How long do airports keep CCTV footage?


How long do airports keep CCTV footage? TSA is unlikely to have airport videos unless we obtained them as a result of an alleged checkpoint incident or security breach. Therefore, we recommend that you request video recordings from the local airport authority. Also, be aware that airport authorities generally delete recordings after 30 days.


Is security camera footage public domain?

In general, imagery, video, and audio (multimedia) materials produced for and by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are considered public domain and not copyrighted within the United States and are available for use.


How far back can you check CCTV footage?

Generally, security camera footage lasts from three months to one year based on cases. The old footage is deleted automatically to create space for new recordings. Note that each security camera is different and storage space too. A few businesses and financial institutions have a large amount of storage capacity.
