So I see this post this morning on Nextdoor:

"we have spotted on our cameras for the last three nights around 1:00 am someone lingering in our front yard and on the front porch. We have not encountered this individual even though we have investigated. Be careful"

So of course there are many replies asking for the pictures....the response....

"the image is not that clear on the camera just enough where you can tell it’s a person."

I sure hope they post the pic LOL

From Nextdoor posting about door checkers in a subdivision near me. This is the best grab I can do from the video. There seems to be writing on the back of the guy's jacket, but who knows. This is an ADT system.

The same poster also made a post saying a car the previous night had been going up and down the street like it was casing houses. She posted this still to see if anyone recognized the car.

Ooooh, yeah! I recognize that vehicle casing the street. I think it is this one.....can I collect the reward money now??

That is more than enough lighting that should have produced a better picture.

I am sure it is some crappy camera with a wide angle lens digitally zoomed in
Yep. That snakey mosaic artifact pattern is a tell-tale.

Can anyone make out the person door checking this truck. Yes there is a person there but it is more ghost/blob than anything.

Fortunately they sent this video to the police, so it should be easy to make this person out from a lineup LOL.

And thanks to the watermark, we know this is a Wyze camera....get what you pay for. All they know is what time someone went thru their vehicles...

Wyze cameras and every other consumer grade piece of junk deserved to be sent to a blender / grinder

Another day, another crappy video post from the night before.

I sure hope someone can ID this perp checking car doors.

So let's point out the obvious issues here:

  • Cheap camera and probably wifi based on the amount of pixelation.
  • This area is lit up and the camera stayed B/W - too many MP on a too small sensor. This is probably a 4K wifi camera on a 1/3" sensor.
  • These were all motion activated floodlights and you cannot tell by the picture, but on the video, when the lights all kicked on, the perp didn't even flinch and continued to the truck.
  • The camera is TOO HIGH to be of any value for IDENTIFY.
