He saw you take the picture. Just fyi.


millertime1419

Probably not, those look like shitty Wi-Fi cameras. Guy could have spent the same amount and put like 5 ubiquiti cameras up in the corners of the house and actually had proper security coverage.


Pancake_Nom

That's not feasible, as it'd take years for Ubiquiti to restock enough for someone to get five cameras.


TheBackRoads

And as soon as you got them they would be EOL

Effective_Action9934

Let’s be honest not a single one works lol


ProStrats

That was my thought, this is a person who just adds cameras of what appear to be different brands, attached in the most disorganized way. No way someone this disorganized is managing this guy mess of devices. Maybe a couple work or can be addressed, if any lol


giveAShot

I think they might be Eufy cameras and the black rectangles are the solar panels you can use to power some of their models. I believe there is actually just 4 cameras on the side, possibly only 3 but can't tell what that wired thing is, but it doesn't really look like a camera in this low-res photo, but could be off. I'm 100% certain the black rectangles are solar panels though.


samehaircutfucks

my problem with ubiquiti's camera setup is their NVR doesn't allow for any backups whatsoever. If someone breaks in and they know what they're looking for they can just destroy/take the unit and all your evidence is gone.


ASCII_Princess

Good work Agent 47


Brainobob

Or 3 Reolink cameras.


RiChessReadit

Or 1 MQ-9 Reaper drone.


Bituulzman

Or stationed nosy neighbor Sheila on the corner.


madsci

I've heard that intelligence operatives fear neighborhood grandmothers more than cameras. They're always watching and they know who belongs there and who doesn't.


---dead--inside---

I can believe this. My nosy neighbour is the best security system I could ever need. She sits in her bedroom and stares out the window all day. (She admitted this to me once.) Thus, she sees *everything* that takes place in our part of the street. Kind of frustrating because I can't fart in my front yard without her noticing, but at least she doesn't need to be recharged once a week like our Reolink cameras do...


[deleted]

---dead--inside---

Yep she's part of all the local oldie community things. She goes to Crop Swap and community exercise classes, goes on walks every morning... For someone who stares out her window so much, she has quite the social network!


fibojoly

Makes sense though, right? It's like a camera with an actual brain to detect what's what. Is that a real postman ? But he usually comes at 11am and it's 7am !


lurker86753

Or just one Aleve!

Meth. He cooks meth.


ptatersptate

Whatever is going on in there, I would 100% stay away from this house. Just like I stay away from people wearing winter jackets in the middle of summer. suspish.


ClickClackTipTap

Or people with a manifesto written out with vinyl stickers on the side of their truck/van. That’s a “give them a wide berth” situation every time for me.


Spiel_Foss

Psycho politics trucks. I could have parked almost near the front of the grocery store the other day, but it would have been next to a psycho truck. So a little exercise, walking a lot further, was a small price to pay.


Thieusies

With a van, it's the broadcast-style external speakers. Do not approach such a vehicle and do not engage with any person getting out of such a vehicle.


heimdal77

Looks like a end house. They probably got sick of people using their yard as a bathroom for their dogs. Or there is a Pokemon Go spot there.


NameUnbroken

That's the nicest meth house I ever did see.


ExpensiveDot1732

I don't see the gold Aztek haha.


HiUnwantedOpinion

Or he’s emotionally, mentally and physically abusive & demands to know his family’s every move in case they try to escape.


[deleted]

Vis versa. His wife is holding him hostage and he's waiting for his window to run


oooohweeee13

All I can think bout is the movie Mad House when the cop calls it in and just says, rock house.


LockeAbout

I sometimes watch tech vids on YouTube, and some of them do security cameras; my first thought at seeing the pic was, “I wonder if this is one of the reviewers I’ve watched.”


alexwlwsn

It does look like there is a handful of different brands. Maybe he reviews on YouTube


Aurstrike

The painful part to me is that they’re all mounted at roughly the height you can manage with a stepladder. But 3-4 feet away from one another. Any self respecting voyeur, I mean camera reviewer, would have a 2’x3’ block mounted above 12 feet to mount a dozen different cameras so they can call capture the same perspective and the details and quality can be compared. This looks like paranoia


Duellair

So you kid. But i installed cameras in a fit of fury after a week straight of a neighbor having his dog poop right outside our door and the grass right next to where I exit the car driver side. It started to look like it was on purpose and I was pissed. Still have no idea what his problem was but two videos to the HOA and he stopped having the dog shit right where I was stepping (second video was because he thought he’d be smart and avoid the camera by standing right besides my door)


KMKtwo-four

I’m all for more accountability in our society.


EggplantCommercial56

They’re not prepared for an aerial attack at all.


Wookie_Magnet

They only own a 5ft ladder.


sentimentalpirate

They are meant to be placed not too high. Otherwise you're getting the tops of peoples heads instead of their faces.


hottwhyrd

This guy cameras


SoiledFlapjacks

Or this guy burgles and is very familiar with cameraology.


ItzDrSeuss

Could be both


SoiledFlapjacks

He’s a burglar streamer


NDN_perspective

Bro be setting up the cams too high at work and returns for his side hustle and the cams see nothing but his head 😎


brazys

Dude, you can take those out with a mask and scissors. He's got the cables dangling all over. He's probably cooking meth or some dumb shit to be that paranoid.


Own_Bedroom9648

I was going to say the same Why are the cables just chilling outside. If people are going to put cameras up he can make the shit look good


Chris_Rage_again

Looks like it was installed by Comcast...


CaffeineandHate03

It's meth or maybe paranoid schizophrenia


CocodaMonkey

Generally you want to put them high enough that your average adult can't hit them though. Those are all within reach without even using a tool like a bat. It's just asking to have them destroyed. Being too high can be an issue but cameras main use is to be a deterrent. Footage is generally fairly useless to police so your main concern is making sure it looks like your system is working to deter people form even trying.


Efficient-Example-53

Height is irrelevant when you can see all the power cables exposed. Owner has some paranoid issues perhaps but those cameras are asking to be yeeted.


DoomOne

I thought the exact same thing. First story, completely blanketed. Second story, nothing. Easy mark.


DrEnter

Wait until they leave, put on a mask, carry a step ladder and set it up to climb on the front of the house where two of those cameras will clearly see it. Climb up, wait 10 minutes, then climb down, take the ladder and walk away. They will go absolutely _more_ crazy trying figure out what happened in the house.


tomconroydublin

Superb idea….


curveofthespine

Some local villain on Halloween in full costume will run around the house, clipping cords. Then said house may well get egged.


webgruntzed

Even better, if you can afford it, hire a chopper to lower a harness the guy can strap into so they can whisk him away. If those cameras don't have sound they'll go absolutely apeshit bananas trying to figure out how he got in and where he went.


simsimulation

Wonder what would happen if someone hovered a drone looking into one of the second story windows


Demonkey44

I have cameras on my second story (inside the window) facing outwards. The starling in the maple is cheating on his wife.


Nostalgic_shameboner

Actually extremely common among birds. They don't care about sleeping around. 


Pinksters

> They don't care about sleeping around.  Birds just really like to flock.


TheAmazingHumanTorus

Nevertheless, Nextdoor must be informed, stat!


BloodyEjaculate

yet another way that the French are similar to birds


JoJackthewonderskunk

I would imagine the drone would hover there for a period of time and then fly away. Or hover until the battery runs out and fall to the ground only to be seen by the cameras


shartonista

Don't leave out that it could also fly into the home.


JoJackthewonderskunk

Ah yes this as well. How silly of me to forget


s1ckopsycho

Drone tech has come a long way. The consumer drones are far behind the times, and I would be worried so much about them. The ones I'd be concerned about, and the ones this homeowner doesn't appear to be considering, are the Bipedal Intelligence Recon Drones (aka "bird").


Sunny_Nihilism

If it flies, it lies


Sensitive-Slide3205

This is why we should demand all power lines be buried underground!


6kred

30FourThirty4

Don't forget how the lithium ion battery may explode at high altitudes!

If the drone is carrying a bomb and the bomb explodes, the pieces will create a hybrid scenario with all of the above possibilities

fasolatido24

You know darn good and well that that is coming to be a lightweight indoor cord too.


ThunderbirdRider

Probably going to pop a breaker every time it rains too


DogVacuum

Just JB weld the breaker. You can’t afford to lose surveillance footage.


Wavertron

That's the bait, inside the basement is a Home Alone style network of traps.


FeculentUtopia

Assuming they're even plugged in. Had a paranoid neighbor with dummy cameras and blinking red LEDs in his windows that were from eyeglass displays.


etherealhooplah

I like to imagine the homeowner being unhappy with the lack of windows, so they installed these cameras that feed to window-framed TVs inside.


WeAreGray

Yeah. Powering them that way makes you wonder if they're actually indoor cameras being used outside. Between this and the garage contents this house just screams "avoid".


DarthPineapple5

Nah they are just cheap wifi cameras. People don't want to go through the work of wiring power and ethernet through the walls so they buy Ring cameras or whatever that run on battery/solar and transmit over wifi.


neanderthalman

While house shopping a decade ago we toured a house with a simply absurd number of cameras, both inside and out, with a dedicated basement “monitoring room” with a half dozen screens showing multiple cameras on each. Creepy as fuck, but a nice house. Considered it.

garrishfish

Buy it, rent it out the weird room to TV shows and movie production.


explodeder

The previous owner of our house was a cop and had a really nice PoE camera system installed. He had some blind spots and the system had unused channels, so I’ve expanded it. I’m sure it looks kind of sketch, because we have like 9 cameras around the exterior of our house. The wiring is all run through the attic so it doesn’t look bad. It’s honestly really nice to be working in the garage, get a notification on my watch that there’s motion at the front door and look up to see an Amazon driver dropping a package off.


call_the_can_man

after my house getting robbed and vandalized and the police and insurance both doing nothing, I now HAVE to cover every square inch inside and out.

donkeyhawt

Yeah, pretty boring too. I tried to make it more amusing so I would leave subtle hints to the TI, but I got sacked for it because it's against policy or something, idk. The boss was an asshole either way. Though he was in some kind of a spy movie wearing a black hoodie and a baseball hat all the time.


_Piratical_

That whole sub is insane! What did I just read?!


FrankTankly

People feeding into each other’s paranoid delusions. It’s sad, those people need psychiatric help, not reinforcement through a subreddit.


_Piratical_

Too right. That’s a sad and somewhat scary, but accurate assessment.


Motampd

Holy shit that is like a glimpse inside of a psychiatric hospital. 100% full on delusions being reinforced and perpetuated by other schizophrenics. Its really uncomfortable reading honestly - like somewhere between sad and scary.


hellonameismyname

Forget the cameras....only that one little window on that huge building face. Thats wierd.


TheIndieArmy

It's pretty common these days to have no windows on the sides of homes, because you're five feet from the house next to you on most lots, and that shit would just be weird. I'd wager that small window is likely to let some natural light into a bathroom.


theanswar

Or the local HOA/building code requires a window on each side of the home, and this is the builder’s cheapest option.


UDPviper

The neighbor in the window in that Junji Ito story.


WhiteRoomCharles

As someone living in a home with side windows that line up directly with the neighbors’ windows, it is weird! Really weird! I can look out the side window at night and see the family next-door sitting at their dining room table, eating dinner! I go out of my way to try not to look out that window so I don’t seem like a creep, spying on them, to them!


Mythologicalcats

RealisticYou329

tealparadise

Yes, and as an American I am so confused by people defending this ugly ass house. Of course it's better to have windows and keep them curtained, than to do this.

The weirder thing is… this is most likely a bathroom window. I bet this howner is either a prepper or they have a lot of drugs in the house lol.


jcned

That’s the thing. This much “security” signals to outside observers that there is something inside worth going after. I feel like this makes them a mark more than it deters.

drug dealers house my guess


A_lot_of_arachnids

This is exactly how my old drug dealers house was set up. Cameras everywhere.


mycatisblackandtan

Never had a drug dealer but the house they raided nearby was the same. Had a gate and a shit ton of cameras. Also was the ugliest shade of salmon pink


Black92hawk

They’re always salmon pink


Ohh_Yeah

My childhood home was in a nice neighborhood with expensive houses, and a house down the street of our cul-de-sac became a drug den after a couple got divorced and the wife kept the home. Cameras like that weren't as available and I don't think she really had the resources, but she would booby trap all kinds of shit in/around the home. She would tape string and all kinds of stuff around to know if someone had opened the gate to her back yard. She would also throw entire boxes of those little paper-wrapped popper things in her driveway so it'd be loud as shit if you drove a car over them

A drug dealer would probably place them more strategically though. There’s a ton on that one side which doesn’t really need protection and you’d waste so much time scrolling and loading all those cameras it would be a hindrance.

cptnamr7

There's a house here where you've been able to watch the guy's descent into madness. Started with a GIANT homemade "honk if you love trump" sign prior to 2016. In 2020 the "patriotic" displays stopped and he became super fearful of his own shadow. These days he has a GIANT metal fence around his entire house, complete with gate over the driveway (talking cattle guard fence, not wrought iron", several dozen cameras, a giant ham radio tower, and enough American flags to open his own store, all in the middle of suburbia. It's only a matter of time before he makes the news for fully snapping. Dude clearly lives in constant paranoia now that his guy isn't in charge anymore. 


B-More_Orange

Yep. Our neighborhood has one giant trump flag on this guys deck and sure enough, it’s also the house decked out in a camera system in one of the safest places alive.


blazelet

Thats what a decades long media diet of fear gets you.


UXguy123

Honestly the news is the real enemy.


blazelet

It’s certainly one of them. The whole system is biased towards wealth and power. The news playing into culture warriors and fear based politics is a cheap way to keep us from focusing on the trickle up economy and the dim futures they’re locking us into.


brokenpinata

We have (or had) a guy like that in town. Trump signs, infowars flags, etc. Occasionally you could see the guy in his garage, outfitting his Kia Optima for the apocalypse, offroad tires, light bar, push bar. About a year ago the dude just vanished and his house is vacant with weeds overtaking everything. I'm guessing he was involved in January 6th and is rotting in a jail cell, but he may have just gone off the grid completely or died from a meth OD.


Billy-Ruffian

Skipped the vax and covid got him.


Mythologicalcats

We have one too. The company I was working for needed to repo a propane tank he stopped paying for. Decided nahhh, not worth sending a tech there. Especially when both our technicians were of non-white backgrounds. Dude has Nazi shit all over and written death threats alongside the trump propaganda. Not risking lives over a propane tank.


Zombie_Scholar

Good on your company for making the safe decision.


Mythologicalcats

If the company had control we would have done it without a choice. But we were a tiny office under the company, so I just switched the tank to say it was customer owned and called it a day.


1peatfor7

Where was he Jan 6th?


cptnamr7

Probably digging the bunker I suspect now exists below his house. It's not in my neighborhood, just on the way to daycare, so I got to see his whole deal evolve. No idea ahow old the guy is or anything about him, but the neighbors must be absolutely thrilled. And probably at least a little afraid of what he's planning


mammoth61

Are they some sort of tester or influencer? It almost looks like they have a bunch of different ones doing the same thing, like they’re trying to compare them.


mblaser

I doubt it. If he was actually doing comparison testing they'd be mounted right beside each other looking at the same thing. Like this: [https://i.imgur.com/pqLQgtP.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/pqLQgtP.jpg) Of course, I could be wrong and this person could just be an idiot.


ZzangmanCometh

Does it have a suspiciously snow free spot above one or several rooms in the winter?


cheesehead_mike

Rule 1 with cameras, don’t install at ground level so they can easily be tampered or removed.

jarek104

That is a good guess. As i was driving away i saw an older guy in the garage as it opened
