Marcus Aurelius left an annotation (16 February 2010)

As a LU station employee, I should like to add that the retention times for CCTV footage is set out in our "Rule Books" as 14 days. The reality is that, dependent upon the type of system in place (VHS-tape or DVD) and "local procedure, there may be a greater retention time, sometimes an additional one or two weeks.
