Spyware/stalkerware?

Someone has been trying to break into my home so I have been recording videos. I noticed that sometimes the screen will get blurry and hard to see while recording then will clear back up mostly and I can see images of people and things that move but are transparent and not there when you look with your eyes. Does anyone know what's going on or how this is possible.
 
It sounds like you need to call Ghostbusters.

Not knowing what type of dwelling you have, or why so many people would be moving around, it's hard to give you a definite answer. If you live in a large apartment building, it's likely that your network is on the same channel as a nearby network. Try going into your router and changing the channel to something less congested.

If you're worried about someone breaking in, I suggest reinforcing with Door Sentinel - all of our exterior doors have this. Good luck kicking a door in with the deadbolt locked.
 
This is a serious forum right? Yes the home is residential it happens occasionally with anything I try to record with but all the cameras go through my phone's and I have different types of phones the moving people aren't really there some kind of overlay? I think someone is trying to block out what's going on behind the overlays? But unsure
 
Plus I should add that 4 of the image people I know and a few others I dont

a little more context the 4 I know is my ex who never gives up trying to get me back with him, my sister and 2 of their friends and 2 others I don't know I broke up with my bf for cheating on me w I believe my sister and a few others sand alot of what the images depict really bug me. So I figure they are involved but what I need to know is how are they doing it and is there a way to block it
 
I imagine that with a little effort someone could be jamming or attempting to jam your wireless connection(s).

Try placing cameras where they can not be seen, and use wired connections wherever possible.

A jammer can be battery powered and mobile, so if they are using such a device then they could just be bringing it with them.

Just going by your description of the situation, this sounds more like to be a matter of the webcams you're using just can't do what you're expecting. This wouldn't be some kind of 'hack' issue nor a failure of the webcams themselves, it's just that a lot of consumer-level, off-the-shelf webcams have inherent limitations. The motion-detecting sensors and recording sensors are usually good in daylight situations but performance drops significantly at night, but it's typical for there to be a noticeable lag while the sensors try to assess what's detectable and the auto-focusing of the lens and/or aperture. If these are just common webcams, you'll need to upgrade to something more capable or reset your expectations on what they can provide. If these are however higher-grade webcams, there's likely to be sensor adjustment settings in the camera settings menu. (... which might be something to look into no matter what webcams you have). Most webcams have detection level options (i.e. really sensitive so even when a cat walks past will trigger auto-activating or not too much so only something like a vehicle passes by gets recorded.)
