Mix up the water with as much sugar as you can get into it and spray it. When it dries it will leave a film which should mess up the image and there will be bazillions of ants & bugs crawling on them.

The laser alone should have killed the camera lol.
I would suggest you add salt to the water so that it ionizes and makes the water electrically conductive. Also salt is corrosive to metals so that could work to your favor.
For your pellet gun you don't use BBs. The Pellets you require are shaped sort of like little arrows. You should have good luck going to a WalMart

I'm glad people are being entertained by this thread.
And people say these high power lasers don't have any uses!
I have a feeling this guy hasn't checked the tape in a while... If he saw all the footage of his cameras getting blasted with lasers, flashlights and a super soaker I think he would have moved them by now.
Or given me another red-neck rant fest like he did when he accused me of throwing perfectly good beer in his yard.
At least this time he KNOWS its me! Heh I almost WANT him to complain about me trying to destroy the spy cameras he has pointed at me.
So, try sugar water and salt water? We're concocting quite a recipie here. By the time I'm done i'm not sure if the cameras will be fried or sautéed!
I should throw an egg at them and then try to cook it with the laser.
More pics to come!

I would have put a couple random pictures in front of them, maybe ones of your balcony with nothing going on up there. Like they do in the spy movies :>
Just to see how long it would take for your neighbor to take them down. Maybe make some bets with friends.

or put a page out of a playboy in front of the camera XD
As for salt and sugar in the water well, adding sugar on top of salt might increase conductivity a little and it would make the camera and its lens sticky lol

Keep us updated. If I were you I'd get another water gun and put it full of something like lighter fluid and try to start a fire on them with the laser or use it as a flame-thrower. [CENSORED]ing spies! Also shooting gorilla glue or honey or syrup or make a baking soda and vinegar bomb and throw it at his camera etc...
Ok here is my SATURDAY NIGHT MISCHIEF post!
The goal: spray an icky solution of salt/sugar water on the cameras spying on me from 35 feet away. Here are the players:
I filled the pot with warm water and poured enough salt in there to satisfy the needs of 27,320 McDonald's French fries, and enough sugar to make 30 apple pies or one gallon of American milk. The super soaker-like gun was ready to go, and based on previous experiments I'd say the pot holds enough water to give me 8 or 10 really good Peter North style shots (insert big laughs from everyone who gets that reference).
The only problem is, while I really don't care if Mr Dogpile next door knows I'm the one wreaking havoc with his precious $30 eBay cameras, why should I make it EASY for him to prove it was me? It just seemed too... sloppy & amateur for a man of my insidiousness to just let his cameras get a nice, clear picture of me spraying his cameras. Why give him the pleasure of PROOF it was me?
No no, it would be far more fun to watch him bust a blood vessel in his red neck screaming to the police "but I KNOW it was him!!" and hearing the cop reply "well, you need proof, sir. Perhaps if you set up a video camera and caught him in the act..."
I already tried blasting my Wicked Laser 1W Arctic into the lenses for a while, but did it do any damage? All I know is the red ring of lights around the lens was still dimly humming... How can I prevent him from seeing me? I could wear a disguise, but that would just be silly. I'd much rather prevent him from seeing ANYTHING on his precious cameras.
And then I saw the light! Or, more to the point, I showed his cameras the light. To explain:
See, at night, it's much harder for cameras to get a proper exposure. They are very sensitive to any sort of luminous stimulous, so I decided to give them some! I pulled my high power LED flashlight out of my drawer of "expensive things I bought that seemed really cool at the time but I quickly realized had no purpose" and put in a fresh set of batteries. Then I went on my balcony, put the flashlight on the ledge and aimed the light right into the cameras. It looked remarkably like this:
Perhaps those of you less familiar with how cameras work are thinking "so what? You gave the cameras a spot light! Now does stop them from seeing you?"
Well, when you shine a bright light into a camera - especially at night, when the surrounding area is dark, it flares out the lens. To give you an idea of what those camera were seeing at this point, I shined the same flashlight into my digital camera from 20 feet away and this is what it saw:
However, chances are the cameras have an automatic exposure adjustment, so the lenses probably reduced their f-stop way down to compensate for the bright light, producing video that would most likely look like this:
Now the flare isn't so bad, but since the camera has reduced its exposure to probably f11 at this point (that means its not letting very much light in) that means everything it was supposed to be filming Is way too dark to show up. In other words, as long as my flashlight was aimed at his cameras, there is very little chance they will show anything other than a bright flare surrounded by black - and a whole lot of not me!
I could be on my balcony nude with HIS wife and he'd never be able to tell. So I was now free to "fire at will" with impunity.
A single $5 flashlight will make ANY security camera, I don't care how much it costs, essentially useless (as long as its either at night or in a low light surrounding. The brighter the flashlight, the better it works (and the brighter your surroundings can be).
So I went to work and happily emptied my bucket of yum all over his blind cameras. Almost doesn't seem fair, does it?
A few hours later the red lights were still on, but I wasn't expecting one "hosing session" was going to do any real damage; the hope is that when it dries the lens might be covered with enough gunk to make the picture really bad.
But no matter - tomorrow I'm going to introduce the cameras to "my little friend:"

I would suggest making him some saltwter taffy (sugar+salt+heat=yum)on his lenses before you bring in the pellets using another round of the arctic.
In all reality, all you would need is one well placed pellet and you do instant physical damage unlike the water and laser. Personally I would have just kept cooking the cameras with my lasers until they started smoking. I hope I find someone doing that to me so I can try out hitting a camera with 3x 2W+ 445nms + 1x 1W+ 445nm + 1x 1W 638nm + 1x 700mW 405nm and a 300mW 660nm at the same time. I would find it hard to believe there is a camera that can take an array of lasers at 9W total for any length of time lol.

Apex, that sure is a lot of firepower! The only problem is distance. It was hard enough to get the beam from ONE laser to bullseye the camera lens from 35 feet away, but 4, 5 or more? Plus, at that distance, the lasers really do loose a lot of their punch.
A pellet, on the other hand, is just getting started at the 35 foot mark :-O

I assume you have a video camera? Maybe on your phone? Please keep it near your front door. I'm dying to see the interaction when you get "the knock"...

Time to mix in a bit of irony into your revenge... put a couple of cameras on your balcony to overlook his property :eg:
Oh, and another one off to the side to watch the area in case he is stupid enough to try the same kind of antics back :evil:
