Neighbours CCTV

Can anyone help, advise or has been in this situation.

We have new neighbours opposite slightly to the left. They moved in and when they first moved in , we used to see them peering in people front windows when they were out 🤣 . They’re really bizzare and nosey. They have all their curtains shut themselves but we’ve noticed they put a number of CCTV cameras in their house - inside and outside.

One camera is in their front bedroom and is directed fully into our house- it just points into our bedroom and lounge.

I have children who waddle around with no pants on etc as you can’t see into our house… however this camera can!

Does anyone have any advise on what we do . We are reluctant to talk to them as it’s confrontation and also they’ll say it doesn’t point - is their an official person we can report to on this and any experience help welcomed!

Thank you

How do you know they have cameras inside their house and in their bedroom!?

I very much doubt they've done it purely to watch you or other neighbours. If it's in their front bedroom then that's likely to be so it has a view of the front path/driveway, not because they want to spy on you and your kids.

Get some frosted window cling on that window. I have it at the lower windows in my playroom as I hated people walking by and peering in at the kids playing. It's cheap on amazon and much better than nets.

Following. I live in a terraced house and the next door neighbours ring doorbell records every time we leave etc and all conversations we have. We hate it. They recently moved in and put the ring doorbell in. We about to move as a direct result of this doorbell. She messages me photos of what happening here etc... what the guy delivering?

Oh yeah I can see how that’s tricky. We have a ring doorbell but are in detached houses and the boundary is set to the end of our property. It would drive me mental if it was set further as it pings anytime there’s movement- they must get Alerted constantly when everyone walks past?!!!

How exactly do you know this camera can see into your house? And how closely have you been looking to see what they have in their bedroom?

This sounds like six of one half a dozen of the other to be honest. Get some net curtains if you're worried and crack on.

Because it’s a static cctv indoor ring video facing directly into us

how does it sound like six of one and half a dozen of the other 🤣🤣🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I would get the window treatments that mean you can see out, but they can't see in.

The neighbours sound awful and creepy

It would be a shame if you were playing with the cat with a laser pen and it just happened to shine right into the lens of the camera, wouldn't it.

Would that break it 🤣 I’m sat now on my sofa with a cctv camera filling me- it’s so weird!
