The way I see it the Operator cannot control whether you see him or not, he can be seen by anyone through a camera or without, but what he does is wipe the memory of the person having seen him which would explain why he doesn't make much effort to hide as when he comes into contact with someone he just removes their memory of them having seen him.

I think that he has probably been stalking people this way for a long time, maybe hundreds of years and possibly he's been stalking Alex from childhood, TO may not be too familiar with video cameras as the widespread availability of them is fairly recent in his terms and he may not have realised at first that his image had been recorded and that Alex was aware of him and if Alex wasn't a film student shooting rolls and rolls of film for his movie then Alex may have never been aware of him.

Like the said thoery about not controlling who views him.

My theory is that TO has a sort of 'glammor' that allows him to mentaly convince people (though perhaps not animals) that he's not there. The problem is that this only works passivly and while he is in someone's immediate presence so once outside of that feild of influence people can notice the strange thing on the camera.

Also like some creepypastas like to say, if you can see the unseen world they can see you. So maybe seeing TO causes him to be able to see you with his own eyes or even your own mental map of yourself (which might explain the mask's use against him - he doesn't quite grasp the concept of the removable face) with those closest and clearest (Like the MH gang) and those more removed being more blurred (like us viewers). So our tall dark and faceless friend is going to go for the clearest targets and when he's done, he'll come for the blurrier ones.

Checking theory we know Rocky the dog saw him but rest is fine logic.
