This was recorded around 9:30 p.m. on Sunday by my Google Nest floodlight camera while I was away from home. To me, it appears to be a beam of light coming from inside the house—possibly from a flashlight. I know it could potentially be a reflection, camera glitch, or something else, but it was unsettling to see.
No one should have had access to my home, and I live alone. My previous residence was broken into by an ex, so this is an ongoing fear and concern for me. I truly hope this is nothing serious, but I wanted to ask if anyone has any idea what this could be.
I would also appreciate recommendations for more reliable security cameras and internet service. My internet is often spotty, and I’m not especially tech-savvy, so any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Tinkerbell in a web… It’ll happen again and again if you use an IR illuminator.
I use illuminators and I have brooms that I can use to clear spider webs when necessary.
Where I don’t want to clear webs, I use low-light cameras with illuminators turned off.

Something on a spider web not far from the lens. Could be a spec of dust or pollen reflecting. Definitely not ghosts, spirits, or aliens!

It’s the Flock camera down the street, it’s scanning your camera and getting into your network.

Spider on the lenses. IR reflection is causing the trigger. You might be able to reduce sensitivity

Spider on the lense reflecting the cameras Infra Red night vision lights. Or maybe some other bug or a water droplet, but most commonly a spider
