If the guy really is a paedophile then it's unlikely he would advertise the fact by training cameras on your daughter's room. He probably doesn't even realise it is her room.
Exactly. He might simply be perving over the wife.silversun said:
Sure I'm going to get flamed for this, but do people seriously think it's a good thing to label someone as a paedophile, potentially ruining their life, with no proof?

He's probably got paranoid over some neighbour dispute or repeated vandalism and has put up the cameras as a result.
that's a reasonable and considered post, but I'm already halfway through painting my 'Paedos Burn in Hellfire!' placard, there's no going back......If the guy really is a paedophile then it's unlikely he would advertise the fact by training cameras on your daughter's room.

ok, but - why did he not only fail to take the OP's concerns seriously, but actually get aggressive?
also, why, if he's had vandelism etc, did he not say that was why the cameras were up.
even if it is innocent, he should restrict their field of vision to his own property.
God, I knew I was going to get grief for this. I'm not defending the guy, merely saying that painting him as a paedo without any evidence is wrong.also, why, if he's had vandelism etc, did he not say that was why the cameras were up.

I have no idea why the guy got aggressive or why he didn't say what the cameras were for. I'm not psychic. On a speculative basis, someone who's in a serious neighbour dispute or been repeatedly targeted by vandals/thieves may be defensive and upset which was why he reacted badly. Which is why I suggested writing to him and explaining that his cameras are pointing into the OP's house and his daughter's bedroom and it's making them all uncomfortable, then asking him to redirect the cameras quoting any relevent piece of legislation.
Yes, I totally agree the field of vision should be restricted to how own property.

...or put up a camera that watches his camera so you can record images of his camera, taken by your camera, looking in the wrong direction.
A-ha, so the watcher becomes the watchee...that's surveillancewang! I like your thinking. - The last bit might not happen but would be cool.
There is no reason for his cameras to overlook anyones property. He is in very dodgy grounds. Cameras are supposed to point into your boundery not out. He should have checked for other suitable positions. Def go with getting your oh to speak to his. It works wonders. If it fails, police and council. In the mean time put up a big board across its view. Sure you could put a nice picture on it or a warning message?
