Dunno how I missed this gem
Im honestly not even trying to start anything here, Im just curious how it's possible for a camera to see farther at night than in the day, it just doesn't make any sense to me. 50' isn't far at all, chances are that's the distance from his chimney to the end of his yard. Even within that 50' radius he's not going to be able to make out much detail especially with some bargain bin security camera.
So if the kids were across the street near the school where they should be in the first place they'd be far outside of his range. Even the teenage girls behind him in their backyard swimming would be too far for him to see. It wouldn't matter if they were nude or in full winter clothing all he'd see is a blurry blob.
My dad installed some half decent security cameras inside the local church. These were inside away from the glare of the sun in a well lit hallway so that they could see who was coming through the doors.
I watched the screen as a woman came through the door and passed 10' from the camera and her face was still relatively blurry. These cameras had night vision too but they didn't have the black magic option that allowed them to see farther at night. Maybe he bought his from the NSA . . . . . . Since you were confused by the relation of 1941 and WWII (that's World War II (The two I's mean 2, that's two) ) NSA is National Security Agency.
