  Ursula Lebana recently sold a surveillance camera to a woman who believed a dog was destroying her flower beds.
  
  But after just one day with the small device sitting in her front window, trained on the yard, a different culprit was identified.
  
  'It was her neighbour doing it,' said Ms. Lebana, owner of Toronto-based gadget store SpyTech. 'She couldn't believe it.She thought they were on good terms.'
  
  Over the past two years, Ms. Lebana said, she has noticed a growing number of people visiting her store to buy surveillance equipment so they can catch their neighbours in the act of vandalizing their property, throwing garbage over fences or verbally abusing their family.
  
  'There seems to be an awful lot of bad neighbours out there,' she said. 'They're all going berserk.
  ...
  About 60 per cent of the SpyTech customers who complain about their neighbours live in the suburbs, Ms. Lebana said.She advises them all that surveillance cameras can only be used to monitor their own property.
  
  'Sometimes just putting a camera up is enough to get rid of the neighbour,' she said. 'But you cannot point it next door and watch them coming and going.

  Ursula Lebana, owner and president of Toronto-based Spytech (www.spytech.com) says an inexpensive video capture card can snap into the back of a personal computer and connect up to four cameras, which can be monitored remotely with the bundled software.
  
  "So a mother can sit in her office all day and watch what her babies are doing from her monitor," says Ms. Lebana.
  
  "Or another scenario is a business man who is travelling can now keep an eye on his employees from a laptop and cellphone in the Bahamas!"she laughs.
  
  A video capture card costs about $100 at SpyTech (and less than $400 for one that supports four cameras), which includes the price of the software.Cameras are extra.
  
  "The most expensive part are the computers," says Ms. Lebana.
