Okay, I will provide more context. Yes, the camera is outside of an apartment window. There is no shortcut through the parking lot as it is a dead end. We have had more frequent car break ins in our complex over the past few months. I assume that it’s a knife or something because I do not recognize him (it is a small community of condo owners). Those are my cars and he is trying the trunk/door handles. When the camera’s spot light turns on he scurries away towards the larger car away from the spotlight.

Light is one of the best defenses against shit like this. You guys might want to put a few really bright, motion activated ones all along the parking area.

Not 100% effective, but they usually follow the path of least resistance/danger.

he's clearly up to no good because he peers inside the volvo, he's looking for unconcealed bags and other valuables worth stealing.
