Is SEiNG Cloud CCTV PACE Compliant in the UK?

If you’re looking for a video surveillance system that ticks all the boxes under the UK’s Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 - or PACE for short - you’re in the right place.

PACE sets the rules for how evidence needs to be gathered, handled and stored so it can be trusted in court. SEiNG is a Cloud CCTV system that meets PACE standards, giving you the confidence that your footage will hold up if it’s ever needed by police or the courts.

What does PACE mean for CCTV?

Think of PACE as the gatekeeper of evidence quality. For CCTV footage to be accepted in a criminal case, it’s got to be reliable and secure. That means video needs to be tamper-proof, properly time-stamped, and stored in a way that clearly shows who accessed it, when, and why. One of the key parts is PACE’s Code D, which covers identification evidence. Put simply, your footage needs to be clear enough to identify people and handled so nobody can question if it’s been altered or manipulated.

How SEiNG helps you tick the PACE boxes

SEiNG is a Cloud Video Surveillance as a Service solution that provides you with remote access to footage, AI backed filters and analysis tools, and cyber security features like SSO and MFA - all with your existing cameras. SEiNG’s cloud storage is locked down tight with encryption, so your footage is safe and can’t be tampered with. Every clip comes with an automatic time-stamp and metadata, showing exactly when and where it was recorded. This all helps keep that chain of custody intact, which is critical if the footage ends up in court. SEiNG keeps a detailed audit trail of every action taken on your footage — from who watched it to who downloaded or shared it. This transparency means you know exactly what’s happened to the evidence at every stage.

SEiNG VSaaS works with existing cameras.

When it’s time to hand footage over, SEiNG makes sure you can export original video files in formats that police and courts accept. No compressed or dodgy versions that could get thrown out. Plus, SEiNG plays nicely with the UK’s Data Protection Act 2018 and the Surveillance Camera Code of Practice. We recommend doing a Data Protection Impact Assessment if you’re using SEiNG in public or semi-public spaces — it’s all about being responsible and respectful of people’s privacy.

Why Does This Matter?

When it comes to evidence, there’s no room for doubt. Using a CCTV system that meets PACE means your footage is more likely to be trusted, and you avoid messy legal challenges. And, importantly, you’re showing you care about data privacy — which is becoming a bigger deal every day. Book your
