We use a webcam in our lab (and oddly, in the past, have had a lot of
hits on it form your neck of the woods, probably from students with
friends here I imagine...).
We have a notice posted on lab doors to the effect that:
1 the lab contains an operational camera
2 its use is regulated by the data protection act
3 the pictures update every 15 seconds and are transient - no archives
are kept
4 users can request that the camera is stopped if they wish.
No-one has ever asked.
