A $500 reward is being offered for the capture of a Carlsbad "peeping tom."
The man was caught on security video twice looking into the same family's windows last weekend.
Carlsbad Police have a copy of the videos and are investigating.
Homeowner Graeme Stanners is doing his best to get the word out about the man to his next-door neighbors and those on social media.
We can't show you the man's face, because so far police aren't even calling him a person of interest, but homeowner Graeme Stanners says he caught him in the act of peeping and prowling around his home.
"He just went straight for the window and he was just looking right in the window,” Stanners said.
Stanners identifies the man in the video as 5 feet 8 inches tall with a medium build. He was clean cut wearing logo-branded clothing but was not wearing shoes.
"It just made me feel like he was very brazen and there was a reason he was here at my house," Stanners said.
The video indicates the alleged prowler peeked in Stanners’ living room window around 4:30 a.m. last Saturday morning, and then again shortly after midnight Sunday. The second time Graeme grabbed a bat and his daughter followed.
"I had a lot of things go through my head. The best thing for me really would have been to call the police but I thought I really should try to catch him," Stanners said.
The man had a 10-second head start and was able to escape. But he did not escape Stanner's doorbell camera. The images are enough to put on a flyer now plastered on utility poles all over the neighborhood.
"Maybe they don't have cameras and maybe they aren't willing to chase him down the street and that is the people I would like to help and protect," Stanners said.
His neighbors compared videos from other security devices recording at that time and it appears to everyone that the man was not driving a car. The bare feet may indicate he lives close by.
Nothing was stolen but Stanners has a young daughter. She wasn't harmed but he fears she may be what this prowler is trying to get a look at.
