I have cameras on my house; I asked my neighbours if they were okay with them beforehand.

They're local storage only, no net access. I got them after my garage was broken into the second time. It's been a few years, haven't had a third break-in yet.

What would you have done if they said no?

		There are a bunch of other options. Cameras with agreed-upon privacy blackout areas. Realistic fake cameras. Non-camera security products, like lights and fences. Get a dog.

		you place the camera in such a way that it only covers your own property. in germany having a camera that goes beyond your own property is even illegal, so that's the only way to place cameras there.
