Quote from ICO - The use of cameras for limited household purposes is
exempt from the DPA. This applies where an individual uses CCTV to
protect their home from burglary, even if the camera overlooks the
street or other areas near their home.


Doesn't specifically say it's ok to have it covering a neighbour's
property, though.


It doesn't specifically say that it's OK to take pictures of bananas

Anything that is not prohibited is by default permitted.

Thing is if you wish to add a window overlooking a neighbour's house they
can object to planning permission. Don't see why a camera is any different.


A camera is not something that requires planning permission.


panning permission, on the other hand ...
