Neighbour watching me on ring doorbell

My neighbour keeps watching me through their ring doorbell. I’ve asked them to stop (via the doorbell when they were watching me) but they’re continuing to watch me.

they’re definitely watching, rather than just the doorbell being triggered by motion, as the blue light comes on. They’re not very tech savvy so I don’t think they realise that a blue light is on.

I’ve got multiple photos of their doorbell with the blue light from the last few months. Including a video where I asked the doorbell to stop watching me that shows the blue and red lights going off after my request.

I'm starting to feel harassed and think this is in response to the previous issues we’ve had with a fence. (See old post if you’re interested)

where do I go from here?

I think this is just the modern equivalent of looking out your window when something happens outside your house. I can probably make a bet that they do this with every motion, not just you.

There's nothing you can do

That's like someone sat by the window watching people all day.

This time through a camera

They are allowed you know :)

Doesn't a ring doorbell record any movement? They're probably not recording you specifically, its just your movement triggering it's recording.

Is it illegal for someone to see or watch you going in and out of your house? They're not stalking you as they are inside their own home surely?

If it was someone watching you through their window it would be the same wouldn't it?

I think in your place I'd give a big grin and wave!

I mean, if you're outside of your/their house in the street, there's not much you can do? I guess it's like the modern equivalent of curtain twitching
