A local Hamilton man has been ordered by the city to take down his security cameras that he has on the outside of his house, despite his claim that his footage has been useful in crime investigations.

Dan Myles says he has 10 security cameras outside his home on MacNab Street North in downtown Hamilton, and he says he needs them.

regarding the first point, to be fair, there is an expectation of privacy in your own home (and maybe on your own property), which cameras like this could violate

    Not if you are in plain public view

    Cameras cannot point into your windows. and no audio is legal without consent.

    This guys cameras show the street but they aren't pointed in Windows, if they want to enforce this they have to have every Ring doorbell can removed, because those typically point directly across the street. I totally agree on the audio part
