New Jersey law allows neighbors to use security cameras with privacy limitations

In New Jersey, neighbors can generally record each other with security cameras, but there are exceptions. Cameras cannot be placed in areas where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy, such as bathrooms or bedrooms. New Jersey is a "one-party consent" state for audio recordings, meaning only one person needs to agree to the recording. However, it is illegal to record private conversations without being involved. Violating these laws can lead to criminal charges. New Jersey law classifies the intentional interception of communications as a third-degree crime.
