Overview

This information sign says cameras are recording and has a blank panel to write in who runs the system and how to reach them. Typical homes for it are site gates covered by cameras, car parks, reception areas and entrances. Our CCTV this scheme is controlled by write on sign printing is made to order in the size and board you choose.

Boards for CCTV this scheme is controlled by write on sign printing

Our CCTV this scheme is controlled by write on sign printing comes on three kinds of board:

  • 3mm Foamex, a rigid PVC foam board that screws or sticks up easily and is happiest indoors or out for a season
  • 3mm Dibond, aluminium skins on a solid core, the one to pick for a sign that stays outside for years
  • self-adhesive vinyl, which sticks flat to smooth walls, doors, glass and machine guards

Inside, Foamex or vinyl does the job. Outside for the long haul, go Dibond.

What the sign says

It reads "CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On". Blue and white is the information look: calm, plain and easy to take in on the move.

Putting it up

At each way into the covered area, before anyone walks into shot. Put one at each entrance, at a height people will actually read.

The right size for CCTV this scheme is controlled by write on sign printing depends on the reading distance. Rule of thumb from ISO 3864-1: each 25 mm on the short side of the sign gives roughly a metre of reading distance. That makes A4 to about 8 m, A3 to about 12 m, A2 to about 17 m and A1 to about 24 m. Long corridors, yards and car parks need the bigger sizes.

Write-on versions let you fill in the operator and contact details yourself; the others carry the message on its own.

If you run CCTV, the ICO guidance on video surveillance says people must be told with clear signs, including who runs the cameras and how to contact them.

Upload your own file, lay it out in the online designer, or hand it to our paid artwork service, which includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. A person gives every file a free check first.

Which size do I need?

A safety sign must be large enough to read from where people will see it. Our conservative guide, based on the distance-factor method in ISO 3864-1, is about 1 metre of viewing distance for every 25 mm of sign height (the shorter side). Use it with your own risk assessment.

SizeReadable from up to about
A4 (210 × 297 mm)8 m
A3 (297 × 420 mm)12 m
A2 (420 × 594 mm)17 m
A1 (594 × 841 mm)24 m

Well lit or internally lit signs can be read from further away; dim areas need larger signs.

Questions

Quick answers about cctv this scheme is controlled by write on sign printing.

What size do I need so people can read "CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On"?

Go by reading distance rather than wall space. In normal light, A4 (210 × 297 mm) covers 8 m, A3 (297 × 420 mm) covers 12 m, A2 (420 × 594 mm) covers 17 m and A1 (594 × 841 mm) covers 24 m. Choose one size up if people pass quickly or the area is poorly lit.

Has ISO 7010 got a symbol for "CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On"?

No, ISO 7010 has no pictogram for this exact message. So the sign is words only, set in the usual blue and white information layout.

Where do I fix the CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On sign?

For "CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On", the usual spot is at every way into the area the cameras cover, placed so people read it before they walk into view. Walk the route yourself and make sure it is seen from the direction people come.

Am I legally required to display "CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On"?

UK data protection law, through the ICO guidance on CCTV, expects anyone running cameras to tell people with clear signs. The sign should say who operates the system and how to reach them. Where signs go is set by your own risk assessment.

Why is the CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On sign in these colours?

Blue with white is used for general information and site rules. The "CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On" sign uses that standard layout, so people read its meaning before the words.

Will the CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On sign survive outdoors?

Yes, if you order it in Dibond, which cope with rain. Foamex is better kept indoors or somewhere sheltered. Pick the material in the options before you order.

Asked by buyers

How much will the CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign set me back?

£5.02 is where the CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign starts, set up as A4 (210 × 297 mm) and self-adhesive vinyl on the Saver speed.

Is delivery ever free?

It is £7.95 for the whole order, not per item, and free once the goods reach £100 after any discount code; design or artwork charges are left out of that £100. On its own the opening price of £5.02 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero. A mainland Highlands postcode puts a single £10 on the order.

Vinyl, Dibond or Foamex: which should we pick for a CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign?

"CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On" might go up at a corner shop, a block of flats or a village hall with cameras, so the choice comes down to the surface and the weather. Vinyl is a sticker version for glass, doors and smooth paint. Foamex is a light plastic board, best kept indoors or somewhere sheltered. Dibond, an aluminium composite, is the long-life choice for outdoors and hard-wearing spots. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

How big does our CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign have to be to read across a room or yard?

Stand where someone first needs to read "CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On" and pace out the gap to where it will hang. Then match that number: up to 8 m for A4, 12 m for A3, 17 m for A2 or 24 m for A1. Dim corners or people on the move call for one size bigger. Those distances follow the ISO 3864-1 distance-factor method (25 mm of height per metre) and sit alongside your risk assessment, not in place of it. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

You will find it useful at a corner shop, a block of flats or a village hall with cameras. Word for word, this sign says "CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On".

We have cameras at our shop or hall. Do we need a sign saying so?

In most cases, yes. Data protection law expects anyone filming people, other than inside their own home, to let them know, and a clear sign is the normal way to do it. A useful CCTV sign says recording is happening, who is responsible for the cameras and how to reach them. The write-on panel on this design is the place for those details. Put "CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On" up at every entrance so people see it before they are on camera. The ICO guidance on video surveillance covers what to include.

Can a private person buy a single sign?

Yes. One is enough, and you do not need a business name or an account to check out. The opening price is £5.02, and any bank card will do.

We are kitting out a hall with several different signs. Can they all go in one order?

How many pixels does a photo need to print well on this sign?

Roughly 7,016 pixels across and 9,933 down for an A1 (594 × 841 mm) design, which is 300 dpi. Things read at arm's length need that 300 dpi at full size to stay crisp. Text and logos are safest as vector art, which never goes fuzzy. Pictures saved from a website or social media are nearly always too small, and our file check will point out any that could print blurred. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). For reference, CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?

Every file gets a human check for size, bleed and resolution, and we contact you about any problem before printing. Nobody can know your details better than you, so double-check names, numbers and dates: we print what is supplied, and work begins once the order and file are confirmed. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On this page, CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign starts from £5.02.

Does the CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign come in a peel-and-stick version?

Yes: self-adhesive vinyl is one of the material choices, and that version is simply a sticker with a backing to peel off. Use it on smooth things like glass, doors, cupboards, machines or painted plaster. Clean and dry the surface first, then smooth it on working out from the middle. If the wall is rough or dusty the sticker will not grip well, so go for one of the boards. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On its opening option, CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.

What thickness is the CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign, and does it feel sturdy?

The sticker version, in self-adhesive vinyl, is only a film, so it sits flush on a door or wall. Every rigid option measures 3 mm. Foamex is a lightweight PVC foam board.

For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On this page, CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign starts from £5.02.

We are putting up a full set of signs at our premises. Which ones sit well next to this one?

Two good companions for it are Anti-Climb Product in Use Sign and Attention All Passes Must Be Shown Sign. Each has a page of its own with every size, material and a live price, and picking one material for all of them makes the wall look like a matching set. Put the lot in a single basket and you pay one delivery charge, which drops to nothing when the goods reach £100. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign in the evening?

Only if a light falls on it. The Foamex, Dibond and vinyl sticker versions are printed without any reflective or glow-in-the-dark layer. So for a church car park, a school path or a yard used on winter evenings, put it beneath a lamp that is already there, or add a light. If your risk assessment says a sign has to reflect or glow, buy that one from a firm that makes them. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

Will a CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?

"CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On" can go outside as long as you match the material to the job. For a sign that stays out for years, Dibond is the one to choose. Foamex will manage a sheltered spot, such as a porch or under a canopy, but it is really an indoor board. Strong sun slowly fades any print, so glance at outdoor signs every so often and swap any that have become hard to read. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

What is the easiest way to put up a CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign?

It depends what "CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On" is going on. Brick or plaster: screws through holes near the corners, washers under the heads, and a light hand (Foamex especially). Painted doors and smooth walls inside: foam tape or sticky pads, no drilling needed. Fences and railings: two or four holes, then cable ties. Glass and glossy panels: the vinyl version, pressed on after a wipe and a dry. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

Which material is cheapest for the CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign?

Taking the smallest size, A4 (210 × 297 mm), as the example: self-adhesive vinyl at £5.02, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £40.79 and 3mm Foamex at £27.79. Larger sizes follow a similar pattern, and the full grid sits in the size table further up the page. Think about where it is going first: a cheap material in the wrong spot can end up costing more. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. For reference, CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Do I have to register before I can buy?

No. Guest checkout is fine, and card payments go through Stripe, so a debit card or a credit card both work. If you choose to open an account while checking out, My Account keeps your past orders. Guest or not, you get an email confirming the order and another with tracking once it is sent. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02.

We need a few different designs. Do they each need their own order?

One checkout covers the lot. Add a basket line for every design, attach the right file to each, then pay once. You pay a single delivery charge of £7.95 for the whole order, or nothing if the goods add up to £100 or more. Repeating one design on another line? Choose the artwork choice that points to a file already in the basket, and no second design fee is charged. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

Can I buy the CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign and other products in the same basket?

Yes. Different products, sizes and quantities can all sit in one basket, each as its own line with its own options. Delivery is charged once for the whole order, £7.95 to the UK mainland, and it is free when the goods reach £100 after discount codes. If two items share a design, choose the option to reuse artwork from another basket item and there is no second artwork fee. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

Can a volunteer order without setting up an account?

Yes. There is a guest checkout, so a one-off order does not need a login. Payment is by debit or credit card, processed by Stripe. The confirmation email that follows lists everything bought and what was paid, which helps when you claim the money back from the group. What the page shows is what the group pays, plus any delivery. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

Next year we will want the same sign again. Is reordering easy?

Yes. Treat it as a fresh order of the same item with the same settings, and attach the file you used last time. Keep a copy of the print file in a shared folder so whoever orders next year can find it. Change any details that have moved on, such as a new email address or this year's date, before uploading. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

Our treasurer needs a receipt for the accounts. What do we get?

Every order gets a confirmation email listing what was bought, the options chosen and the amount paid, and a club, school or small firm can file that as its record of payment. What you pay for this sign is the price shown on the page plus any delivery charge, nothing more. If your accounts need a particular kind of invoice, ask through the Contact page before you order and we will tell you what we can provide. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02.

Which cards do you take, and is paying online safe?

You pay by debit or credit card when you check out, and you can do it as a guest without making an account. Card details are handled by Stripe, a specialist payment company, so the full card number never reaches us or sits on our system. Printing starts after payment goes through and your file has been checked. If your group needs a price agreed before anyone pays, ask for a quote instead. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02.

How do I work out how many CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On signs to order?

Start at the gate or front door and walk the route a visitor or a new member of staff would follow. Wherever the message matters and might be missed, it needs a sign: at every way in, on the way up to the danger and wherever the route turns. A big yard, car park or hall often needs several copies, and a sign read from further off should be larger. Identical signs can share one basket line with a quantity; give a different size or material its own line. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you.

The parcel turned up damaged. How do I sort it out?

Look everything over when it arrives. If something is damaged or missing, contact us within 48 hours through the contact form, with your order number and photos of both the item and the packaging. Please keep hold of it until we reply; we then sort out a reprint or a refund. Your legal rights stay the same, as the returns page sets out. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Choose Saver and this sign leaves us after 6 working days; Express brings that down to 2. Material choices for CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

I have never ordered printing before. Do I need to know the technical words?

No. A person on our team checks every file for size, bleed and resolution and tells you in plain words if anything needs changing. Or pick typesetting for £15 and we lay out your words and logo for you, with a first draft and two rounds of changes. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. For reference, CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Can the CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign carry wording in two languages, for example English and Welsh?

A community centre or a surgery often wants every visitor to understand a notice, and this sign can do that. Tick typesetting for £15, then give us your wording in each language, already translated, since translation is not something we do. You get one first draft and two rounds of changes. Keep the same symbol and sign colours so nobody misreads it. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On this page, CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign starts from £5.02.

Will my logo colours come out the same as on screen?

Very close, but not always identical. A screen glows, print reflects light, so a small difference is normal. Sending CMYK artwork keeps it nearest; RGB is changed to CMYK before printing and the brightest greens, blues and oranges can look a touch flatter. For an exact brand colour, give us the Pantone reference and we get as close as the material allows. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On this page, CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign starts from £5.02.

Some of our visitors have poor eyesight. Will this sign be easy for them to read?

Good contrast, a simple bold typeface and the right size for the reading distance make the biggest difference. Our standard safety designs already use the high-contrast colour combinations set out for safety signs. Put it at eye level in good light, away from reflections, and use as few words as possible. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

What if A1 (594 × 841 mm) is still too small for the CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign?

The size list tops out at A1 (594 × 841 mm), starting at £15.12. Anything bigger is priced on request: send the size, the material and how many through our quote form. A board over A0 counts as oversize for delivery, which adds £15 to the order once. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. For reference, CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Does a CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign come upright or wide?

Portrait. "CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On" is offered in A4, A3, A2 and A1. That shape is made for doors, posts and slim wall spaces. If your spot needs the opposite, pick one of the paid design options and we re-lay it to suit. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

The spot gets full sun all afternoon. Could this sign warp in the heat?

It depends on the board. Foamex is foamed plastic, and a large, thin sheet in strong sun can curve, most of all when it is held only at the corners. Dibond sandwiches a core between aluminium skins and stays flat, which is why people choose it for signs that live outdoors for years. If you go with Foamex, fix it flat to a wall along its length or pick a thicker option. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

Could the CCTV This Scheme Is Controlled by Write-On Sign go on a door, say an office or classroom door?

It can, and the vinyl sticker version is the tidiest way to do it on a door or a glass panel. On a flat door, the 3mm Foamex board with foam tape on the back is a good alternative. Aim for eye height, either beside the door or on the side people push, so an open door does not hide it. Fire doors are different: ask the person responsible for the building before you drill into one. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.
