    If someone, when visiting, secretly installed a hidden video camera in my home (living room) what can I charge him with in Din Torah? (I’m not interested at all in involving any secular authorities or courts.) And even if I don’t take him to Din Torah, what aveiros did he transgress by doing so?

    He can’t spread lashon hara via video. But I don’t think it is assur for someone to record something if he is there in the room with the camera itself. The camera is an extension of his eyes. If he were to record while other people had thought he left the room, that is a big problem.

    Well, I agree it’s a big problem. But that’s exactly what I am asking. By recording from a hidden camera that remained there after everyone left (or so it was thought), specifically, what averios did he transgress?

    See the first few Blatt in Bava Basra.

    Sam, could you please specify which daf/sugya you are referring to? I didn’t see the issue. Or better yet, perferably, please provide here a brief summary of the conclusion and relevant halacha. Yasher Koach

    The Gemara there discusses Hezek Re’iya between neighbors. That refers to the harm, in the form of discomfort, caused to you by the fact that you know that someone is looking. I don’t recall any discussion about any kind of reparation in retrospect, but the discussion there is that the one who has his nose in the other’s property has the responsibility to build a wall high enough that his neighbor can be comfortable.

    Probably there is a payment of Boshes, but that is not enforced by our Batei Dinim.
