How to block/disable camera from viewing me?
Some of you may remember me from this past May. I posted about a neighbor filming into my yard. Well he kept filming until we finally got our privacy fence up and covered all the spaces between the boards as per our lawyer's instructions. He also told me to put something at the bottom to keep him from trying to look under which my husband refused to do (esthetics I think). Sure enough, on several occasions I have seen this freak on his hands and knees looking under my privacy fence. Needless to say I will be putting something along the entire bottom of the fence in the very near future.
I don't know why this idiot is so obsessed with us. We've lived here 25 years and never had incident with any other neighbors. We're quiet, mind our own business and keep to ourselves.
Ok now for the best part. As of the past several weeks the neighor from hell has put up a birdhouse near his house and has two hidden wireless pinhole cameras installed in it. I am 100% positive about the wireless pinhole cameras. They look like something you'd pick up on ebay for real cheap and this guy is a super tight wad so I doubt he spent much money on them. I've tried to intercept the broadcast so I can prove he is filming over here but so far haven't been successful. (I don't know what frequency he's on. I have an 8 channel 2.4 ghz receiver but can't get a signal from him) He did run four seperate metal wires from the birdhouse area/fence he has it mounted to and then over to various parts of the yard attached to either the garage or house We think he's trying to make EMF so he can disrupt the signal from getting out.
Ok so what do I do? The location of the camera has a bird's eye view (literally) into my back door and kitchen window and also my gate which means I can't ever get into my own back yard without that idiot knowing. I wanted to build something to stick on top of the fence about 2 feet high but city regulations say fence can only be 6 feet in height and Mr. Moron has the city on speed dial. This means that we will have to build something else and have it be away from the fence and it has to cover at least a 16 foot span. We went to great lengths and expense to ensure we have a "reasonable expectation to privacy" and I'm fed up with this arsehole invading said privacy. Not to mention how badly we were harassed during the fence process. He tried everything imaginable to stop us from putting it up.
I need some serious suggestions guys. Is it laser time and if so how does one go about doing that? Are there any other types of light I could use and are they effective during the day etc? I am ready to lose it over here, this man has pushed me to the brink. I am home most of the time and am partially disabled and have literally become a prisoner in my own home because of him. Now I am forced to either keep my blinds and door closed 365 or stay out of the kitchen and possibly the bathroom if he decides to try and turn those other cameras back over here.
Help!!!
p.s. Whatever I put up to block him I have to look at as well so we're having a hard time deciding what to even try in that department. (most likely it's not going to be pretty)
Wow I never knew I had replies. I have it set to notify me but I never got any notifications.
Regarding my neighbor... He put us through hell but good for almost ten years and then he died. I felt bad of course, even after all the rotten things he did to us. He was one of the most miserable people I have ever had the misfortune of knowing. I believe he was a sociopath and I don't say that lightly. After the birdhouse cam, we built a large trellis and covered it with plants and even put a planter box on top, just for extra measure. The birdhouse cam came down several weeks later. Not to worry though, he was always building a better mousetrap. He would spend days on end in his garage/evil laboratory coming up with new ways to eff with us. He even went so far as to install two mirrors on the privacy fence by his patio so he could stand there and see into my yard. I am talking two huge rectangular mirrors from a bedroom dresser. I kid you not. I think one of his buddies shamed him into taking them down. It was absolutely ridiculous and quite obvious what he was doing. After that he resorted to putting one of those tracking cameras directly on the back of his garage aiming into my yard. Anything would set it off too, rats, possums, raccoons, shadows from trees, blowing leaves, the sun, etc. Once he came home from my guess is the liquor store at night and it was triggered and he actually came staggering back there with a gun. Yes, apparently he thought shooting us was a good idea. He landed in the mental hospital shortly after that. I don't miss him at all but when I think about it all, it's quite sad. What a waste of a life. I don't know that I will ever get over the invasion of my privacy for those 10 years. It really messes with your head. This is what he installed on the back of the garage. He was obsessed with us and he was insane. They make one now with wifi. Thank God that wasn't widely available back then. Oh I forgot to mention the drone... yes he tried to use a spy drone on us too. https://www.bigeasysecurity.com/collections/motion-sensing-security-lights/products/nightwatcher-robotic-security-light-with-camera?
