"The lens of the camera was facing her bedroom," the affirmation read. "The victim believed an individual placed the spy camera outside her bedroom window in order to surreptitiously record her inside her bedroom, where she had a reasonable expectation of privacy."

Police said the spy camera was recording for more than two hours before it was spotted, per The New York Post.
