clips whenever you need them. You can store a full month of video clips in the app, allowing you to view and save footage at your own convenience. This is a useful way to save clips and present them to authorities in cases of burglary, vandalism, or other crimes.

How do I record and store continuous footage?

Our surveillance camera systems offer recorders that can store a large library of motion-based clips. They can also record continuous video if desired. For example, an event may have occurred at the edge of a camera’s field of view and not been registered as a “motion” event. Continuous recording ensures that you can still view these types of events. Anything that comes into view of your cameras will be captured and recorded.

Can I get real-time alerts?

Yes. Our smart cameras offer alert options based on live video. These cameras send live video notifications whenever they detect motion. This is a popular option for cameras installed in high-security areas that are rarely entered.

Can I customize the alerts I receive?

Yes. Real-time alerts tell you the moment something happens on your property. If a camera covers a busy area, we can fine-tune alerts so you only get notified when it matters.

For example, maybe you have a camera in a main hallway by your front door. You will not need an instant alert every time someone enters this area. However, perhaps you expect your kids home from school by 3:00 pm on weekday afternoons. In this case, you can receive an alert when someone enters this hallway between 2:30 and 3:00 pm Monday through Friday. You can even set a text alert on your phone if this camera does not detect motion by 3:00 pm. The ability to customize alerts for each camera adds significant security.

For example, maybe you have a camera in a main hallway by your front door. You will not need an instant alert every time someone enters this area. However, perhaps you expect your kids home from school by 3:00 pm on weekday afternoons. In this case, you can receive an alert when someone enters this hallway between 2:30 and 3:00 pm Monday through Friday. You can even create a text alert sent to your phone if this camera does not sense motion by 3:00 pm. The ability to customize alerts for each camera adds a tremendous amount of security.

Do the cameras require an internet connection?

Our wireless security cameras do require an Internet connection. However, our hardwired cameras do not. They are networked locally and can record to a local DVR. Our expert security agents will work with you to determine the proper security camera setup for your home.

Do the cameras work in the event of an internet outage?

We offer both wireless and hardwired security cameras. Our wireless cameras will not work during an Internet outage. If your home is equipped with hardwired cameras with local recording, they will continue to record properly during an Internet outage. In hurricane-prone Florida conditions, hardwired cameras with local DVR recording can keep recording during an internet outage if your system still has power, while wireless cameras depend on an active internet connection.

Can I share the video footage recorded on my security cameras?

There are two ways to store and share video files: locally or in the cloud. Video files are automatically saved to the cloud for a specified period. In that time, you can download and share video files with anyone. If you decide to download video files directly to your phone, then you will have indefinite access to them and can share them at any time.

Can I view live footage from my phone?

Yes. Simply download and install the Security Safe Link mobile application. With our app, you can view, manage, and save video camera footage from your smartphone.

Can I add multiple users to a single account?

You can share camera access with additional users. Any person with your login credentials can access your security camera video feed on the Security Safe app.

Is it legal to record audio with my home security cameras in Florida?

Florida is an all-party consent state under Florida Statute 934.03. That means audio recording features, including microphones and two-way audio, should be used carefully because recording a private conversation without consent can create legal issues. If you want audio-enabled home surveillance cameras, Security Safe can explain all-party consent and help you choose settings that comply with Florida’s audio recording laws.

Where can I legally place security cameras on my Florida property?

You can generally place cameras on your own property to monitor entrances, driveways, yards, and other areas you’re entitled to observe. You should not place cameras in bathrooms, bedrooms, changing areas, or other places where someone has a reasonable expectation of privacy. Florida security camera laws and the state’s video voyeurism law also make prohibited placements a serious issue, so cameras should be aimed at your property, not neighboring private spaces.

Do I need a permit to install home security cameras in Florida?

Many residential camera installations do not require a separate permit, but wiring methods, mounting, local code rules, HOA requirements, and monitored system connections can affect the answer. Security Safe’s technicians are licensed in Florida, and monitored security system installation must comply with state requirements. We can review your property and let you know if any local permitting or approval steps apply.

Can my security camera footage be used as evidence in Florida?

Yes, security camera footage can often be used as evidence in Florida if it was recorded lawfully and clearly shows the event in question. Clear timestamps, secure storage, and proper camera placement can make footage more useful for police, insurance claims, and court proceedings. We can help you choose recording and storage options that support reliable documentation.

Can I use security cameras in apartments and rental properties in Florida?

Security cameras in apartments and rental properties can be allowed, but placement depends on your lease, landlord rules, property policies, and privacy laws. Cameras should monitor your own doorway or interior space and should not record areas where other people have a reasonable expectation of privacy. If you rent, check with your landlord or property manager before installation.

Will you train me on how to use the system?

Once we complete the installation process, we will get you up and running with the app and show you how to use it so you can take full advantage of your whole-home security camera surveillance system. Customer service agents are always ready to field any questions you have about the system.
