Areas not to install security cameras

Places that violate your neighbor’s privacy – Specific laws regarding cameras and privacy vary from state to state, so it’s wise to check local laws (and with the local homeowners association) to make sure you won’t have to undo your installation. In general, homeowners are allowed to have outdoor security cameras that cover a broad area, and it’s usually OK to capture your neighbor’s public-facing property in the background of your footage. Legally, problems arise if your camera captures areas where your neighbors have an expectation of privacy (for example, if your cameras can see into their bedrooms or bathrooms) or if you use the footage for non-security purposes. Keep in mind that these rules apply to video surveillance systems only. Audio recording without knowledge and consent is illegal in most circumstances.

Bedrooms and bathrooms – The urge to keep a watchful eye on kids or elderly folks in your household is understandable. However, some areas have a warranted expectation of privacy. Luckily, there are plenty of alternatives. Baby monitors are smart choices for very young kids’ rooms. Motion detects and glass break sensors, as part of a connected home security system, can be added to doors and windows. Personal medical alert systems are strong choices for seniors.
