Protecting your home has never been more essential, especially in a city as bustling as Singapore. For HDB flat owners, installing a CCTV system is one of the most effective ways to enhance home security—without breaking the bank. But what kind of CCTV should you choose, and how do you stay compliant with HDB and Town Council rules?

In this 2025 guide, we walk you through affordable CCTV options for HDB flats, what’s legally allowed, and how to get started with a free, no-obligation site survey from a trusted local provider.


✅ Why CCTV is Worth It for Your HDB Flat

CCTV cameras offer:

  • 🛡️ Deterrence against crime and vandalism

  • 🧾 Recorded evidence for disputes or police reports

  • 🧘 Peace of mind with 24/7 remote monitoring

As more HDB residents face safety concerns or neighbour disputes, CCTV is becoming a must-have for modern home security in Singapore.

📜 HDB CCTV Installation Rules (Updated for 2025)

If you’re planning to install cameras facing your HDB corridor or outside your unit, you must follow specific guidelines.

Here’s a quick summary:

  • Corridor-facing CCTV needs Town Council approval

  • Police report required in safety or harassment cases

  • Limited to a 6-month period for temporary installs

  • Must not face neighbours’ units, doors, or windows

💡 HDB now allows smart door devices (like door viewers and video doorbells) without prior approval—if mounted inside and facing your own unit door.
