What is this black thing, roughly the size of a coffee mug, cylindrical in shape, attached to a circular bracket, on the side of my neighbours house? Its position can be adjusted, doesn’t light up or make noise. Not sure on weight as it is fixed to the wall. We think that it’s plastic.

Many things are transparent to infrared that are not transparent in optical light, especially black plastics. It could still be a camera.
