The law typically protects areas where you have a “reasonable expectation of privacy,” such as bedrooms, bathrooms, or enclosed backyards. If your neighbor’s camera seems directed into these areas, it could be considered an invasion of privacy.
However, intent also matters. Most people install cameras for security, not to spy on neighbors. If the camera inadvertently captures parts of your property while monitoring theirs, it’s generally not seen as a violation. Issues arise when the camera appears to be deliberately pointed at private areas on your property.
