The facts

The complainant reported that his neighbour's CCTV cameras might be directed at his premises and that light emitted from the cameras at night shone towards his windows, causing disturbance. The Police found the two disputed cameras captured images only inside the respondent's yard, with masking on the DVR preventing any capture of the complainant's house.

Orders and outcome

The Commissioner found the enquiry disclosed no offence under the DPA and closed it to the satisfaction of all parties.
