Neighbours cctv watching me.

[Philz0r]

My next door neighbour has cctv camera that can swivel and move around.

I noticed today when i came home for my dinner, as i parked my quad bike on the drive, it followed me and was pointing right at me in my backyard.

I stared right into it as if to say, wtf you looking at.

I get that the novelty of a quad bike they could be curious but it was down right creepy.

After my dinner it was pointing away and as i started up the bike it was looking at me again. (On my property).

I have a wife and 2 small children, i dont like that it can see in my garden and they are controlling it and pointing it.


I'm going to have a word with them next time i see them, they seem like good neighbours as never have trouble with them but this is creeping me out.

Are you a farmer?

Are you a farmer?

No, just a normal terrace house.

Do you wear a vest as outdoor attire?

If the cameras can see into your property then I'm 99% certain they have to blank those areas off otherwise they're in breach of some law. Go and speak to them about it.

It sounds like it's a ptz camera that automatically follows detected movement. I doubt very much your neighbour is manually controlling it to watch you. I would certainly be asking that they blank out your property.

Do you have a couch on your lawn?

When’s your trial date?

They probably recognise a higher than average price quad bike and are admiring it from the comfort of their settee. These cameras are the lazy gits alternative to true curtain twitching.

Before anyone gets anymore excited about the quad bike, its a works machine used to spray weeds.

Too late we've already got you marked down as owning a corner sofa as well

He wishes. That's his maximum aspiration! That and dags.

Probably explains why he has his camera watching you

Get someone that looks like his wife/gf and rub her head while smiling funny... job done

 

[alchal]

Just steal thier camera ?

 

[Yaayuh!]

Just discuss with them what they can see of your property and ask if they can blank out for your privacy and show proof they have done so.

Otherwise, you can always put in a SAR (Subject Access Request) for them to provide all data pertaining to you and/or your property in a timely manner for review before logging a complaint via the police and ICO.

Balaclava, black spray paint and ladder? Jobs a goodin.

 

[BUDFORCE]

See it as a benefit.

If your quad bike gets nicked for example, your neighbors CCTV might be enough for the police to identify the criminal.

It wouldn't bother me in the slightest. In fact I'm pretty sure our neighbor has a camera that can see in our garden a little.

if they are good neighbours bring it to attention and ask them to sort it out to a mutually agreable solution.
