Original title: The smart door lock with camera was sued by a neighbor

Zhang and Sun are neighbors. The two entrance doors are at right angles. Zhang must pass in front of Sun. One day, Zhang found that his neighbor had replaced the smart door lock with a camera. He thought it violated his privacy, so he sued Sun to the court to remove the smart door lock. Sun proposed that the Anxin door lock is to protect their own security and prevent the loss of express delivery. Subjectively, there is no idea of peeping or infringing on the privacy of neighbors.

After the trial, the court held that although the camera on Sun's electronic lock did not directly take pictures of his neighbor Zhang's family, the shooting scope included the public walkway in front of the door. Compared with the social public space, the people who used the walkway were more specific. Normally, there were only Zhang's and Sun's families. Sun's electronic lock camera recorded and stored personal information that his neighbor did not want to be known to others, which threatened and violated the right to privacy, and he was sentenced to remove the door lock. At present, the judgment has come into force. (CCTV reporter Ji Chenghai and Wei Bangjun)
