[Cam Plus is Turning One!]( Cam Plus is officially one year old this week!

This is our second time documenting the hidden world of squirrels versus bird feeders. Would be great to make this a regular feature. Get off my lawn, punks! [I Made A People-Detecting Lawn Sprinkler]( Wyze Cam keeping an eye on Ryder’s new grass. In our DI-Wyze of the Month, a YouTuber who goes by [Ryder Calm Down rigged his sprinkler to run people off his grass]( using Wyze AI. Ryder spends half this video humming and hawing about the ethics of what he’s doing as if he were inventing nuclear weapons, but then demonstrates, yet again, the power of smart technology to automate things that old people used to have to do in person. With this tool, they can focus even more on the things they love. What’s more ethical than that? Tales of the Demon Blimp Meanwhile, on Reddit, a user named Better Doge shared quite possibly the most unsettling footage ever captured by a Wyze Cam at 4:30am: pretty clear we’ve got a beleaguered birthday balloon here who waited until the kids were asleep to make a break for it. Please do not make eye contact with the unicorns [Fight with a unicorn]( In an effort to cast light on the little-known dark side of unicorns, [a Facebook user named Richie Trice shared the moment]( he politely asked one of these lounging, pink-haired primadonnas to scooch over a tad so he could clean its pool. The results speak for themselves, and demonstrate yet again why Noah left these guys off the ark. How to fall in love And finally, [CTV News brings, from Montreal, some amazing Wyze-captured footage]( of a publicly affectionate young couple who decided independently to take their passion to the next level and get a room. Unfortunately, that room was located on the other side of the plate glass storefront behind them. Say what you will about the window, the way the quick-thinking boyfriend breaks for it and leaves his girlfriend sitting in the shards, it’s hard to say what’s the most shattered thing in this video.
