Md. homeowner checks midnight surveillance video, sees naked man rattling door. 

The father of two, asleep next to his wife in their suburban-Washington home, was awakened by a cellphone beep. It signaled a message from his Nest outdoor security system.

“Nest has spotted a person,” it read. He pushed a few buttons, rewinding the recorded video. There was a person all right, and he had no clothes on.

Montgomery County detectives said the naked man tried unsuccessfully to get into the home — in Bethesda, just after midnight May 17 — before a motion light activated and sent him running into the darkness. “He had some odd behavior,” said the homeowner, who works for a software company. “It’s not quite clear what he was up to.”

His home has six cameras inside and outside, linked by sophisticated machine-learning software, running in Cloud computing, which uses algorithms to examine video images — trying to sift through shots of blowing leaves and small animals before issuing alerts about humans.“I’m a bit of a home-automation junkie,” the owner said.

Detectives said they hope someone will recognize the naked man and call with information.

“We don’t know who the suspect is,” said Sgt. Rebecca Innocenti, a police spokeswoman.
