Whilst this sounds interesting.. Is one allowed to place things like cameras and radar over looking public spaces? I'm reasonably sure that CCTV is only allowed to cover ones own property. Or have missed something here?

I'm assuming no images are saved or relayed, and therefore no personal data is stored. You don't have to sign permission for the traffic observation cameras in tunnels or for speedtraps either. Obviously, there are industrial solutions for this already, but it is a neat diy project. In the use case depicted, however, I personally would be prone to just looking out the window. ... Maybe it hooks into the smarthome and Maker gets to sleep 10 minutes longer on days when there is less traffic?

Thanks for the reply. That would make sense regarding the images.

As you say, its a neat project, but probably of little use in reality.

This is timely. Our NGO is looking for a solution to monitor movement for smart city carbon credit holders.
