    Please be aware that if you intend to use a recording as evidence then you have to put signs up to make criminals aware that you are recording them. A friend recorded a thief breaking into their car but as they hadn't put notices up then the police would do nothing about it. Something about infringing their privacy.

    i think that putting a sign up could make your house a target though. I mean people trying to break the cameras etc.

    I believe its anywhere. My friends were recording on their private driveway and the police wouldn't use the recording as evidence as no signs were present. Then again laws change all the time so maybe worth checking out.

    Not if you use cameras that aren't obvious. We have a non-recording camera over our front door, a) to keep an eye on the car and b) so when the doorbell goes I can see who is there and decide if I want to answer it or not :rotfl:
