It’s a very safe neighborhood. I don’t have any problem with him directing a camera toward the street or the river but do have a problem pointing one across the 10 feet of his property to the property line and into our house.
My neighborhood was safe until the blue-haired old lady across the street died. The people who moved into the house after are a bunch of loser criminals. Our sheriff’s department have recovered 5 to 7 stolen vehicles from the area, and of course these neighbors know nothing about it. They blast their bass until all hours of the night, let their dogs run loose during the day, and generally annoy the heck out of everyone.
My security cameras face the street, and do aim towards their house. But, it keeps my vehicles in view. They’ve already busted my drivers side mirror off once -before I installed the cameras.
I haven’t finished reading the thread, but I wonder if this is something other than a camera. I live near woods and a creek and have all sorts of wildlife activity, deer, coyotes, raccoons, etc. We have installed “predator eyes” which turn on a red light at night to make them think that they’ve been spotted. It has been mistaken as a surveillance camera by our neighbors too. I’m not saying that your neighbor isn’t spying on you, but offering that it might be something else.
