Hi /x/ I only started to visit this board after recent events

Yrs, continue. God, I hope you have it all written down already.

The longer the recordings went the more pixelated the images became. Keep in mind only the office and child's room became like this at first. I guess it resembled something like a shitty gas station camera. This perplexed me because all the cameras are linked to a central alarm unit and can detect when they are being tampered with. My tech told me that they had in fact not been tampered with which was a relief because sometimes the clients will fuck around with them and break them.

All the cameras can be controlled, turned and used with a cell phone. There is a log of usage stored within the DVR so we can see if the client actually did something wrong to initiate the malfunction but he only ever used it remotely once to adjust a camera over his front door. I had to rule out client fault pretty quickly I guess because nothing indicated to me or the tech he had done anything wrong. Time went on, the images in the office and child's room became so poorly pixelated there wasn't anything to look at but a blur.

This is the part that got both me and the tech. There was motion detected by the cameras in both affected rooms indicating someone was moving around in them. You could physically see it happening on both cameras at the same time. In the office it was very active and in the child's room whoever it was sat down on the ledge by the window. I called the client to ask if anyone had been in his house. Turns out it had only been his brother but he visited neither room according to the client.

That's it?

Did you tell the client about this or talk to anyone else? Pretty interesting.

The tech was in the room with me at this point. It takes time to analyze thousands of hours worth of footage so he was watching with me. We are both just two guys who work very boring jobs so we had both seen various technical glitches before but nothing like this where only two cameras seemed to be afflicted by some unknown error which caused extreme pixelation and false motion detection. Of course I use that term false motion here kind of incorrectly because the cameras had both visually detected something.

I decided to fast forward very quickly and we missed a huge amount of random occurrences but one universal problem which occurred on all cameras was the slow gradual pixelation. The tech had reset all the cameras but we couldn't replicate the problem, even when using the same SD cards and DVR. We obviously changed out the DVR and the cards to verify that it was not in fact a hardware problem. Around the last two hours of the recording he and I both saw someone moving through each room of the house when we had confirmed the client was not there during those hours.

At first we both believed it to be the brother but the brother had actually left much earlier. The person moving around inside the house was easily over six foot tall but wore very common clothing, nothing black like what you guys might have been expecting. It was impossible to tell who exactly he was because by this point the cameras had been aged to 1910 quality. I did make a call to the client to confirm once again no one was in his house around the time the cameras picked up this random persons movement. The house was supposed to be empty and worse still, the doors had not been opened.

Sorry for the slow typing. I'm trying to remember every detail that occurred.

This could be interesting.
Any chance that the electric instalations are wonky? I know for a fact that bad wiring around the house could make stuff go haywire.
I fried two computers and never had cellphone reception in my old apartment due to bad wiring.

There is always a chance of some kind of electrical malfunction but I've never seen one like this. These are high grade cameras as well and they don't break very easily or suffer from common issues unless the owner fucks with them which in this case he did not.

>>17806808
I know what you mean, man, but electronic equipment is sensitive. Shit, I work in a HVAC company and I've seen a very expensive heat pump explode because the power went out for half an hour...

>>17806818
Can you explain to me how it works? I literally just advise and broker the deals. Maybe you could give me some insight to what might be happening.

>>17806824
Any chance of sharing the vid?

>>17806824
How what works? Heat pumps? They take the heat from whatever source they have, and they heat water in a tank which is then used for heating and dhw? No idea, I'm also not a tech guy.

>>17806721
wtf OP you just stop there?

>>17807262
He has to imagine the next thing that happens

RIP thread. It had potential.
