I have cameras covering my whole property because of local low-income housing that has kids who are problems, I also posted several signs around my property to show there are cameras everywhere and auto lights for any motion at night, once the neighbourhood found out we have cameras the local kids avoid the whole street corner my house is on, worked like a charm.

oh everyone found out when a neighbour had his car stolen last summer and my cameras saw everything and caught the thief in the act which led to his arrest, also after that neighbors on both sides now have cameras too, so we worked out to cover each others houses so blind spots.

Legally I think you need permission from anyone within your cameras gaze. Neighbours ect.

That's really cool you caught a car thief tho!
 
not on public streets, it's only the neighbour's houses that I need permission, I checked with my city beforehand, which I have and they have mine to make sure there are no blind spots. what I can't do is film on/into private property without permission.

I never checked Google before, but this is what it states and it's the same thing my city told, me pretty much

Are you allowed to film people in public in Canada?

A: In Canada, you can legally film on public property where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. This would include a public beach. What you cannot do, however, is film individuals at the beach for a public purpose (e.g., zooming in on breast and genital regions)

There in lies the problem. Filming a public street into a neighbours yard. I think most people would be fine with it, free security.
 
Oh ya for sure you can't just do that, yet some do, but you can also set up the security systems to not record certain zones on the screen IE people's houses/property/windows, I have permission as do my neighbours to record sections of my property as I record sections of there's.

As a side note, for camera photography and probably security and other cameras, there's a secondary issue. Taking public pictures, images, video, etc. as you note is legal. Although sometimes you'll get someone complaining that it's illegal. I had a custom's officer tell me I couldn't take pictures of trucks. I was not on Canada Custom's property, I was on a nearby road. He came out to complain. I tried explaining that; he suspected I was taking pictures of custom officers - I wasn't.

The secondary issue is publishing images and where it can get tricky, depending on who or what you've taken pictures and where you are publishing and how you are presenting the images. Taking pictures of someone's vehicle with their licence plate, etc. and complaining about them, etc.

A third issue that's often completely overlooked by people is meta data of images. Cell phones and other devices that are connect via GPS will record the exact location. (I have one older camera that I can turn GPS on/off). So when you pass on a photo or anything that's private or personal to someone, you're passing on information of your location. You need to strip out the EXIF meta data. For photograph on the computer, Right Click, then select Properties - then click on the "Remove Properties..." No idea how you'd do this on security or other video cameras. You can see here that I've blacked out Author & Copyright which I added to the camera. No idea how much meta data is in other video formats or how to erase it.

We just "caught" a group of 3 individuals on our side yard blink + motion sensor light who (judging by the large unwieldy boxes and bags they're carrying) appear to have just committed a b&e. They were running, and sorry, but nobody's moving their own gear like that at 12 AM. :)

Probably nothing that will be done with it, but video clip + description forwarded on to crime stoppers.
 
Haven't pre-ordered a game on Steam since Probabably Fallout 4 nine years ago. Preordered new God of War. Supposed to be released @ 9AM local. 9:10 still allowing me to play. Restart Steam, now it seems to be doing something. Unpacking 175GB :oops:. 10 minutes and I'm almost half done. At this rate I won't even be able to play before I have to leave for work.
