this might be a better idea for you and it is not classed as cctv in Ireland.

wrong again. CCTV does need PP in Ireland including the securelight.

Permission required to point a camera at a public place?

 

Really?

 

Wow...

Oh yes, and for other areas, like schools, offices, factories where people work there is another law that regulates how personal data is handled, only applicable though if you store as digital images. On tape there are no problems at such places. We are held at a short leash in Sweden

 

I'm just gobsmacked by that.

perrywinkle. then i better get my guys out to take cameras down. the law is only in a public space and not your own garden. you DO NOT need it to watch your own car.

Thanks for reply

 

One option is to put a polarized filter on the camera and adjust it to eliminated light reflected off of the inside of the window

. How would i do that

 

Circularly polarized filters are available from camera stores. If you choose a camera with a lense which is threaded to accept filters, you're in luck, Otherwise what I have done is kludged together a method of mounting the filter to the camera lense. I have had to use duct tape (the real stuff, plastic substrate, water/heat resistant adhesive, not fabric tape) to attach a filter to a camera. It's important to keep the area between the back of the filter and the original outermost camera lense light-tight, or you'll have light contamination from the inside of the filter as well to compound your problems

 

I'm guessing that your mounting location is necessary because you have CC&R's which require approval before installing items like exterior cameras.

because pp is needed outside

 

Understood. It's important to keep in mind that this forum is very much worldwide, and regulations differ from country to country. In meeting and talking with colleagues worldwide, what is considered routinely acceptable in the United States is sometimes severely prohibited in others, and may subject violators to very serious consequences .
