They have ruled the red light cameras illegal in some cities yet security cameras can be used outside buildings. Both seem the same to me. Is it a matter of private property vs. city property. If so the red light camera companies could just lease the land they're installed on.
Answer
Red light cameras and security cameras are fundamentally different. Both record images. The difference is in what was being done with them.
Red light cameras have been removed in many American cities because they stretch the bounds of law enforcement beyond what is legal. The photos were used to fine car owners who had no opportunity to contest the penalty. Cities tried to get around it by claiming that it was not a criminal charge, just a citation, but that didn't fly, so the idea was scrapped for the time being. They're now working on ways to restore them to legal status in the future.
Surveillance cameras under the control of private citizens can be used illegally as well, but typical security use for monitoring private property and the public spaces beyond is legal.

Are security lights or cameras legal in my area?

I live in West Palm Beach, Florida. In a residential suburban neighborhood. It is a nice neighborhood full of properties that exceed $200,000-300,000 values. But there is still crime. I am an overly cautious person and believe in protecting myself and my family to the fullest of my ability. But a neighbor was complaining and pressing the legality of the security and motion activated lights, and when I mentioned putting up security cameras, well, she threw a fit. I thought I may give this a try before calling the local police department and asking them. So, is it legal, in my area, to have security lights or cameras on my property?
Answer
Cameras and lights intended to be used for security purposes are legal everywhere in the world.
