I don't know about the legalities of your question, so I'm just guessing here. My guess is that it would be OK to put security cameras up as long as they don't capture window areas of the home---just front and back doors only, and the general yard area. Your idea is a good one, to both protect your property, and your tenants. But the scenario is different, than outside security cameras that a large apartment complex may have. You should point out the cameras and what areas they capture, on a prospective tenant's FIRST visit to the property. In fact, I think you should even put it in your ads, such as " outside security cameras on site " That way ANYONE who does not like your cameras being there, do not have to rent from you, nor would they even need to call you for a showing. You should NOT wait to inform tenants till the lease signing, as that could blow up in your face. Cameras can be an amenity or a deterrent to renting a property, depending on how each individual person views security cameras.

You don't know about the legalities of the question and are just guessing here. Then why would you answer the question with an opinion can can get the landlord in trouble for improper or illegal camera installation? Even if you respond to 55% of the post, your opinions are either 99% wrong, lectures, misinformation or just plain B.S. If you have no actual information to share, please do not cloud up the forum with dribble! Thank you.
