FortifySecuring what matters
CCTV FOOTAGE

Request CCTV footage.

If you need footage from a system Fortify manages or maintains, start here. Every request is verified, referred to the owner of the system, and logged from the moment it arrives.

Start a request
A request, not an authorisation

Submission of this form does not automatically authorise the release of footage. All requests are subject to verification and authorisation by the CCTV system owner / data controller.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Footage from a system we look after.

This form is for footage held on a CCTV system that Fortify Security Systems installed, manages or maintains in Gibraltar — whether you are the business that owns it, a police officer investigating an incident, an insurer, or someone caught up in something that happened on the premises.

If the cameras belong to a business we do not work with, they — not us — hold the footage, and the request needs to go to them directly.

BEFORE YOU START
  • The address of the site, and the name of the business the system belongs to.
  • The date of the incident and roughly what time it happened — a window either side helps.
  • Which camera or area you need, even if only described in plain words.
  • A police reference number, if the request relates to an investigation.
  • Who the footage is ultimately for — the police, your insurer, your solicitor, or yourself.
HOW A REQUEST IS HANDLED

Six steps, every one recorded.

Releasing footage means handing over personal data about the people in it. We treat it that way — the same process runs for every request, and each stage is written down against your reference number.

01

You submit the request

The form below is logged the moment you send it and you are given a unique reference number. Nothing is released at this stage.

02

We verify who you are

We confirm your identity and that you have the authority to ask for footage from that site.

03

The system owner decides

The request goes to the owner of the CCTV system — the data controller — who authorises or refuses release.

04

An engineer exports it

If release is authorised, an engineer exports the footage for the cameras and period agreed, and nothing beyond it.

05

The release is logged

Who approved it, who exported it, what was exported and how it was handed over are all recorded against your reference.

06

You acknowledge receipt

The recipient confirms they have received the footage, which closes the chain of custody for that disclosure.

GOOD TO KNOW

Four things worth knowing first.

Recordings do not last forever

Most systems overwrite footage after a set period — often 14 to 31 days. If the incident is recent, send the request now rather than waiting for a claim or a crime number.

Other people appear on footage too

Footage may be withheld, trimmed or obscured where releasing it would reveal information about people unconnected with your incident.

We are not always the decision-maker

Where Fortify maintains a system owned by someone else, they are the data controller. We pass the request to them and act on their instruction.

Police and legal requests

Officers and solicitors are welcome to use this form. Quote the crime or matter reference so the request can be matched to the right disclosure.

THE REQUEST

Tell us what you need.

It takes a few minutes. The more precisely you can describe the time and place, the more likely we are to find the right footage before it is overwritten.

Urgent, or an incident still unfolding?

Submit the form anyway so the request is logged and timestamped, then email hello@fortify.gi with your reference number so we can prioritise it.

Please do not send footage, photographs or video to us through this form — it is for requests only.

1

The site

Where the cameras are — including unit or floor if it helps us find the right system.

2

About you

3

The footage

Approximate times are fine — a window either side of the incident helps us find it.

If you do not know the camera number, describe the location — “the till area”, “rear car park entrance”.

4

Why you need it

What happened, and anything that will help identify the right footage — vehicles, descriptions, direction of travel.

Name the person or organisation it will be given to — the police force, your insurer, your solicitor, or yourself.

5

Declaration

Type your full name. This stands as your signature on the request and is recorded with the date and time.

You will be given a reference number as soon as the request is logged. Prefer to speak to someone? Write to hello@fortify.gi.

CCTV THAT STANDS UP LATER

Is your own system fit for this?

Footage is only worth requesting if it was recorded properly in the first place. We will tell you honestly whether yours would hold up.
