Last night, we happened to notice at our neighbor's what looked like a surveillance camera red light pointed directly at our patio and bedroom window. If it is, what can be done?
I have a little black box on my garage which has a little red light. Visitors think it’s a camera. It’s a weather sensor.LOL. When the battery gets low, it starts blinking.
My neighbors have a camera pointed at my property, I have two pointed in their direction but they only focus on my property. Before I installed my cameras, I thought the neighbors had a wider field of vision. They don’t.
Put UV mirror film on your windows. Their camera will pick up their house reflection. When you can see yourself in your windows, it’s time to close the curtains.
With drones and such, we no longer have any privacy. We might as well get used to it. Hopefully nothing ends up on facebook.
My neighborhood was safe until the blue-haired old lady across the street died. The people who moved into the house after are a bunch of loser criminals. Our sheriff’s department have recovered 5 to 7 stolen vehicles from the area, and of course these neighbors know nothing about it. They blast their bass until all hours of the night, let their dogs run loose during the day, and generally annoy the heck out of everyone.
My security cameras face the street, and do aim towards their house. But, it keeps my vehicles in view. They’ve already busted my drivers side mirror off once -before I installed the cameras.
Intentionally damaging someone else’s property is a crime.

Better do some homework - this sounds a lot like "gazing globe" garden ornaments - some even have solar cells built in which power up color-changing internal LEDs at night. My wife had one in one of the flower beds that had a "stained glass" look.
Have a look in the local Home Depot or Lowes garden departments - see anything similar?
Peeping Tom comes to mind. Weather by camera or other means. I would file charges against the SOB.
Now that’s just cruel. LOL!
When my cameras are in night vision mode, the reflections just glow brighter.
The sheriff’s department vehicles look like they’re from a Tron movie when they drive by.
Sounds like you 2 don’t get along.
Cats PO a lot of people especially when the crap in and kill stuff on others property.

for a camera to be worth a dam it would need to be infra red. get infra red lights and flood it, rendering it useless.
Laser pointer
If he’s such a putz as to put up one camera, then he’s enough of a putz to put up a dozen more we don’t know about.
The last time we got the neighbors to move, we got a stinky goat. The stink was too much for us so don’t want to go that route again.
...
As someone else said, you sound like a fun neighbor.
With a lil help from some friends maybe you could get the local news van to show up as well. I have some strange looking vintage electronic equipment I could haul out and ‘point’ at the guys house to ensure complete surveillance.
Hilarious!
So, if he put some retroreflective tape on his window frames, would that be sufficient to swamp the camera from seeing into his house?
What did you do with the goat when you were done with it?
It might. But only when the cameras switch to night vision mode.
“I’ve got cameras up around my house.”
I do to and the neighbors know all about them. In fact I have had neighbors come over and want to look for something at a specific time and so have the police.
They are mainly for my immediate area around my house but they will pick up some of the neighbors across the street for instance. In the back yard they are not pointed at anyone else’s backyard. However the periphery will pick up some of the neighbors house such as the roof area.
Address that to bgill.
