The president of a homeowners association faces four felony charges for installing a video camera inside a condominium without the owner’s permission, focused on the master bedroom.
According to investigators, 59-year-old Robert William Orr, the President of the Matanzas Shores Homeowners Association turned himself in at the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility on Tuesday, where he was booked on four counts of video voyeurism.
He has since been released after posting a $20,000 bond.
The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) was first notified of this incident on August 30, 2022, from a female victim who did a weekend stay at a condo.
As she was packing up to leave, she discovered a plugged-in USB camera hidden inside an indoor flower pot located in the master bedroom she was sleeping in.

FCSO’s Major Case Unit examined the camera and found that it contained video of two people in various stages of undress inside the condo, including the female who filed the report and a male who was also staying in the condo that weekend.
It also contained videos of Orr testing the camera inside his own condo before it was placed in the flower pot.
“This pervert installed video cameras in a condo that he was a caretaker for so that he could view people inside without their knowledge or consent,” said Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly. “It’s a disgusting invasion of privacy. Our Major Case detectives did great work to get this pervert in handcuffs and taken to the Green Roof Inn.”
The condo owner told detectives that the condo is usually unoccupied but she does allow people to stay there at times as guests. The condo owner confirmed that Orr was allowed access to that condo to check on its condition since she lives out of state.
Detectives obtained a search warrant for Orr’s residence where they found several spy cameras along with other kinds of electronic devices. Those devices are being analyzed by FCSO’s Digital Forensics Unit.

“I’m urging anyone who has allowed Orr unsupervised access into their home to check for secret recording devices and to contact us right away if they find anything suspicious,” Sheriff Staly added. “At this time, the evidence suggests that Robert Orr acted alone.”
Matanzas Shores Property Management has cooperated fully with FCSO in this investigation.
Orr has no prior criminal record in Flagler County.
