Another good and cheap way for a camera is a Raspberry Pi Zero W with a small camera and this installed on it:

You can set it up to email you photos, videos, upload to the cloud, ftp, etc - total cost for a complete camera with be around $50.00. It's the cheapest full wifi IP camera you can do - parts I've used:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071L2ZQZX/
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LH10HYE/
You can fit the whole thing inside the case provided by the Canakit - just use the one -without- the camera hole (it doesn't fit that camera) - and drill your own hole. Hot glue the camera in place. You'll have to come up with your own solution for a mount (I ended up drilling a hole in the back case, putting a 1/4-20 thin-pan-head screw in and a standard camera mount).
Or get a a bigger case for the whole unit - a cheap decoy camera can make a great custom case:

https://www.amazon.com/Security-Surveillance-Realistic-Recording-Warning/dp/B01HDZM66K/
Those are actual cases that are used by "cheap" security camera makers, just with false parts and a blinking LED added. So they are easy to repurpose for custom security cameras made with RasPi components. Also, the larger cases allow you to stick something bigger than a Pi Zero inside - a full Raspberry Pi 3 or 4 could be fitted in there, plus a larger (more pixels) camera module if you wanted it (plus anything else you could think of - IR illumination, temperature and humidity sensors, etc).
The only thing cheaper than a RasPi security camera system like this would be the ESP32 camera modules:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QS7VFMJ/
But they aren't as easy to set up and use; software is still a very-much hands-on experience (if you know Python, though - they can fun little units). You'll have to come up with your own enclosure, too. But if experimentation is up your alley, they are the absolute cheapest option for an wifi IP camera.

Title: Crappy neighbor thinks my fake cameras are an invasion of privacy...
Original Post:
> I have a crappy neighbor, who used to have a noisy goat (illegal where we live) and two noisy little dogs. I bought two fake security camera's off Amazon and put them up between our houses. Good news is she got rid of the illegal goat, and the noisy dogs have been kept inside every since I put the cameras up. Bad news is she had her lawyer draw up a cease and desist letter claiming that the cameras violate her privacy. She thinks the cameras are recording her every move, but in reality, the are recording nothing - they are fake. If the fake cameras are not recording anything (but she thinks they are) am I in any possible legal trouble?

Put these on the ceiling. Fake security cameras. When mounted to the ceiling they cannot cover them with a towel or anything.
