I remain of the opinion that if this video was done without the owner’s permission, it was a downright tacky thing to do. “Nice” comments by the guy are are not the issue. No absolution there.
If he continues to drive around and film homes to “feature” in his YouTube videos, he needs to ask permission from the owners. (Maybe he did that — but I doubt it — and like I said above, if so, I apologize.)
Your comparison to Christmas lights is not a true comparison. One is invited. One (likely) was not.
Btw, my manners are not “snobbish” like you said.

"Tacky"? That's a matter of opinion
Illegal? Absolutely not.
Your definition of "invited" is flawed.
It would be like saying everyone's Ring doorbell, Nest cam, etc, that happens to capture a neighbors house, is in violation of the law.
What about the aerial photos used on The Villages home listings, or private realtors who capture other than the home which is for sale? Is that a violation as well? No.
What about news crews filming a house from the street?
