Freedom of Information Request

CCTV Surveillance Equipment

Received: 9 February 2026

I am writing to make a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act. Please provide information relating to the use of Hikvision-branded CCTV or surveillance equipment. Specifically, I request the following information: Whether the authority currently uses, or has previously used, any Hikvision CCTV, video surveillance, or related monitoring equipment. If such equipment is or has been used: The locations or settings in which the equipment is deployed (e.g. public buildings, streets, offices, estates), excluding any information that would compromise security. The dates of purchase and/or installation. The purpose for which the equipment is used. Whether any risk assessments, data protection impact assessments, or security reviews have been carried out in relation to the use of Hikvision equipment, and if so, copies of those documents or a summary of their findings. Whether there are any current plans to remove, replace, or stop using Hikvision equipment, and the reasons for any such plans. If any of the requested information is withheld, please specify the exemption(s) relied upon and provide any information that can be disclosed. I would prefer to receive the information in electronic format. If this request exceeds any cost or time limits, please advise me on how it may be refined. Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your response within the statutory timeframe.
