In the US, anyway[0], yes it is. You do not have any reasonable expectation of privacy when you're on a street, sidewalk, or yard (whether it's your yard or not).
[0] Every state is different; this is to say there is no national law prohibiting it (I'm not sure the federal government has jurisdiction for this kind of thing), and to my knowledge no state has a law explicitly prohibiting having a personally owned camera facing a public area like this.
