owenbright Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 “would you be happy in the summer time kids playing in the paddling pool knowing your next door neighbour is filming it.” No. but then again, there’s nothing you can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 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. As per usual the Police are wrong in that if there is a camera that records your nephews garden then this is an invasion of his privacy. The next question is does your nephew have children? If so he may be a closet nonser! then the issue really hots up..... I had a similar issue with a demented neighbour who in brief threatened me, scratched and damaged my car and I still have no idea why and got very upset that another neighbour filmed her and her other half doing the damage. The Police said it was an invasion of their privacy - work that one out if you can however they soon backed down when I wanted to press charges. Apparently a camera cannot say be pointed at a garden or a window as that is invasion of privacy however when it points to a car on the road there's no comeback!!! Needless to say my respect for the Police is almost non existent now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabroni Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Wonder if you'll miss his camera when you get burgled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liza D Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 What range do you think these cameras have? I have two, back and front and they don't even cover all of mine let alone my neighbours. My front one does take in the propertys across the road and my neighbours are ok with it especially as I have notices up stating so and any would be thief tends to avoid such. I think you should stay out of things and let your nephew sort it out himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bludragonfly Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Can't help but think that this is all a bit out of scale, if someone wanted to see a bit of my garden I couldn't care less; I could understand it if the camera was pointing towards my windows but not a thin sliver of the garden. but if that 'sliver of garden' is the only bit that gets evening sun when you are home from work and want to sunbathe I would consider it a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANGELFIRE1 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Wish one of my neighbours would invade my privacy by installing a security camera on his property that also covered mine. Where is the problem?. Angel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxofe Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Get a cheap laser pointer and Blu-tak it into place aimed at the camera so that it's blinded. Refuse to tun the laser off until the camera is re-directed. Haha, idea of the year, beats my "broomhandle" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandr Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Supposedly you can blind them with infrared LEDs, which would be harder for the neighbour to see (with his eyes, I mean). I get the impression they're not expensive but that would require some electronics skills.Yep, good idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Yep, good idea! Brilliant idea, try Bardwells on Abbeydale Road, they're a lot cheaper than Maplins, wire it to a small solar panel and you don't even have to replace the batteries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
