Neighbours ring doorbell captures our whole house

[salt123]

Our across the road neighbour has posted a video in the street WhatsApp asking if anyone recognises the person ringing her doorbell. It's bought to our attention that her ring doorbell captures our whole house in full. You can see into our bedroom windows.
I'd be uncomfortable with that anyway but her son who lives with her has been in prison for sex offences. Is it worth raising this? Surely you can set the ring doorbell to only cover your drive and pathway directly in front of your house?

I think you need to have a reasonable expectation of privacy though for you to have a case here. As I understand it the court case referred to by others was about cameras placed so they were recording the woman's garden where she might have a reasonable expectation of privacy. The street frontage of a property is a bit different so not sure it can be used as a blanket example in this case.

As for GDPR, I guess it depends on what exactly the rules are. I'm not sure that you would get very far requesting that a supermarket provide you with all footage of you on their CCTV. They could rightly argue that it would take too much time and cost to search through all footage to give you the relevant sections and may also mean they give you other people's personal information. I'm guessing a neighbour would be able to use exactly the same excuse to save them hours trawling through ring doorbell footage. People should of course make sure they aren't storing the video indefinitely (mostly likely not possible due to memory storage constraints anyway).

Most ring doorbells I have seen have a little sign anyway, people want people to know they are there so they put of would be thieves.

Most of them do, I can see both houses opposite me, can’t see into their windows though

Dunno how close your house is, but you can see neighbouring houses on mine which are across a standard road, but if I zoom in any closer than what the standard picture is; past my driveway, it's a blurry mess anyways, and you can't really see anything meaningful, especially in the neighbours houses.
