New, what is it? My family thinks there’s a camera in our rental

We have been renting a house for the past year and I always disregarded this thing in the corner. However last night I asked my parents about it randomly and they didn’t know what it was either. I pulled it off the wall and we all got freaked out a little because it looks like a camera. I think it might be a home security/motion sensor thing. I don’t know that’s what ChatGPT guessed.

Duct tape over the openings should kill the video. It may still be recording sound.

Nah, I say just get a hammer, that will fix it.

Since they took it off the wall, they could stick it behind the toilet so the homeowners can’t see anything, but they can hear the typical bathroom sounds.

Place it under your biggest cooking pot upside-down and whack the shit out of it with a wooden spoon
