There is no problem with a covert installation and as long and as you
prevent the camera capturing images of a public area there is not a legal
requirement for a sign, however, if you plan to use the captured images for
evidence or you plan to monitor audio, a small warning sign mounted at the
entrance gate would suffice to prevent any future privacy problems.
