Hi

my neighbours are paranoid about secruity they have cameras every where ,

No complaints there

one of these cameras does appear to be pointing directly onto our garden.

We have written to them asking them to respect our privacy and to please direct their camera away from our back garden but as yet the camera has not be moved

this is particularly concerning me as i have two teenage daughters.

What can i do legally about this intrusion that is within the law?

thread title update for clarity of issue.

if it predominantly monitoring their back garden and there is by way of angle no other way they can arrange it

then not a lot you can do

how long has it been there?

Couple of links of interest:

Hi

Have you tried actually speaking to them? This can be the easiest option and they could offer to show you to what extent the images cover your garden. They are quite entitled to film up to the edge of their boundary (the fence) but if they intend to film outside the boundary line, visual warnings should be placed and then they will have to comply with the GDPR.

Sorting this out should be easy but you have to live there and we don't know what your neighbours are like. If talking doesn't work then the next option is the ICO who will make a determination. Compromise is the best option.
