Caught on Camera: When the Installer Becomes the Prank Victim

Martin Pharand

At First Born Son Home Services, we pride ourselves on helping homeowners catch both the expected and the unexpected moments life throws their way. Whether it's keeping an eye on deliveries, protecting your property from intruders, or simply having peace of mind knowing your home is secure — the right camera setup makes all the difference.


But sometimes, even the pros get caught off guard.


The other evening, I found myself on the other side of the lens — the victim of a classic prank: Nikki Nicky Nine Door (or Ding Dong Ditch, depending on where you're from). That’s right — despite having a fully integrated Reolink NVR system, complete with the Duo 2 camera, the Reolink Video Doorbell, and the powerhouse outdoor PTZ camera, I was still the target of some good old-fashioned mischief.


The prankster might have been quick, but not quicker than the cameras. Thanks to the high-resolution footage and multiple angles captured by my setup, I not only caught the moment they pressed the doorbell and bolted but also tracked their getaway route with the PTZ camera, we also got names with the clear audio🤣


It’s a hilarious reminder that while technology keeps us one step ahead, life always finds a way to surprise us.


The real takeaway? Security cameras don’t just capture the serious stuff — they also preserve those everyday moments, the funny, the unexpected, and the downright silly. Whether it’s catching a bear wandering through the backyard, a kid pulling off a prank, or just keeping an eye on who’s at the door, your camera system works 24/7 so you never miss a thing.


If you're looking to step up your home security or simply want to make sure you never miss life’s unexpected moments, give us a shout. We’ll design a system tailored to your home — so you're ready for whatever (or whoever) comes knocking.


Stay safe, stay secure, and maybe keep an eye out for those pranksters!
