Normally, people can't see inside a home through a peephole, but some malicious actors are learning on the internet how to use a monocular to do so. Then, not only are these perpetrators able to view the interior, they are also recording images of people in their homes.

Many victims of these Peeping Toms might not realize they are being victimized.
