There are many rules and laws about setting up CCTV. The main rule is that is does not invade other peoples privacy. If the camera looks into your neighbours garden, then it will result in their privacy being invaded and so the camera will have to be reangled away from your neighbours.


If you refuse to reangle the camera, your neighbours can take you to court for Privacy Invasion and or Voyeurism.


In some instances, planing permission has to be obtained before CCTV cameras can be put up. Your local council can advise you on this.Legal advice on CCTV best answer will be chosen?
You can use CCTV to view the surrounds of your property and if this happens to encroach on a neighbouring property it is not illegal.





It would be pertinent to explain to your neighbour that you are putting CCTV in and maybe let them see just how much of their property is in view.





They may like the idea of their property being in view as a security issue.





Good Luck
I think that you would need their permission in order to do so because you are recording over their property and it could be considered an invasion of privacy, even if it is intentional.
Yep he can sue you for invasion of privacy. You can only install CCTV on your own property and to view only your own property.
