Security cameras are legal on private property in Clark County. Nevada is a one-party consent state for in-person audio recording (NRS 200.620), meaning you can record conversations you are part of. Video surveillance in areas visible to the public is generally legal. Cameras must not record areas where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy (NRS 200.604).
In unincorporated Clark County, homeowners and businesses may freely install security cameras on their own property. Video-only surveillance of publicly visible areas β driveways, front yards, building exteriors β 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 β 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.
Violating NRS 200.604 (recording in private areas) is a Category D felony punishable by 1β4 years in prison and up to $5,000 fine. Illegal recording of phone conversations (NRS 200.620/650) is a felony with similar penalties. Civil liability for invasion of privacy is also available to victims.
