There is a peephole currently fitted, but view is not good.
I know there will be privacy issues etc but quite frankly at this point I don't really care and feel can't rely on police etc.
I would rather have peephole because feel one mounted externally might even bring more trouble. I think too would prefer not to hear what they're saying(although you can hear anyway now).
This is the current security light and door knocker/peephole we have but view isn't good.
If I know congregated there I prefer to wait until gone and don't want my kids smelling that.
Thanks

The possession law for Mary Jane is not worth the effort of the Police turning up. You need to consider that if you have the camera, then any incident that causes them trouble will instantly create a problem for you, even if you didn't make the call.
You could try a diplomatic approach and ask them to at least open the window, or go into their own flat.
What are you expecting to do with any video footage? If it is just to know if it's all clear, then as you said, you can hear them."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52627484","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"oldcodger"},"datePublished":"2024-04-23T10:55:54.000Z","text":"Get a Eufy wired doobell, not the lateest model nor the dual camera, ( software isues ) you will get great recording motion activated, and there is no privacy issue ( I know, had a pratt of a neighbour who moaned but got told this,, ) it is a public lobby/hallway, so therefore no one has any expectation of privacy."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52627563","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Yolofknell"},"datePublished":"2024-04-23T11:09:06.000Z","text":"Don't want to sound negative but......
If you have a camera or you saying anything even politely, there are those that will always take it the wrong way, there are many more people like this nowadays unfortunately.
You will always be blamed if you say something or the police turn up even if you had nothing to do with it. I would say that you have 3 options.
1. Keep quiet and live with it.
2. Keep a record of all that happens and report to council/housing association/police/managed building (depends on your living circumstances which you choose). Be prepared for retaliation though.
3. If possible, move.
This is just my personal opinion though. Someone may have other better options for you."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52627732","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"TristanDeCoonha"},"datePublished":"2024-04-23T11:43:34.000Z","text":"Can you install one of the automatic air fresheners, as found in toilets, above your front door to face the hallway?
