I have my own cctv xD. And it certainly doesnt look into their yard.
Hopefully they will be decent about it.

Put their letterbox to good use, then when they watch the evidence back, have them banged up for voyeurism, job done.

I'd watch you too...
Come again?
doorbell cams that face into the street monitoring the public, or into other peoples gardens it's a privacy breach
Same.
Terraced house, car park full of hatchbacks and you’re commuting on a quad bike, I’m amazed there’s not more cameras on you
I would assume auto tracking before snooping. For the sake of your relationship with your neighbour, be passive agreessive and suggest its following you and where did they get auto tracking cameras from... Judge your next move based on their response.

A lot of people use quad bikes for weed spraying, they can mount and carry enough water / weedkiller mix to be useful on large areas, unlike in a back pack, are very manoeuvrable and capable of running on rough or muddy terrain. To feign surprise the bloke goes back home on one is a bit odd, not all estate, parkland or farm workers live within the curtilage of their workplace.
Sounds like auto tracking.
Ask them how good the feature Is. Shh how they respond.
We have one, it will follow any movement.. be it a car, or a person walking their dog.
I get alerted once that motion enters the zones specified on the camera software.

I'd be super uncomfortable with that, says me with doorbell cams and a back garden camera that can technically just see into next-door all be it at a very low level of quality.
Surely its a case of knock on his door and tell him the tracking should not be on when facing into your property and he needs to reposition it.

It’s a grey area currently. They all work on movement, can set a range on most and don’t record sound unless activated. This shows that there is a good attempt at ensuring public privacy which is keeping the ICO at bay currently, that and how wide spread they are…
That said though, I would argue that they should still need to follow the same requirements as standard CCTV operators. I suspect something will change here in the near future.
The former is incorrect. It's perfectly legal to have a doorbell camera facing into the street. The latter is about the case which @Emo_hug referred to, where one neighbour had put up a number of recording devices which also covered a lot of the neighbours garden and was an invasion of privacy.
The key is in the detail on how they're set up.
"Hey guys, you may have inadvertently enabled auto tracking on your camera"
or
"Hey guys, turn that camera off otherwise I am going to take a dump through your letter box"
