No Photography Signs
No Photography Signs show that cameras, phones or recording equipment must not be used in controlled areas. They help you protect privacy, confidential work, residents, pupils, patients or security-sensitive operations by giving staff, visitors and contractors a clear rule before entry.
Where No Photography Signs Should Be Positioned
Install No Photography Signs at entrances, reception points, restricted doors, workshops, research rooms, schools, healthcare areas, archives, control rooms and private property boundaries. Position them before people can raise a camera so the rule is visible before access is granted.
Viewing Distance Guidance for No Photography Signs
Choose the size by how far away the restriction must be understood. Smaller signs suit doors and close approach points; larger A2 or A1 formats work better across lobbies, warehouse entrances, public access routes or outdoor boundaries.
| Size | Best viewing use |
|---|---|
| H 210 x W 148 mm | Close-range doors, counters and small rooms, around 2–4 metres |
| H 297 x W 210 mm | Reception areas, internal doors and corridor approaches, around 4–6 metres |
| H 420 x W 297 mm | Busy entrances, workshops and visitor routes, around 6–10 metres |
| H 594 x W 420 mm | Large foyers, production areas and outdoor approaches, around 10–15 metres |
| H 841 x W 594 mm | Longer-distance public boundaries, vehicle approaches and wide access points, around 15–25 metres |
