Camera On A Tripod

The neighbors across the street have always kept their bedroom window blinds closed, until now. Now, a camera on a tripod is sitting in the now exposed window. My question is why.

The camera lens is facing my house. Are they filming me? If so, they will die of boredom. Nothing even remotely interesting happens in my house. They'll see dogs walking around and sleeping on the furniture. Sometimes I'll walk by in old sweats. I might sit down and read in my sweats. Nothing illegal, immoral or racy happens here. I find it hard to believe that the camera is there to film me.

Maybe it's a security camera and they are filming all activity in front of their house. Again, I don't know why they would bother. This is a very low crime area with cops living up and down the street. Plus, the wife doesn't work and the husband doesn't travel. One or both of them are almost always home. I don't know why they would be so afraid.


So, why after several years, is a camera now prominently displayed in their window?
