Irvington, NJ Privacy & Surveillance: Security Camera Rules (2026)

) must hold. The system has to run 24 hours a day, seven days a week; at least one camera must be dedicated solely to monitoring the public entrance door; and additional cameras must cover the entire area of the property accessible to the public, not just the entrance. Footage has to be retained for no less than 30 days, giving police a documented window to pull recordings after an incident. This sits within a broader Irvington pattern of camera mandates tied to licensing: the chapter's own definitions section names the police official, the Director of the Public Safety Department, as the administrator who can adopt further rules and regulations to carry the camera requirement out under § 464-3, and a certificate of registration displaying compliance must be posted where the public can see it, per § 464-7(B).

Because the camera duty is bundled into the registration certificate rather than freestanding, a property that fails to install or maintain the required system is also, in effect, out of compliance with its registration and exposed to the same enforcement track as an unregistered property.
