Can I put up cameras on my multi-family rental property?

[Bre'Anna Tinsley]

I have recently purchased a triplex in Michigan and will be living in one of the units. I am wondering if it is legal to put up cameras on the exterior of the home. I would not have cameras inside any units or in any entryways to the units.

Also, add in motion sensor lights and/or dusk to dawn lights.  Dusk to dawn on traffic area( front yard) and entry points. and Motion sensors on non-traffic (backyard and between houses where there is no door/driveway).

In case the wires in steel so they can't be cut easily.  Also, put a camera on the sidewalk infront of your house and any entry point.

This will cost you maybe $1500 with 30 day DVR backup.  You will make your money back in tenant quality, and lazy criminals trying someone else's property.
