I must say that it makes me uncomfortable that you as a private citizen have a movie camera outside your home, and that you treat this like a tv by sitting around watching and listening to what goes on.  
 
Yes, I know that security is important. But so is my privacy. If I was your neighbour and knew about the camera, I can arrure you that I would do all I could to have you charged with invasion of privacy. Failing that, the camera would be broken a lot.  
 
Its bad enough that I am photographed every time I use an ATM, or enter a bank, or walk through the mall. There are now cameras watching as I drive through town (weather cams), people quietly using camera phones to catch whatever they want, and perverts filming up the skirts of people I know.  
 
Really now. These damn things are getting out of control!  
 
In London England, I have heard that the average walk for a few blocks downtown results in hundreds of cameras being trained on you.
