What are the legal issues surrounding installing a camera and filming carers?

Hi guys I’ve had to sign up in unfortunate circumstances. My GF has cerebral palsy and requires care. Unfortunately we’ve noticed money going missing so I’ve decided to instal a camera for when I’m not here.
Anyone know the legality of this am I obliged to inform the care company/council.
Has anyone else suffered from theft from the people supposed to look after them it’s very distressing we can’t prove who took the money and we still have to potentially open our door to the person who stole from us. The camera has definitely made me feel better just worried about legal issues.

Good Afternoon & Welcome it’s great to meet you.
I am very very sorry to hear about your current problems.
I would only echo the above info already given from a number of our members.
The main would be to report it asap.
@steve51
” processing carried out by individuals purely for personal/household activities.”.
There is already caselaw suggesting that what’s described here is neither of the above.
