Home CCTV

[Simon42]

The difference is you're doing it professionally, you have to make people aware, I was the same converting eBikes, they need to know the law.
However as an homeowner and somebody who has spoke to my neighbours I'll take the chance, if one moans I'll turn their property black.

You are not getting permission from the public passing by though, and recording audio from the street means someone can take action against you. If they don't know then they won't but that doesn't make it right. How many people would be happy to have their conversations in the street or their own property recorded? We have lots of CCTV public spaces these days but audio is not recorded for a reason as its too invasive and liable to legal action.

"No expectation of privacy in a public area".
Goes for audio as well as video.

If you're that worried that my CCTV is recording your latest dogging hotspot, or your Friday afternoon, pre-pub Columbian Marching Powder pickup, then politely take yourself further away from my cameras...
