The topic was mentioned by Pest magazine https://www.pestmagazine.co.uk/news/bpca-publishes-guidance-on-ethical-use-of-wildlife-cameras-in-customer-premises.html?utm_source=mailpoet&utm_medium=email&utm_source_platform=mailpoet&utm_campaign=email-news and at the BPCA blog https://bpca.org.uk/News-and-Blog/guidance-using-wildlife-cameras-in-customer-premises-staying-ethical-legal-and-professional/279236 Stephen explains that while rules in the United Kingdom are different, it is quite advisable to have a policy and standards for the use of trail cameras for American wildlife control and pest control companies. Cameras and the images and video taken raise issues regarding privacy, ownership, security, and more that pcos and WCOs should be aware of and consult with their attorneys.
