Talking Buttocks Sign Rejuvenates Neighborhood Cam Battle

http://www.local6.com/irresistible/14705017/detail.html

SATELLITE BEACH, Fla. -- An ongoing dispute between two Satellite Beach neighbors over an outdoor home security camera has been reignited by a homeowner's large buttocks sign placed in a yard.

I like my neighbors, butt if I did not and they pointed a camera onto my property I'd do the same thing- perhaps with random strobe flashes.

This just more proof that you can't make up stuff that is funnier than real life!

There's nothing like making your nosy neighbor stare at your butt if he insists on staring in the first place. That's funny right there . . .

Any opto-reflective material would defeat the cams.

Someone I know had the same problem

a few years ago. He put a couple of big rig mirrors to good use. The idiots who put up the cameras were outraged when they learned there was no legal action they could take after their cameras were ruined.

Why? Use a paintball gun. That way he has to clean and clean it. Wreck the camera and it is over.

Does the light reflected screw up the camera? Not sure how.

A neighbor was telling me about a security system that uses wireless video cameras. He said the neighbors could intercept the signal and watch what the cameras see.

The camera's Iris gets fooled and underexposes grossly making the image rendered useless.

That much I can see. However, he mentioned that the camera was ruined so I am wondering how it would ruin the camera.

In extended cases, the CCD can burn out.
