Any of you had and neighbor issues about you having

[GOPAPA]

security cameras set up on your house aiming at the street in front of you

I have them at the rental property on my detached garage that face the driveway and the street . Never had an issue with neighbors about them . People need to realize that there is no assumption of privacy in public spaces .

Now if the camera is zoomed in on the neighbors window that may be a problem

I haven't but that's probably because we both have cameras on our houses. Mine is a little further back on my detached garage but it covers both of our driveways and then the gate to my backyard.

the only people who do have issues with cameras are afraid of getting caught doing something they shouldnt be doing, unless of course youre aiming them directly at your neighbor for voyeur pruposes

We have a neighbor who vandalized some of our cars and plants. One of those things where you know who did it, but nobody saw, so can't do anything about it. I put up security cameras and that all stopped. I aimed the cameras so that they top out at about mid-street. The neighbor directly across the street from me said I could include her house in the view, but I like my privacy and am giving them theirs.

""Idaho Law"" on security cameras aiming at house across from you .. Law says that it is legal to point a camera at your neighbors front property in plain view.. It is against the law to having a camera pointed into the neighbors back yard ,, that is against the privacy law

Chances are that your driveway or yard is the collateral background in a legitimate monitoring of your neighbor's property. Just as the home security camera laws in California says, “There are no restrictions, for a private person to have video surveillance cameras around their property for the purposes of security.” I'd personally aim them so that the neighbor's property was not surveilled, though. Don't have cameras in the back yard, yet.

That's simply not true. I don't do anything nefarious or illegal, but I don't want to be spied on either.

I have cameras on my home and garage, but they're aimed with a downward angle so they don't seem to be spying on neighbors.

Given how many Ring type doorbell cams are already watching entry ways and the streets and houses farther out, I wouldn't worry too much about putting one up. Wouldn't hurt to let those neighbors you are on good terms with know that you put up one or more cameras(keep some things secret).

Just make sure you secure the thing from the Internet at large. Way too many of the things can be viewed by anyone that knows your IP address. Remember, the 'S' in IOT (Internet Of Things), stands for Security. You don't want your security camera to wind up being used to spy on you so the bad guys know when you are gone and it is safe to rob the place.

I with help from our son put up all 9 cameras and all are working well except one and if by moving the antennas around on it does not fix it ,,then I will have to move it until signal comes in steady ,.. bummer as it is the high one on at the top of a gable.. I use my 6 ft scaffolding and a 8 foot latter to reach it.. Dont know if I mentioned it before ,,but I am replacing the old cameras that are out dated and all my neighbors have seen them before on my house and never have mentioned them when chatting on the street ,, We are a waving at each other neighbors,,

When I go into civilization I assume I'm being monitored in some form. Living on the border I believe there are times when either Canada, or US picks me up. Lots of choppers, and US Canadien Coast guard behind the house. Border patrol boats. It's the way of the world. Everyone that posts on here is subject to surveillance, got a cellphone? Modern vehicles watch what you do.
