A: You can simply ask they to change the angle. At issue is whether the camera use is an improper invasion of your privacy. While an attorney would need to review all the specifics, there is nothing improper with a private party pointing a camera at the front of someone's home. This can be less clear if the camera has the ability to view beyond what a normal passerby on the street could see. Colorado and the US have very weak privacy laws (esp. compared to continental Europe).
