2. The law wouldn't require one. But you may want one anyway

(Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer. I could easily be wrong about the law, especially in a state I don't live in.)

Anyway, putting a camera up doesn't require a sign. Even if it manages to get a glimpse of your neighbor's property. The camera is allowed to record anything you can see when you're standing somewhere you can legally stand. Don't point it in the neighbor's windows, but if it sees their yard you're still OK.

But if one of your goals with the camera is to deter theft, you may want a sign anyway. The sign is a better deterrent than the actual camera, which is the main reason that the signs are put up.

If theft deterrent wasn't one of your goals with the camera, then I would recommend not bothering.
