With tons of affordable security cameras on the market, home security cameras are only getting more commonplace. This raises all kinds of questions about privacy. Remember that the law permits people to record anything outside as long as it's a "public space." But you do have a right to privacy and to expect that your nosy neighbor won't point a home security camera at your home to watch you. Most cameras have a light on the front that is on when the camera records. However, this can be turned off. Just keep an eye out for suspicious activity.
