We recently realized that our neighbor has a security camera that is directed at our front door and lanai. What can we do?

If it's on their property, I doubt that you can do anything except ask them to remove it.

Isn't it great to live in The Villages? To many neighbors worried about what everyone else is doing.

You will be glad they have it if something happens at your house. Most likely they don't even look at the security camera footage, it's there in case something happens and then they can review the footage.

Take a deep breath... Although the camera may SEEM to be angled at your front door and lani, the camera, in fact, is angled to take in their property and street in front of their house. It may take in some of your property, if it does, it's a win-win for you. You never know, one day you may need it. The camera doesn't get that clear of a video by the time it gets to your house.

We also recently added a security camera to our house, it points from our front corner of the house back- viewing our driveway and side door. In this view we can see our neighbors Lani and front of their house. We did this, because we had a renter that brought stuff into our home and it caused major damage(thousands of $) to our home. We could not prove anything...so guess what...all we get from that wonderful renter is his security deposit.
I guess in our case, our neighbor might think we are spying on him...we're not...can't see more that if we were there looking out our window. We just want to protect our property. Just to be clear, we would never consider adding an interior camera...that's probably criminal, but after you go thru what we did.....well it's a bitter and expensive pill to swallow.

I wouldn't walk out naked to get the paper, if I were you.

Some security cameras only record when there is motion. And, the camera may be too far away to record anything, depending on the motion range setting.

Why would this be a problem for you? There are ring doorbells all over TV that capture houses across the street. Why wouldn't you just think of it as extra protection

Guess you should stop entertaining him

I'd be more concerned if they had a floodlight pointed at my house. Or worse than that, a wind chime.

I have 2 houses and both have cams on front AND back. Let’s me monitor coming and going at the house and more importantly monitor the landscapers. They don’t record at all, I have to be looking at the phone at the moment. I can see down the street, etc. I don’t think they are doing it to monitor what you are doing at all. I would not worry about it

Ours (driveway and doorbell) records 24/7 and recording is saved to the cloud for IIRC 5 or 6 months. It only notifies me when there is motion but is always recording (YES it uses a LOT of data).

Cheap protection against criminals and others that come on your property. You would be surprised the damage others landscapers can do to your property

This IS the Villages. Hard to imagine how an outside security camera could be mounted and NOT be able to see at least one neighbor's house. You might want to visit The Shade Guys.
