Boulder City, NV Privacy & Surveillance: Security Camera Rules (2026)

In unincorporated Clark County, homeowners and businesses may freely install security cameras on their own property. Video-only surveillance of publicly visible areas — driveways, front yards, building exteriors — is legal without restrictions. Nevada is a one-party consent state for in-person conversations under NRS 200.620, meaning you can record a conversation if you are a participant without informing the other party. However, NRS 200.650 prohibits recording telephone conversations without the consent of all parties (making Nevada a two-party consent state for phone calls specifically). For security cameras with audio: recording conversations you participate in is legal, but recording other people's private conversations (to which you are not a party) without their consent may violate NRS 200.620. NRS 200.604 prohibits capturing images of another person in a location where they have a reasonable expectation of privacy — this includes bathrooms, bedrooms, changing areas, and areas screened by fences or enclosures. Cameras should not be aimed into neighboring windows or fenced backyards. Clark County does not have additional local regulations beyond state law for residential security cameras. Commercial establishments may have additional obligations under NRS regarding employee notification.
