There is a disturbing number of people that believe that there is a wide spread cabal that is collecting children and sacrificing them in order to drink their blood. An even larger group believes that children are being exploited for pornographic reasons. The neighbor seeing small children arriving on a daily basis might very well believe that something sinister is going on. As to filming you while you are machining, he may find the noise objectionable and filming to record the noise. A milling machine can get very loud at times. My air compressor is deafening.
My nearest neighbor is more than a quarter of a mile away and I can only see his lights when the the trees are bare of leaves. The largest impact comes from noise like a chainsaw or gunfire. We are pretty much a live and let live community so we are OK with occasional disturbances. Things could be much different if the neighbors were only a few hundred feet away though.
Unless there were extenuating circumstances, I would be inclined to approach the neighbor and ask if there was a reason for his behavior. Depending on his response, then I would consider necessary further action. Although someone can film on a public street, Observing the goings on in someone else's home is an invasion of privacy, whether they are standing outside the window or across the street. I would think using a bright light to peer inside one's home is a clear indication of a peeping Tom.
