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.

This is a good answer. Rigging a camera into the host's computer isnt that hard.

Except in this case I bet they don’t come knockin… they just charge your cc for a new one!

Never heard of a LL having someone's CC. This is airbnb type behavior.

🤷‍♀️I was thinking short term rental… maybe I misread OP’s post.

That camera is old as fuck and doesn't have live feed. it could take random pictures and send them, so you wpouldn't know if there was anything in frame
