Whats my rights with cctv - UK

Guidelines V law. very different .But here is another side to think about .Ask them to show you the cameras display as they might be shallow angle types rather than super wide etc /So might not worry you that much. The other benefit is one day you might want their recordings if anything happens !

Fully agree with this. My cameras cover part of my neighbours drive. Just enough to see if anyone breaks into their car.

And yes, the viewing angle of cameras can vary hugely.

Get them to show you the live feed so you can see exactly what is covered.

My cameras cover some shared access and some of the neighbors drives.
nobody has an issue with them.
in fact the requests for footage of events have always been sorted swiftly and normally end with a 4 pack of beer being sent my way.

i would have no issue with somones camera covering my drive too or front of house as you cannot expect privacy , however the camera in question is a ptz dome and isnt actually pointing into my garden yet, but it can, and it does move and it would be completely intrusive and see my whole private garden and actually into my childrens bedroom if it turned.

My garden is private and completly fenced off, this camera is 4ft above the fence at the bottom of the garden and as i say its a ptz and could look at will, into our garden and bedroom.

so in my view complete invasion of privacy if it was to rotate? which is just a matter of time.

I'd still speak to your neighbour. A friendly chat is better than seeking possible legal advice over something which may not turn out to be an issue, but could lead to spoiling a good neighbourly relationship.

Depending on the camera type .It is possible to create areas of a image that will not show anything . So if they cover a building .Certain window areas can be ""blanked off" from been recorded
