The dad-of-two was captured in harrowing video stood on his tiptoes with his face covered by a balaclava as he peeped in through the window.
He was then seen putting his phone through a railing to film inside the home.
Durkan’s voyeurism spree across North came to an end when a plain-clothed officer found him loitering outside a home.
Bodycam showed the officer telling Durkan he was under arrest on suspicion of voyeurism.
The creep replied: “Voyeurism?” before being handcuffed and having his phone seized.
Officers later trawled through his phone and found a hidden folder containing 162 videos and 99 photos.

One can be seen in the footage telling Durkan: “With the exception of maybe three images, all of which just appear to be of landscape or generally pointed at the floor, every single image or video is footage or an image taken of a female who appears to be unaware that she is being filmed.”
Durkan has now pleaded guilty to 19 charges of voyeurism at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court.
This was in addition a further seven voyeurism charges Durkan admitted on March 26 – bringing the total number of offences to 26.
Prosecutor Edward Kalber said the fiend posed “a real risk to women and girls in our communities”.
He added: “He was filming them in their private residences in various states of undress.”
The is now working to identify more potential victims after discovering “hundreds of images and videos”.
They are asking women in North London who may have “noticed unusual activity around their home, especially late at night or in the early hours of the morning” between January 2020 and March 2026 to come forward.
A spokesperson said: “Examination of Durkan’s seized devices uncovered extensive evidence of further voyeurism offences, prompting detectives to review historic reports where no suspect had been identified and all viable lines of enquiry exhausted.
“This led to Durkan being linked to offences dating back to January 2020. Detectives are now working to identify additional victims.
“Members of the public are also asked to report suspicious behaviour, such as someone lingering near residential properties, looking through windows, or using a phone or camera.
“Footage captured on doorbell or CCTV cameras could prove vital.”
Durkan, of Islington, North London, will be sentenced on a later date.
