VerifiedHello, I’m John Melis, a solicitor in Australia, and I’ll be helping you with your question today.
You can't have security cameras facing at your door entrance, but if cameras need to be installed around the premises outside of your property, then you'll need body corporate approval.
Does this help with your question today?
