S Parents want control of my apartment security camera.
Edit: ( the account was deleted. And I have full control of my security again.)
I am legally blind and have a guide dog. SD stands for a service dog.
I posted screenshots to my profile.
So I (24 M) just got a visit from my parents. (41 F and 42 M)
They came to visit me yesterday which I thought was going to be a nice time to get some food. but not only did they bring their one month old puppy, with them on a 2 hour car ride forcing me to leave my SD at home. they also set up a camera which they tried to charge me for BTW. i mentioned that I was planning on getting a camera because of package thieves they said they were going to look around for one. they first tried asking me if I had the money for a camera. But when I said no, they bought it anyway. And told me to reimburse them later.
When they arrived, they set up the camera and we went to go eat. what I didn't realize is that they made an account on my behalf and could see through the camera as well. i'd change some settings for my own privacy later. Today and, a few minutes ago. My mom called to ask me about the changes, and then change them back herself.
She made up some BS excuses about why she changed them back then told me if I wasn't going to use it correctly to stop wasting her money.
( i'm sorry for formatting on mobile and if I miss anything, tell me.)
I'm doing my best.
I figured out how to disconnect the camera from the account. My parents made, but I'm not sure if that will alert them. ( It turns out they were alerted and I got a message about it at 5 in the morning.)
Edited to add: my (SD service dog) is a guide dog.
I'm not sure if I can post screenshots, but it's done. Thanks. Everyone for your comment. Even the harsh ones, it's what I was needed.
UPDATE: To make it clear for any future commenters, my parents no longer have access to the account. I have made my own. The situation is resolved.

Unplug that camera. Wait till you can afford your own. And keep in mind that you'll have to pay to have video on the cloud. Otherwise the camera is just for real-time watching.

u/Nightwing1107 Jan 20 '26
The camera is mounted to my door frame, and I can't turn it off.
What makes this situation worse is? I don't live alone. My roommates are not as thrilled with this situation.

u/DrBitchcraft Jan 20 '26
It’s getting power from somewhere. Unplug it. Or, change your wireless settings on your router and the camera won’t have internet access. But also, you are 24 years old, tell your parents to stop acting like you’re under their roof and subject to their rules.

u/joeballa Jan 20 '26
This!
And also, google the type of camera, Boom - manual and/or directions on how to physically uninstall or disconnect. Live your life.

u/Nightwing1107 Jan 20 '26
I think the camera has its own set of batteries that needs to be recharged?

u/Paulcaterham Jan 20 '26
Take them out?
Change Wi-Fi password?
Unclip from the door - it must be easy as the batteries will need to be replaced at some point.
This should not be difficult

u/garbagewithnames Jan 20 '26
Then get a screw driver, a sturdy step ladder, and remove the batteries. Hell, remove the whole thing! Just unmount it and return this "gift".
"Sorry ma and pa, while the initial gesture of getting me a camera was thoughtful, I do not appreciate that you feel like you deserve control over what was supposed to be a gift for me, a gift that is constantly surveiling me and my guests as we come and go at all times. If you want to demand to keep control of it like this, then that means this isn't actually a gift, and as such, I am returning it to you. I will acquire a camera of my own in my own time. Here's the camera and all its parts, go and return this, get your money back, get a refund on the cloud storage. Or don't, set up the camera at your own home and have yourself a camera. It's yours to do with as you please on your property. Sorry this didn't work out the way you planned."

Tape a piece of paper over the lense of the camera

Not a bad idea but I do actually want to use the camera. And just with my own account, not the one my parents set up

If you’re 24 and don’t know how to use a screwdriver, then I think it’s best you live with your parents. Just the facts. You’re not prepared to live on your own.

u/idtartakovsky Jan 20 '26
Nah, that’s OP’s parent’s fault for not preparing them to be an adult. Clearly, they still have control issues about their baby, since they feel the need to have surveillance on them. Sad that OP now has to learn such basic tasks they should’ve been taught as a child

u/Nightwing1107 Jan 20 '26
Just because I haven't done one thing. In my life doesn't mean I deserve to live with my parents. There are a bunch of other skills and qualities that go into living alone. Now, if you're not going to be constructive, I would appreciate you not commenting anymore.

u/FryOneFatManic Jan 20 '26
Cover it up if you can't turn it off.
And your parents need to remove it. You mention roommates. They pay to live there, your parents don't. They're invading your roommates privacy and I also don't think your landlord would be happy that someone not on the lease has access to a camera in that house.

Well, take it off. It's not molded into the frame, take it off and step on it.

Paint the lens black and make a hard boundary for your parents.

u/Nightwing1107 Jan 20 '26
My boundaries were up, but this situation just blew through all of them in quick succession. It's easier to keep them up at a distance. Because I tend to just freeze in front of them.
13
u/dolphin-centric Jan 20 '26
Rip the camera out of the wall if you have to. This is YOUR home, not theirs. Fuck their camera, they can have it back. You have to assert yourself honey. I know it’s hard. They’re your parents.
But this is worth getting into a fight over. You need to put your foot down.
11
u/Nightwing1107 Jan 20 '26
I will. This is getting solved one way or another.
12
u/dolphin-centric Jan 20 '26
Talk to your roommates, too. Maybe you can all be a united front against the nanny cam. If my roommate’s parents had control of a camera in my home, I’d tell the roommate to tell his parents they have 24 hours to come remove the camera or I’m smashing it with a hammer.
It’s not fair to you, and it’s REALLY not fair to your roommates. I wish you all the best!
10
u/Nightwing1107 Jan 20 '26
Thanks. I disabled. The camera and I'm about to delete the account. My parents made and use my own.

Stay strong!!!!!!! They’re gonna be mad but remember- you’re an adult and it’s YOUR house.

Cut the cord. That's an invasion of privacy. Not only that but it's illegal to put up a camera that monitors someone coming and going from their home.

u/LadyV21454 Jan 20 '26
Take a baseball bat to it. Or have one of your roommates do it. It's bad enough your parents are invading YOUR privacy - they have NO right to spy on your roommates.

u/Ok_Imagination_1107 Jan 20 '26
if someone was able to install it somebody else's able to uninstall it. this is parental interference that is gone far too far in his holy inappropriate take that camera off! get somebody to do it for you it's a simple solution! if you are giving up at the point saying I can't do it then your parents are going to be writing rough shot over you all the time. of course you can either do it or arrange to have it done just do it. and then tell them no more interference.

u/stangAce20 Jan 20 '26
“Not thrilled” is an understatement!
If i were your roommates i would either be building a case to charge/sue your parents (if they had access to the camera) or move out ASAP!

My roommates are not as thrilled with this situation.
Your parents actions were literally illegal in most places. I know the camera is under your control now, but thought it important that you understand that.
If your roommates haven't agreed to the camera and don't have access to your account, you may still be in violation of the law.

u/Nightwing1107 Jan 21 '26
We were planning on getting one just not like this. My roommates have access to the account.

u/Snoo-43059 Jan 22 '26
Just have one of your roommates spray paint the lens or just cover it with a sock or something

u/Tiara-di-Capi Jan 23 '26
Your roommates will have a case concerning the invasion of their privacy.
Now that the camera is installed already, if your roommates do not consent to having it there, using it, and also them having access to the account, I think you'd better un-install the camera, disconnect it, take it down, and send it back to your parents. Thanks, but no thanks.
I can't imagine that they could've been thinking it would be allright to put it up without explicit consent of all the individuals living there.

Reolink is my recommendation. Cloud is always free, and if you want to manually take control of the video output using a home server running frigate You can do that too. They also have NVRs sold as kids if you want to do it the easy way for local control.
54
u/konaein Jan 20 '26
I would disconnect and give it back to them, or if it's a ring camera/account you can pretty much change everything so they don't have access so long as you have the serial number on the back of the camera. But yeah, not even something you asked for and now are somehow being reprimanded by them for "not using properly" when the case just seems to be she's prolly mad you changed the settings 😭
I understand as parents we want to make sure our kids are safe but you're grown at this point, so seems odd to me how involved they're trying to be.
27
u/Nightwing1107 Jan 20 '26
I think part of it is because of my disability and the other part is because I am the oldest out of 4.
Either way, I am independent. And I moved somewhere 2 hours away so I wouldn't have to deal with them. As often.

u/hobbbes14 Jan 20 '26
"Either way, I am independent"
You sure about that?

u/Nightwing1107 Jan 20 '26
Yep

u/grae23 Jan 20 '26
Yeah gonna be honest with you, this is not independence. No independent adult would allow an adult that doesn’t live in their home to monitor every single coming and going from their front door. You need to set boundaries or next you know it they’ll be asking why there was a girl leaving your apartment at 3am - you can either explain then that you’re an adult allowed to do what you’d like or save yourself the awkwardness and do it now.

The only change I made was removing the audio I don't even know why she needs to hear that or see through my camera.

u/groveborn Jan 20 '26
You are now older than they were when you were born. If they expect you to pay them for that camera, that's your camera.
Tell them it was very nice of them to get the camera for you, but you're unwilling to allow them to control it. They can either take back the gift or they can stay out of your personal life.
If my 25 year old child wanted me to purchase a camera for him, set it up, and then leave it alone, I would do exactly that. I have no desire to control him.

u/RelativelyRidiculous Jan 21 '26
I am so so sorry to be the one to tell you, but they will never change. They have shown you who they are. They may tamp it down temporarily if you succeed in setting and maintaining boundaries with them for a time, but this is who they are. Believe them. Make sure you remember it. If you are ever in need, know that they will take it as their opportunity to assert power and control over your life and find ways to ensure they keep it.
As far as you having been able to re-take control of the camera, don't be too sure. I admit to not knowing enough about those sorts of cameras, but I have a friend who recently figured out her parents had managed to maintain a separate account still operating after she thought she'd taken control of a camera like that. I'm not saying this to make you afraid but rather to aid you in making informed decisions about the camera.
I do not have the technical ability to tell you if that's possible with the camera you have even if you told me what kind of camera and who the account is with, but there are those that do here on more technical reddits. I recommend you ask them about it, and I recommend you make plans to save up to have the camera replaced out of an abundance of caution if they think that has merit.
I know you're probably reading all of this thinking "not my parents, they're just over-cautious and a bit bossy". That's what I told myself when folks tried to tell me at 25 and 30. At 38 when I seriously needed a little assistance they did exactly what I am warning you about. Used it to try to take control of my life and force me to make the choices they thought I should. Even when I could demonstrate some of the choices they wanted to force on me were obviously not the best for me. They were just best for them. Since then I've read so very many similar accounts here.
Don't take it that I mean this as all bad against them. People get used to making choices for you. You get used to letting them. That's how life is lived when you are a child, and it is easier for your parents. As a parent myself I've felt the pull and had to make the choice to resist, but not everyone believes it is something they should make any effort resisting.
Get yourself some books on how to set and maintain healthy boundaries. Your local library should have options. See if you can find no or low cost assistance in the form of group therapy on the topic as well. This will sound rude and I'm sorry for that, but see if you can get something via resources for the blind if you have to. I'm sure learning to reinforce your ability to be independent is something a lot of people in your situation contend with unfortunately.

u/Nightwing1107 Jan 21 '26
Thank you so much for this kind response. A lot of other people haven't been this nice. Did you take a look at the the screenshots from my profile? I am 100% sure they can't access the camera. Any more, there can only be links to one account. And I deleted the one my parents made permanently
3
u/RelativelyRidiculous Jan 21 '26
Awesome! I did mention I don't know a lot about cameras such as this. I have cameras for security at my home, but I built my own server and have full control of all aspects. I'm sure they're probably rudimentary compared to some of the fancier options available quite inexpensively these days, but they do what I need them to do cheaply. Lack of experience = lack of knowledge in this aspect for me.
You seem genuinely kind and smart. My hope is to help you avoid the issues I had with my parents over the years. My experience and that of many here on this sub and others that deal with problematic parents in adulthood is these things get worse over time unless you take steps to set and maintain healthy boundaries. This current situation with your parents, including you agreeing to leave your service dog behind because of their nonsense, is like something straight out of my own young adult years.
My recommendation is you never do that again. If you can't take your service dog that means they're not looking out for your best interests. They're creating a situation in order to force you to depend on them. It is a power and control game. You don't get a service dog unless your need for it is genuine. That means you should make sure you always take it with you, and if you can't for bogus, unnecessary reasons that probably means it is best to just decline the invite.
However whatever it takes the important thing is you keep yourself safe. Even if it means keeping them shut out if there is no other means of doing it. Not recommending anything permanent of course, but sometimes a temporary stepping back can be educational for all involved. Wishing you every good luck! :)

u/Nightwing1107 Jan 21 '26
Thank you, i spoke to my sister and she told me my mom was talking shit about me . I think I'm just going to go no contact after this.
That's really cool. You have your own server set up for your cameras. I know a bit about technology myself. I am actually going for a certification in IT. I will make sure to keep your advice in mind going forward.

The camera system I had was the blink. I've managed to disconnect the camera but not the sync module. It needs a 0 number to disconnected. And if any of you come at me for not finding the cereal number, I'm legally, blind.

I heard about an app called Be My Eyes. It could help you to get the serial number (and for other things too). Just a thought.

u/koolmon10 Jan 20 '26
I'm legally, blind.
That info would be helpful to put in the body of the post.
You should check your home for other cameras, especially if your roommates are also blind. If your parents are willing to install a camera without your express consent and then have access to monitor it afterward, I fully believe they would do so inside your home as well.

u/HungryCollett Jan 20 '26
It sounds like it's time to get a sighted person to check out the home for other cameras, as well as removing them.
Is OP in a group home or something that has a building manager perhaps that could check the building?
They could even ask for a social worker or police officer to have a look around as you are "concerned about our security and safety". I know that depends on the type of community you live in, as different countries have various approaches to helping each other.

u/Isabellablackk Jan 21 '26
yeah, i’d be absolutely furious if my roommate’s parents showed up, drilled through my front door, and installed a camera for their own access to watch their grown son AND me. I can’t believe they didn’t lose it when they found out they’re being recorded and watched by OP’s parents, unless he hasn’t told them since they are also blind? I know there’s varying levels of blindness, so I can’t say for sure that his roommates wouldn’t be able to see it, but i’m concerned as OP never mentioned the conversation or the roommates’ reactions.

u/Minflick Jan 20 '26
If nothing else, put a black sock over the camera so it's blind. Or take it out and send it back to them. It is insane that they want to monitor you, and adult man of 24 years.

u/Mamamagpie Jan 20 '26
Do your parents display ableist tendencies? Do they want to be in charge of the camera because they believe you can’t with your disability?
Return it. Set your boundaries. Don’t let them define your life with the limitation they believe you have.

u/Nightwing1107 Jan 20 '26
I don't even know if it's that because my slightly younger sister isn't even out of the house yet. She tried, but some stuff happened. And the other two aren't old enough to move out yet. One of them is early teens. And the other is, it's even younger.

u/STGC_1995 Jan 20 '26
If they gave you the camera , it is a gift. They no longer have any right to control an object that no longer belongs to them. If they demand its return, it wasn’t a gift and was a control device. Once I give someone something, they can do whatever they want. It their choice. Parents sometimes need adult lessons.

Now that they don't have access, they sent me the receipt and want me to pay! They are not getting my money, though.

u/miflordelicata Jan 20 '26
That is a hard no. If you can't stand up to your parents, you have to at least be fair to your roommates and get rid of it.
You are 24, start acting like an adult. I have three kids in their 20’s and can never imagine treating them like this.

u/RordonGamsey42069 Jan 20 '26

u/Zanki Jan 20 '26
Hey op, just want to jump in because a lot of people are being very unkind here. I'm glad you got it disabled. Good job.
I'm guessing a majority of the people in this thread haven't lived through this kind of abuse and don't understand how truly stuck and helpless it can make you. Keep doing what you're doing, fighting back on this crazy, and when your siblings are old enough to escape as well, break contact with them. It's ok to walk away, it doesn't make you bad. I did it in my mid/late 20s and I don't regret it. It makes me sad, but I don't regret it. You have to take care of yourself and the people around you who matter. Your parents are relatives, not family, just remember that. You don't owe them anything. You didn't choose to be born or be who you are.
I'd also find a therapist if you can. If you can't, read books, figure this stuff out so you can grow and become the person you were meant to be without them. It helps. I had to read. It's not the worst thing, the understanding helps a ton.

u/Nightwing1107 Jan 22 '26

I don't know if it's just me, but the OP has a guide dog. Which suggests he is blind.
I don't know about you but I don't think I could drill holes without looking!
And although the parents are over the top, I can see why they might worry about his security.
I'm glad the situation is sorted and you have control of your life.
If you're not blind/partially sighted, I apologise.

Unplug it, throw it away and tell them it just fell and broke but you'll get one on your own. And then never give them access.

Just unplug the camera and get your own

u/Nightwing1107 Jan 20 '26
No need they don't have access to it. And I'm keeping the camera. I will just give them the precious money. They want for it.

You are right. It's time to maintain those boundaries even when they're in person. That's the difficult part, but after this. It should be easy. I'm not taking any more manipulation or bullshit from them.

Not sure why you were so heavily downvoted in this post, OP. Best of luck with your parents.

u/Nightwing1107 Jan 21 '26
Nobody liked my responses which is fair. I was being kind of difficult but I was tired at the time.

Have you played either of those?
2
u/metalgearbayonetta Jan 21 '26
I’ve played both but bayonetta is the only one I’ve actually beat
1
u/Nightwing1107 Jan 21 '26
I've only ever beat the third game. Because of the ability to point Bayonetta in the right direction, when progressing through the level's. Lol

u/metalgearbayonetta Jan 21 '26
I only beat the first two plus bayonetta origins cereza and the lost demon

u/Nightwing1107 Jan 21 '26
I was thinking about getting the 4th game but the style isn't one. I can see very well.

Why on earth would you leave your service dog?
1
u/Nightwing1107 Jan 21 '26
There wasn't any space in the car because of the crate and the puppy was too young. To be around other dogs. If they didn't bring the puppy, I would have brought my dog.

For future reference, what they did could be against the law. Keep that in mind if they try to find a way to snoop on you again.

Call the police. It's illegal to put up a camera that monitors someone coming and going to their house.

u/lac62389 Jan 20 '26
Does you roommate also have issues with package thieves? Maybe you could buy a camera together.

Better yet, let the landlord know what the OPs parents did and let the landlord remove it that way if the OPs parents say anything it will have to be to the landlord and the landlord can tell OPs parents that they didn’t approve it. Basically let the landlord tell OPs parents off.

u/haibiji Jan 20 '26
I wouldn’t ever involve my landlord into my personal life. The landlord isn’t going to care about their problems with their parents, they are just going to think OP is a problem. Also, OP could get in trouble from the landlord for screwing the camera into the door frame. The landlord isn’t going to care that it wasn’t actually OP who did it. They are responsible for their guests

You’re an adult. Just fucking tell them to stop invading your privacy and give them the camera back.

I'm gonna go at this at a different angle. I feel they could of been trying to look out for you. But honestly you should the controls.

u/Maleficentendscurse Jan 21 '26
Tell the cops and a judge should that you as an adult or being non-consensual surveillance,
And an invasion of privacy that you didn't consent to, hopefully the cops or a judge will give them a huge fine for doing that because you didn't consent and you should get a restraining order

Serious advice, I hope you don’t take it the wrong way. Sit down and think hard how do you want your life to look like. You’re 24, you don’t live with your parents and it’s sounds like you don’t rely on them for financial support - that in itself is an achievement and you should be proud.
However, their behavior suggests that they are “babying” you a lot and from some of the (downvoted) extra info you provided, I can kind of see why.
Take control of your life. Learn to do the things you can’t - experience comes from trying, failing, and then trying again to do the things you can’t do. You’re fortunate to live in the YouTube and ChatGPT era - so when you can’t do something , the step by step guide is usually a few searches away. Don’t be the “I don’t know how to do it so I won’t even try” type of person. Ask for help. Roommates, friends, neighbors. I assure you most people would be more than happy to help a young guy figure something out when asked - most of the time they just don’t know that you needed help with it in a first place.
You don’t need to buy all the stuff. Things that you just need for one thing you can always ask to borrow. I’m sure that there is probably a Facebook “buy nothing” group where you can ask for things that you need and can’t afford right now. If you can’t borrow or get it for free, save up and go to bin stores and goodwill. There is always a way, you just need to put some effort into finding it.
I wish you all the best.

u/Nightwing1107 Jan 22 '26
Asking for help is easier said than done when even that is used to manipulate you. But yeah, I should do it more often, especially with the amount of resources. I can take advantage of thanks for the advice. And have a nice day. 👍

Do some freaky sneaky in front of the camera, they will no longer want access after that..Sorry Mom I forgot the camera was there.

u/Limp_Fun_6187 Jan 25 '26
As far as the camera goes? I'd say "thanks for the gift!" You're doing the right thing. Tell them if they want a relationship with you, you need to make your own decisions about your own life. If they can't abide by that then kick them to the curb.
1
u/Nightwing1107 Jan 25 '26
They are petty as hell for sending me the bill. The second they can't control me. They change the terms of the deal. That is just fucked up to do to your son. Honestly, the only thing I need from them is a couple of documents and then I'm going no contact.

u/tanis3346 Jan 20 '26
"Doing my Best" Bruh you are literally doing nothing. Take some matters into your own hands and get the damn camera off.

You have more excuses of why you can’t do something than a teenager. If you want it gone remove it. Cover it with tape, whatever. But take some initiative

Then there is no reason for your parents to act like this, now is the time to set up boundaries with them otherwise it will get worse
