My neighbor and I had a dispute over the location of a fence in our back yards; she's upset because she thinks the fence is (literally) two inches on her property line. I think she's wrong, but still offered to pay her whatever she thought the value of the two inches was - up to $1,000. She refused, got mad, and called the police. Of course, the police decided not to do anything.
So rather than try to work things out, she runs out to Radio Shack and buys a surveillance camera. She places it directly under her overhang, and has it pointing directly into my backyard and my windows. I'm trying to take the high road, and not retaliate with a camera of my own. But I would like to prevent her from amassing surveillance footage of me.
It is my understanding that it takes a great deal of storage capacity to record survellance footage. If her camera records based on movement, would a windsock quickly fill up her harddrive with useless images? (it's very windy here). Any other ideas?

I think a great big American flag would look great in front of the camera. You can also get the flag that says: "Don't tread on me." But in the meantime, whenever you are within sight of the camera, have fun with it. Wave to the camera, (be sure to use all your fingers). Or you can always have a Plumbers butt crack when it's on. Be outside weeding or ?. Or just hire a plumber. Whatever you do, don't do ANYTHING obscene, that could be used in court against you. I wish I were there to help you, I love this kind of stuff. Have you talked to an attorney about your right to privacy yet. It sounds to me like she's a regular peeping Tom, especially if it's pointed towards your windows.

Have a survey done of your property. Then if she disputes it, tell her to get a survey of her own to prove it. Otherwise you have evry right to trust your survey until such time as she can disprove his survey. If a survey of your property shows you over the line (by 2") do the right thing and move the fence. If the survey proves you right do nothing and every time she brings it up, show her the survey. If she already has a survey that is showing the 2" encroachment, she should show it to you. Put up a huge smiley face, on top of your fence, right in line with the camera. The camera probably isn't ebven turned on, it's just intimidation.

If I was being spied on by a neighbor, I would see where the sun is, get any reflective material, and angle the sun right into the camera. The intense sun can damage all crucual parts in the camera. Of course, it's a very destructive way to get your point across, but very effective.

Ha ha this is a strange happening, but I would do anything to get that camera from recording anything I'm doing. Try blocking the view with a tarp or setup that wind sock. Anything to counter the camera is perfectly fine as it is invading your privacy.

Put up a flood light that shines on the camera all day and night.
