My neighbour opposite has 2 video cameras in her window facing my house. She says they are fixed onto her car as it has had some damage/scratches in the past. Are there any laws with regards to video's in your window facing other residential properties?

Yes, in the UK it is covered by the data protection act which has a specific section regarding the use of CCTV, check out the Information Commissioner link below.

Yes, there are laws that have come in within the last few years regarding the use of video surveillance. One regulation is that the person using the cameras must have notices near each camera to the effect that they are in use. They must also not intrude on another persons privacy. I would recommend that you check with your local council for more information.

§ 14:283- States that it truly is illegitimate no matter if it really is used for a 'lewd or lascivious objective' then it would want to be considered unlawful. there is a few room for interpretation of this regulation and it would want to count number to what degree those cameras were pointed into your brothers abode. in the journey that they element without delay right into a level on your brothers abode the position he might want to have some expectation of privateness (bathing room or bedroom) it would want to correctly be argued that those cameras were for causes except safe practices. If the cameras are pointed in the direction of spots that haven't got a lifelike expectation of privateness like a footpath, or the siding then they could be thoroughly criminal.

I would recommend building a very high fence. But in all seriousness, it will vary from state-to-state and town-to-town. Check with your local office and ask about the laws. If she is a decent neighbor, perhaps she will allow you in to actually see where the cameras are aimed and what sort of view they have of your house.

I have them as well but I only cover my property. One camera is a dummy for a thief to put out of action. The REAL one is well hidden!

go to city hall and ask about video survellance laws... check the city ordinance about it...
mostly if the cameras are public / outside it's ok.... indoors is a different story... there's many laws that are different and one must get permission.
cameras in your house are ok.. but you must make them visible to guests... and tell them about the cameras... also if there's cameras in the bathroom.. it can't be the guest bathroom... and if people are to use the rooms where cameras are you must tell them about it and give them the option to decline.
:D

NO, only if she puts a camera ON your property! If it was against the law the paparazzi would be in jail!

I was always told, but never confirmed this, that you need permission on private property but not public. I would start by checking your local ordinances. Maybe you can consider it something that could benefit you if anything ever happens?

they must have signs up notifying the public if the camera points onto a public road or path .
