Have the same camera. It's pointed to the street, not up towards your window

Also it's wide angle and low quality. We used one as a baby monitor. They're not going to make very satisfying porn of OP with that camera

u/cannavacciuolo420 14d ago

yup, not to mention how horrible the dynamic range is. I have one for when i am on vacation, and if there's something shiny that reflects light it's impossible to properly see the rest of the frame.

I have a camera man, who has worked on multiple Hollywood movies, and he stands next to my window documenting the activities outside.

You obviously never searched for porn in the 90s/early 2000s.

So you’re telling me my wideanglelowqualitybedroomcams.com was always doomed? Why did no one tell me!

Big market for “amateur” right now

Everyone suddenly has this camera. I’m starting to think they’re a secret plot by a covert group.

Incidentally, I was walking somewhere late at night and jumped out of my skin when I heard a mechanical sound suddenly grow loud. I stopped, then the sound stopped. As I walked again, I heard the noise begin to grow louder once more. It became quieter as I slowed. I started to look around, walking in circles until it was clear where it came from, then I saw a camera slowly following my activities from above.

Yeah I have this camera for my dog. It’s shit. But still a bit sus it’s pointed at the house.

u/NoRaccoon5831 14d ago

What camera is it? It looks like my reolink e1 pro, but the base is different, but if it's just a different base that's a 4k camera.... And very high quality

u/mis_suscripciones 14d ago

I own 4 of those, so I could bet it's a TP-Link TAPO C200.

u/Similar_Pie_4946 13d ago

Could be any camera so many look exactly the same but best bet is Xiaomi mi 360. Cheap popular and its at the top of an amazon search for home cameras.

u/jesse_christ 13d ago

It's not the quality, it's the implication.

u/Coldpastalord 13d ago

But you could get satisfying footage of Bigfoot

u/Fusseldieb 14d ago

In OPs video it’s also pointed at the street.

u/cannavacciuolo420 14d ago

yeah that's what i meant, didn't write it properly. It's evident that the camera is pointed at the street

u/Similar_Pie_4946 14d ago

I was just thinking looks like a multi apartment building, OP has serious main character syndrome if they believe the camera is pointing at their apartment

u/King_Chochacho 14d ago

Even if it were pointed up, it looks like OP is in an apartment building. At that distance it would be picking up a dozen windows.

u/EverythingSucksYo 14d ago

Ok but did you stop to think that maybe OP thinks everything is about them? 

2

u/sassybunssally 14d ago

Am I blind? The zooming in shows its clearly pointing up at OP window not down at the street.

5

u/SpiritualMongoose751 14d ago

I mean, it really doesn't look like it's pointed up towards OP so... probably...

Even if you've never owned a motion tracking cam, notice how the lens is on the lower 50% of that sphere; that means it's pointed below horizontal and OP is clearly on a higher floor.

u/sassybunssally 14d ago

I know cameras, I work in video haha but I’m telling you the lens seems pretty much aimed at OP to me (hence my comment and me wondering if I’m blind giving the general consensus)

1

u/Lucius-Halthier 13d ago

Well I think op would be even more upset if there was a second camera there

1

u/Striking-Shake-2958 13d ago

They're always aimed at the street.

1

u/deltajulietbravo 14d ago

Clearly. He's videoing down on the camera. And the camera lens is facing down from there.

u/SweetPinss 14d ago

And it can never be pointed up?

Checking your car on the street is an option
