I Have a neighbour with cctv cameras recording sound about 8 feet away from my front door
I have a neighbour that has had a cctv camera pointing at his garage that is attached to my garage. and about 7 feet from my front door. It records sounds too. Is this legal, I don't like the idea that he can record any of my conversations when I answer the door, it is sound activated too. He says it doesn't point at any of our land, but it certainly can pick up sounds, I have to keep my windows shut too if I'm having conversations on the phone, surely this can't be right?.

Plus he can hear everything we say.
that link is just a code of practice spacechimp aimed at businesses and organisations who routinely capture images of individuals on their CCTV equipment it also states on this page

that he use of cameras for limited household purposes is exempt from the DPA. This applies where an individual uses CCTV to protect their home from burglary, even if the camera overlooks the street or other areas near their home.

I was gonna get cctv to see who was damaging my cars. After lookin furthe into it as i live in flats i was told if its just pictures and points at anyone elses property its illegal. This is seen as an invasion of privacy so get onto your neighbour and if he refuses go to the local authorities as your neighbour is breaking the law. FULL PRIVACY MUST BE GIVEN AT ALL TIMES TO EVERY1
