A woman has blasted her ‘creepy’ neighbour for watching her through his doorbell camera. She says a blue light becomes visible on the doorbell whenever her is viewing it through a synced device – but she believes he doesn’t know it has this tell.
She’s asked him to stop watching her through the camera – but he simply dismisses her request. On , she said: “I’ve asked them to stop (via the doorbell when they were watching me) but they’re continuing to watch me.
“They’re definitely watching, rather than just the doorbell being triggered by motion, as the blue light comes on. They’re not very tech savvy so I don’t think they realise that a blue light is on.
“I’ve got multiple photos of their doorbell with the blue light from the last few months. Including a video where I asked the doorbell to stop watching me that shows the blue and red lights going off after my request.”
Feeling “harassed”, she says this isn’t the only issue she’s had with her neighbours as they’ve previously had a disagreement about a fence. Seeking advice, she has asked users how she can best handle this situation.

In response, one user said: “Is it illegal for someone to see or watch you going in and out of your house? They’re not stalking you as they are inside their own home surely? If it was someone watching you through their window it would be the same wouldn’t it? I think in your place I’d give a big grin and wave!”
Another user added: “I mean, if you’re outside of your/their house in the street, there’s not much you can do? I guess it’s like the modern equivalent of curtain twitching.” A third user said: “There’s nothing you can do. That’s like someone sat by the window watching people all day. This time through a camera. They are allowed you know.”

One more user added: “I think this is just the modern equivalent of looking out your window when something happens outside your house. I can probably make a bet that they do this with every motion, not just you.”
A final user said: “I live beside a curtain twitcher, and I feel so uncomfortable whenever I get into my car/or get out of it. I can see her shadow moving behind the blinds. She pretends she doesn’t see me if we cross paths in public. It’s ridiculous. I feel your pain.”
