In Estonia it’s legal to have it film the public ground if you have signs making it clear
On the one hand it’s useful to have cameras that show the street. On the other hand, when you post signage like that it kinda says “I have shit worth guarding”

In Germany, you have to limit the camera to your public ground, due to private reasons

We don’t have any expectation of privacy in the US. You can place cameras anywhere you like on your property and can film anything in public.
Unfortunately we have to make our own privacy here (by closing the shades, etc.)
