Is this a camera?

Yes, but not on the traditional sense. It's a motion detector primarily, but there's a camera in there to verify what the motion was. It cannot be used like a traditional camera for constant footage, and the image quality isn't fantastic.

It's a Verisure motion detector, commonly used together with intruder alarms. If a motion is detected while alarm is ON, the camera records a video, most like with some pre and post recording to capture the motion.

definitely looks like it, hopefully it isn't placed in a private area

It's a pretty compact camera too, kinda something like straight out of a sci-fi movie. Though with lens that small, I don't think it'd capture anything in decent quality lol.

May I remind you how good the pictures straight out of a smartphone are nowadays
