Weird though. Who took the video? mdelaguna Feb 2021 #2
That is a very good question, indeed. MineralMan Feb 2021 #3
Likely an installed camera on a street light or other building; no shaking brooklynite Feb 2021 #4
The video at the link is wider, and covers the door of the neighbouring house muriel_volestrangler Feb 2021 #6
It looks like a recording from a security camera. It seemed too steady ... JustABozoOnThisBus Feb 2021 #5
Too steady and the camera is too high. Mariana Feb 2021 #7

Instead of filming, that person could have gone to her aid, possibly with the help of the postal worker.

I would never have taken my cell phone out of my pocket, and would have done whatever I could to help the woman get up safely.

I'm sure it's a fixed security camera (note how the straight lines are bowed, indicating a wide-angle lens, and the centre of the original picture is to the right of the embedded video). The embedded YouTube video is a clipped section of it.

Unless someone is levitating or perched on a ladder, there isn't any person holding that camera.
