    I have thought about getting the other half tattooed and have him sit in a deck-chair with the Tatt exposed as long as I bring out regular brews and he has a podcast to listen to he should be fine!

    how about sign or sticker in your car. as you said it will be filming the front driveway so the car will be the sign. i would have thought covenant would not extend to the car parked on the driveway. 
    you could tell next door it only records when car parked on driveway.hahahahahaha
    or how about a garden gnome in the front with a flag or a sign with it on.hahahahaha

    This ^^^.  If you have a gnome 'fishing', then guess what he's just caught? All this sort of thing.

    Temporary exhibition of modern "sculpture" or "graffiti" on your front lawn. You or your other half could show the results of learning a new hobby.
    You could always run a competition for local artists, students etc. specifiying the inclusion of your notice in the work and exhibit the top 3 entries one after another.
    In the run up to Christmas perhaps you could get one of those illuminated, inflatable snowmen and add your notice to its tum.
    Rename the house to be a QR code that when scanned by a smartphone displays your notice or paint the front door with the code.

    How did they get your email address?

    Maybe a real for sale sign and move.

    Driving across your grass there are solutions for that

    Are you thinking of boulders, or large nails?

    large nails might be more tempting but will make it harder to cut the lawn

    Does a sticker in a window even count as a sign?

    I'd politely tell him you are happy to put signs up but the covenant prevents it so if he wants a sign he will have to challenge the covenant!  Given his nefarious activities I doubt he is going to involve the authorities

    Rename the property 'Attention: You're on CCTV House' and affix large plaques confirming said name to the front wall, gateposts, roof and wherever else you care to place them.  
    Pave over the front garden and drive with pale yellow slabs.  Use darker slabs to create a CCTV camera symbol within it.  
    Install a giant CCTV camera shaped fountain in the front garden.
