Cameras for your own home are widely used, but they must not intrude on neighbours. In one ODPC complaint, cameras covering the owner's premises were treated as a household activity, while in a 2023 High Court case a neighbour's privacy petition succeeded despite the owner's security concerns. Aim cameras at your own gate and yard, avoid neighbours' windows and keep recordings limited. This is general information, not legal advice.
Key takeaways
- Aim cameras at your own property.
- Neighbours' privacy can win in court.
- Limit recordings and sharing.
- Ask a lawyer for your situation.
