It's worth noting that each country has a different approach to GDPR enforcement (which arguably defeats the point of it but that's another discussion).

The UK tends to be a lot more (IMO) reasonable in its approach than some other European countries. Italy tends to be one of the strictest, and likes to hand out fines, even to private individuals for things like having a doorbell camera. The UK has only fined one person on that basis, and it was more of a harassment case rather than just simply that they had a camera.

ICO and Ofcom aren't generally in the business of dishing out fines unless it's quite obviously warranted.
