Hello, you see the 2 cameras at the top seeing all the way to the house and balconies of neighbours. His door is seen at the bottom right. Shouldn't the cameras only see the entrance? What can I do about it? He even sends pictures to neighbours showing people approaching his house and asking the reason because these cameras are sensitive to motion with night vision. Can you help me please? One option is to use ir or blue lasers to destroy the camera. The other is to go to municipality but he can evade it saying "I use them for my house personally". Obviously it is a lie as the cameras see everywhere except his house.

Check your local laws related to surveillance / wire tapping.

Security cameras set up to watch things external / public are often times called out as a violation.

That said it’s hard to enforce without cause / proof something bad is happening.

Depends where. In most European places, they'd get taken down immediately. Elsewhere, ymmv.
