Residential security cameras are legal in Broward County without a permit. Florida allows recording video in areas without a reasonable expectation of privacy. Florida is a two-party consent state for audio recording of private conversations.
Florida law permits residential security cameras without a permit. Video recording of your property and publicly visible areas is legal. Florida Statute §810.145 (Video Voyeurism) prohibits recording in locations where a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy. Florida is a two-party (all-party) consent state for audio recording under §934.03 — all parties to a private oral communication must consent to recording. This means outdoor cameras that capture audio of private conversations without consent could create legal liability. Many residents use video-only mode or post conspicuous notice of recording. Several Broward County municipalities participate in camera registration programs with local police departments to assist in crime investigations.
Video voyeurism under §810.145 is a first-degree misdemeanor (up to 1 year jail, $1,000 fine). Illegal audio recording under §934.03 is a third-degree felony (up to 5 years prison, $5,000 fine).
