Can I get it removed? I believe the cameras were set up for security but where we live it's totally OTT. Another camera points at my front driveway (annoying but not so much of an issue). Before you ask - neighbour is totally unreasonable and will not communicate. I really need some sort of legal ruling, I think.

My neighbour has installed several CCTV cameras. One points into my back garden.

Many people are installing CCTV in their properties as a home security measure as it has proved to be an effective tool in fighting crime. If the camera is recording you in your home, a place where you would expect to have total privacy then there could be an issue with regards to invasion of privacy.
Firstly, it would be advisable to speak to your neighbour to see if it is possible to move the camera so that it does not point at your property. If this is not possible and you want to take further action you would need to seek legal advice from a solicitor.This means that if a CCTV camera mounted in your neighbour's property is overlooking your land, it is unlikely that they will be breaching the Data Protection Act. However, they may be breaching other legislation such as the law about harassment or voyeurism, and so may be subject to investigation by another body, such as the police.

yes you may be able to get some help with this via the local council, the person who places a CCTV gang on there property can film what they like as long as this does not prove to be an intrusion onto other property, its a bit of an grey area, but if your home is being filmed then to a legal point it may count as intrusion since the camera could be angled in a way that does not film your home or your private actions if the system has night optics then it can in theory see at night or even into your windows.
the level of angle view, and the ability to monitor would depend on the focal range and the aperture size, because you can see a lense it does not mean that the viewing angle is so wide, it would also depend how far away that the lense is from the object unless there is a zoom.

I think I'd be asking the police about this one. Sounds like an invasion of your privacy to me and at best, very, very strange.
Are you sure they are 'loaded' however? I'm about to instal a dummy one on my front to attempt to stop the b*gger who's allowing their dog to leave deposits (large ones) on my unfenced bit of grass out there.
