Mate of mine has a camara at looks at the driveway and it sees the pavement and a bit of the road as well :confused: ,not sure whether the PIR covers all that area though :confused:

I looked into this when some g!t :evil: nicked my sat nav by breaking the drivers window of my car on my front drive.

As I currently understand it, you do NOT need to put up warning notices or register under Data Protection Laws as long as the cameras are focused on your property, and cannot be remotely controlled or zoomed in.

I imagine there is a bit of a grey area where drives meet pavement, but unless you have a fence there is no way of not capturing the public highway in the background and I doubt it creates a major issue.

and

have some useful information which seems to be up to date.

......I'm guessing that rigging cctv to spy on nubile neighbours is probably frowned upon though :eek: :LOL:

surely the DPA would only cover recorded material? If the tapes are wiped each day and not held for any length of period then would it be classified as stored information in regards compliance with the DPA?
