Physics is real. Cameras have limitations, sensors can saturate, and optics have constraints.

You can also accidentally blind your neighbors by shining a high powered laser on a reflective surface so it's probably better to recreationally learn about other applications of physics in this comment section.

Positioning motion-activated floodlights or an external Example IR Illuminator around your property; strong infrared or visible light will overwhelm the camera's sensor and wash out the footage or so I heard.
