RF Detector?

If you have specific devices, it will be easier to help.
I doubt a neighbor will block that big of a spectrum.
Ok, he seems to be targeting the NVR and cameras. Doesn't seem like anything else has issues. I'm not sure what spectrum would cause issues with the camera system. Sometimes, I turn on the monitor, and the NVR is on a single camera instead of the camera overview screen, other times it is on the playback screen, which requires a password to access.

Here's another thing, he used to play vehicle shuffle on a regular basis. Meaning he moved several vehicles to different positions on his front lawn. Wonder if they may have something to do with finding the best location for RF. Then the vehicles were put in his back yard and the "coil" of wire appeared leaning against the bottom of his fence perpendicular to our house.

Again, this could be an issue with the NVR, but I would like to have peace of mind knowing if there might be RF being emitted.

Do you have any wireless component in your NVR/Cameras setup?
If not, I don't see way he could affect you (unless he is very close to the Ethernet cable), the more probable option is someone hacked your NVR or a a configuration issue.

No wireless components in the NVR/camera system. And the NVR and cameras are not connected to the network or internet. It is a standalone system.

I really believe it is directed RF energy causing the random issues. I say this because my movie film capture machine started dropping frames as of this morning. Something is interrupting the data transfer, slowing or corrupting the data rate causing the dropped frames and it is very random. It will be fine, then drop 4 or 5 frames in a row and then be ok for a period and then drop 4 more. I don't use this machine daily, only when I need to capture film which could be 3 days straight or it may sit for a month or 2 before being used.

I'm going to start with the 3 in 1 EMF, ELF and RF analyzer

This can be a new anti drone weapon if someone got it working.
I doubt your neighbor have these tools, but please update us with your findings.
The old saying, "never underestimate your enemy", holds true here. I have no idea what he is capable of. I have to presume the worst and hope for the best. A little investigative work goes a long way to collecting actual evidence.

I'll update when I have made some scans.

Waiting for the RF analyzer. In the meantime, whatever is causing the odd behavior, it's definitely local since the NVR is not connected to the net. A one in a million chance it is a failing NVR, but I doubt it as I don't think a failing NVR would either choose camera one from the available cameras, or show the main record screen, which again needs a password to access. Someone local is accessing the NVR wirelessly somehow.

And while I was out cutting the grass this morning, when I came in, the monitor was on camera 1 and not the camera overview screen like it is always on. I personally think he seen me out front and decided to pull his little prank.

I never did a damn thing to this guy and he's hell bent on trying to make my life miserable.
