Question
Shalom and blessings!
Before the entrance to my home, my neighbor has a doorbell with a camera, and every time I enter the house the camera turns on.
The neighbor, of course, is not willing to turn it off for Shabbat, and I have no interest in this at all, and the camera light is of no use to me; moreover, it is not possible for me to pass without going in front of the camera.
Am I allowed to enter my home on Shabbat?

Answer

You are permitted to pass there; you have no interest in its activation, and you are occupied with entering the house and not with turning on the camera.
