If your neighbour is to the north of you - just plant some Leylandii.

If your nephew has household insurance, he should have access to a free legal advice line - check the small print in the policy to find the number

Problem with that is if he has no footage of said kids on his cctv hard drive then the complaint could be filed under malicious.

That could then cause problems for the op,

Looking for some advice on behalf of my nephew regarding his neighbours back garden security camera. The camera in question is on the neighbours house wall just below a bedroom window and about one metre in from the boundary. Problem is that it doesn't point straight out at the neighbours garden, but is angled at about (my guess) 20 to 30 degrees towards the boundary and therefore, it seems reasonable to assume, also captures images of my nephews garden.

 

The two of them don't get on particularly well and when he asked the neighbour about it, suggesting that perhaps the camera could be angled to only cover their own garden, the reply was in the vein of 'f@@@ @@f, I will point it where I choose and there's nothing you can do about it'.

 

Nephew has contacted the police for some advice/guidance but they apparently aren't interested unless the whole thing escalates into criminal damage/breach of the peace/assault or some other such thing.

 

Has anyone had experience of this sort of problem and able to offer any advice as to the best course of action without resorting to knocking the camera off the wall? Is there any right under the law to prevent someone recording your comings & goings and what you choose to do on your own property? Legal action is a non-starter as nephew hasn't got the sort of money that this would likely cost.

This is really the problem isn't it as if they were pals than there wouldn't be a problem.

I had the same with my camera pointing down the drive, the git who lived opposite decided it was pointing at his front door and coincidently we didn't get on either.

He phoned the police who I told that the camera was for the drive and not my fault his door comes into view and they left it at that.

How do you know he is recording comings and goings at your nephews property or is that what you are assuming.

The cctv isn't the problem here.

free added security, if you want privacy build a big fence. Have we really got such an insecure intolerant society

the camera is invading your privacy, they have no rights to do so, contact local council regarding matter, remember keep a record of it all, contact the owner again , and record what he says with your phone, as evidance , things can escalate , its a cival matter, not a legal thing

 

 

I've had a similar issue in the past, as long as no more than around 30% of neighbours property is covered then there's nothing you can do.

 

there is no hard of fast rule. This is one of those cases where a police CSO comes into their own.

 

camera looking at your garden? if the same view could be had in person - no grounds

 

camera looking straight in your bedroom window? camera sited to do so - action can be taken

 

for the record the only legal aspect of fitting domestic CCTV is, surprisingly one of planning law.
