    Its your property... you can take pictures of what happens on it. The law isn't so clear or forgiving if you where taking pictures of anothers property from yours however. Laws vary, what state and country would this be in?

    Video would be better. If you are going to file a complaint, proof always helps.

    CurleyBen is in the UK... (Great Britain)

    I'm in Virginia. I'm not aware of a North Carolina law prohibiting it. But you can generally position security cameras that record anything that occurs on your own property without problem. The problems occur when they are positioned where they may see through the windows or doors of another residence. If you are talking a hand held camera... there is no presumed right of privacy on the property of another or in a public location.

    I will agree video will be better, since a photograph does not really tell a story, were they invited, come over to chase a cat or what.

    With a video you have more details as to what they did .

    Also how are they coming on property, are they walking up sidewalk and knocking on your door, or jumping a fence and going into the back yard

    And stop starting new threads on same question,

    Also give more detail as to why and what is happening.

    Have you posted any signs that say no tresspassing
    Have you told them they can not come on to your property
    Has the police ever been called about it

    I don't think we need to anything more to answer the question, other than perhaps why OP is asking this weird question. Did someone tell OP that photographing someone coming on his/her property needs that someone's permission? If so, I think that someone was pulling his/her leg.
