Concealed Mount
Is legal for my next door neighbour to perform concealed video surveillance?

we are living in a duplex, but we have a shared backyard with separate entrances. The other day he concealed a webcamera behind the window of the bathroom facing our entrance to the backyard, where we usually spend time drinking tea, beer and just talking. A spare beach umbrella was used to close the view of the camera and the recording. On the next day, the neighbour covertly mounted a webcam already outside the house, on a bbq grill, half closed with towels. But i see there is a wire coming to the grill and a microsoft logo from between the towels. You know, i feel so embarrassed that my private life is under surveillance of a probable pervert or maniac. Can i call the cops in this case?
I have heard that if the camera is installed in his part of the house, i cannot do anything, but if it’s on a shared backyard, it should be labelled with “…under video surrveillance…”

what should i do?

thank you

You can call the cops and file a harassment complaint, because that’s what it is. You have the right to not be videotaped in and around your own home. I would confront the neighbor about it first and let him know what you know about it and to remove it. If he doesn’t then file a complaint. You can even sue him in civil court or get a restraining order.
Seems to me like this is just the tip of this guy’s crazy iceberg. I’d nip it in the bud before he starts doing stuff that’s even worse.
