From what I have been able find, the CCTV restrictions do NOT apply to domestic installations - they only apply when in conjunction with a business or public body.
Essentially you can do what you want, the police cannot do anything about it unless it is pointing directly into someone else's window where you can be accused of voyeurism.
The police cannot even view the monitor without a court order.
Claims of potentially being prosecuted for harassment are far fetched and unlikely to succeed so can be ignored.
Even if it covers a neighbours garden or the road, the cars in it and the people walking past - there is zip that can be done about it.
The DPA does not cover domestic installations.
Some links found on da web.
