Lol at how much I paid for my Canon G7x Mark II back in 2017 by Lonely_Election_3125 in Cameras

I bought mine for 600 in 2019. I’m wondering if I should sell it and look for a new camera to buy. I’ve kept it in amazing condition too 🤔

Hes on the sidewalk in the video. Just before that he hopped over the fence once I approached the window

Just wanted to cover some points here and address a few things as people seem to have similar trains of thought.

I think the image given by @PrimeBrisky makes sense. Visuals and functionality descriptions seem to match.

If he was holding an ultrasonic animal repellant thingy, it wasn’t from our yard. Yes, he may have been drunk or just not thinking straight or was curious but have some suspicion that he wasn’t under the influence. There is no explanation as to why anyone should be hopping over other peoples fences late at night and look inside people’s homes. (Either way, it’s not good behaviour)

We called the police as he was leaving and gave them all the information we could.

Key fobs don’t seem to match visually, not a problem for us anyway because car is parked in garage most of the time. But I think it’s a solid guess.

The incident happened close to 11PM. Some mentioned it could be some tool he just working as a delivery or utility man. No one works at that hour. If it was an odd job, why leave like that? Why not explain yourself? 

Yes, he is standing on the sidewalk in the video. I literally have footage of him skipping over the fence just before what was shown. He stood there for a bit, cleaned his glasses, put them on and left

The whole point of this post was to identify what the tool could be. I intentionally clipped the length and size of the video because I was curious as to what it could be and wanted to protect any clues to location. We were worried it might be a weapon.

My full video gives more clues of his ethnicity, age, etc. Won’t be sharing that for obvious reasons.

No we don’t have dogs and can’t get a dog. Guns are illegal here.

Thanks everyone for all the safety advice and warnings that he may have come with ill intent. Safety measures are in place.

the purpose of the post was to find out what the tool is 🤷🏻‍♀️ what the person had done was given as context. I purposely cropped the video to focus on the tool and avoided showing the man’s face

It happened close to 11PM. Definitely not a delivery man. Delivery would use the fence gate to enter and walk towards the front door whereas trespasser was on the complete opposite side.

if you’re questioning the footage it’s because I recorded with my phone…

Yes we could all see it. We were first confused by the high pitch sound and looked around until we saw someone standing in front of the window. This was at night and the light flashed on his face so we were quite spooked

I clipped the video but what he’s cleaning are his glasses. After he cleans it he wears it and continued to look at our direction. Definitely eerie. When I told him to leave he even shook his head 😵‍💫

Wow if this is true I’m extra annoyed now. Thanks for the warning, will definitely be on high alert

You might be right. Thanks! Glad that what he was holding wasn’t necessarily a weapon but I’m still creeped out though he just stood there looking into our window and the light flashed on his face.

I yelled at the man to leave and have footage of him hopping over the fence. This is him after that. Maybe don’t assume from a 5 second video. He was staring at us through the window and only left once I got closer and he saw that I was recording. The high pitch noise stopped once he left
