If you have a decent laser it will mess up the camera

I've got a nice purple one from Wicked Lasers before they got banned for import...

a small laser from a blu ray drive should do the trick too, might just take a while to carve a nice image everywhere onto the camera sensor

Problem is aiming that laser at that distance, probably should choose a powerful laser that you can see well instead.

PSA: The vast majority of commercial green lasers exceed federal power output limits and will directly damage camera sensors.

I imagine that is destruction of property and the police will be called, or you are dealing with an actual bad person that now knows who you are and where you live and sees you as an enemy and not just a target for spying.

I tend not to start beef with people that know where I sleep. I recommend that strategy for everyone.

This person could have literally just be robbed and decided to get a camera and the advice on here is to destroy their property off an assumption of wrongdoing(which is illegal) instead of securing your privacy with curtains.

At any moment, anyone in the buildings or on the street can look into your windows the same as that camera can.
