"I guess ALL that sez is: I don't worry about cameras in MY area. Maybe I should...but I just don't."
, so I walk
Guys, I agree with Tanner. Today, almost everyone has a camera in their phone and takes photos of almost everything. I drive nude quite a bit. In the past five years, only one other driver has spotted me, a trucker beside me, as we crept through a construction zone on an interstate highway. His smile told me he enjoyed it. I will also add that most people today are way too busy playing with their phones while driving and never seem to notice anything around them.
In the 80s, when I started walking, there were no ring cameras or cell phones. I rarely encountered anyone other than the two I described in the earlier post; times were great back then for naked walks.
I do respect the current times and the prevalence of cameras everywhere. One of my favorite walks is just a block away. It is a dead-end street, approximately half a mile long, with a cul-de-sac at the end. It is a relatively new development of duplex townhomes for seniors. The walk to the end is nice, and doubly so on the return, passing the identical houses twice. There are maybe 7-8 cameras that I have noticed on doors. I was nervous at first, but figured, why would they be set to record things passing in the street? I walk in the center of the street, and so far, I have had no issues. However, the last time it rained, I walked the entire route along the street's edge, splashing the standing rainwater with my feet as the rain dripped off my ecstatic body.
I avoid businesses that I know have cameras, but I also keep in mind that they are usually not monitored unless there is a problem. I have refueled naked many times without being detected.
The one camera in which I know was activated by my presence was a Ring doorbell on an apartment where the door faced the door of the apartment we were staying in as a holiday rental. The first thing I knew about it was that, was as I left 'our' apartment nude for my early-morning walk. It activated the lights around the button putting my backside at the centre of a minor light show in the pre-dawn darkness. It didn't stop me repeating my behaviour on subsequent days since I figured I'd already been captured and I was less concerned in a holiday location rather than home. I did find that sliding through our doorway sideways was sometimes enough to prevent it triggering.
Near home I am more concerned since I figure it's more likely someone might get back to me, so I stay dressed until further away if I plan on a nude night walk. Some cameras have lights and sound that indicate when they are triggered, and some do activate when walking past on the footpath. I've taken to walking along the centre of the road when it's quiet, even when dressed, as I hate triggering cameras and sensor lights every time I pass regardless.

Steve, back in the computer Stone Age (late 1990's) when I was doing the Lock-out game and other dares with the "Bare As You Dare" gang, only the very wealthy would have had "security" cameras on their property, and those kinda folks didn't live in MY neighborhood! LOL.
All kidding aside, fast-forward to the 2000's, and all types of cameras abound, from doorbell security cameras to "everyone's" phone camera.
Add driveway sensor security lights and going for nude walks in certain areas can pose quite a challenge!
I live in a very quiet neighborhood, on a dead-end residential street. A great many of my neighbors are retired and go to bed early...so by about 10 p.m. most of the houses in the area have gone dark and silent. One of the neighbors, across the street and one house up, recently had a
driveway security light installed. I have yet to test the range of its sensors, but I will certainly do that with clothes on BEFORE I venture toward HIS house naked!
During the warmer months (it's still winter here in Oz) there is a small park in my area that I enjoy walking around and through, naked. To reach the pathway that leads to the park, I have to walk past residences 5 on my street, and I are PRETTY sure none of them have doorbell OR security cameras.
It is unfortunate to the Nth Degree that, in this day and age, when "we" claim to be so accepting of all sorts of alternate lifestyles, taking a casual stroll, nude, has to be done under cover of darkness so "society" can be protected from being offended by our nudity! Still, if one is going to walking around nude late at night, it is probably better to err on the side of CAUTION...than to be confronted by some irate/offended
moralistic citizen!
Plan walks to avoid confrontation. Stay SAFE. And stat NUDE!
Cheers!
