as an answer if i get caught it will be jail time for 1-3 years
they don't do helicopters or thermal imaging just someone reports me , so i just want to hide if someone reports me and they get on my door they can't find them or they find just a normal pc

Probably your power company going to report you , because you are going to use to much electricity , way over the average household usage around your location.
Doesn't matter where or how you hiding your rig , or camouflaged your setup.

Im in the USA, but when i started to use my home mining setup , with around 150A power draw , few months later some officers was knocking on my door , and asked me about what's going on , do i growing weeds ?

so i give them a tour in my small mining room , after that , never heard about them again ... later in the coming months , years , Power company persons come to my house a , bc the of the smart meter at my location reported overheating

Each of your 1060 GTX , with the right tune can draw somewhere between 70-90 watts , its just the card itself , so add few extra watts / rigs for motherboard/ cpu memory etc...
I'm assuming you have 2 rig with 8 cards each , so each rig is pulling around 600-750 watts , so in your case that's a max 1500 watts or 1.5KW / hours.

so if those agents going to your house , and your rigs hidden , you probably need to explain to them why is your power usage is high

Solution No 1 :
Solution During winter time :
Install a space heater ( but never use it ), if there is a winter in your country

, and tell those agents , you feel cold all the times and your space heater must be on all the time

( actually your mining rig basically is a space heater , so somehow you will be honest with those agents
Solution during summer time :
Install a window AC unit around 1500w rated power usage, but never use it , if those agents going to your house, tell them that's the ac what drawing that much power ...

As some other members mentioned , if your country really want to crack down on miners , sooner or later they going to analyze your IP traffic log , and from there they easily can find out , you are connected to a mining pool , so go ahead and set up a good vpn connection with a good firewall , use pfsense or opensense for self build. use different DNS that your ISP using as a default ...

And after all this , ask yourself a question , all this worth it to mine with 12 1060GTX , risk your freedom , spend some times in jail , or it would be a better solution to sell your cards , your rigs , and buy some coin and hold it , sell it when you need some money or when coin prices are up .

Solution No 2 :
Go completely off the gird , detailed info, suggestions HERE

, use solar panel , wind turbines , but make sure you have a good cell phone connection , so you can use a mobile hotspot to connect your rigs

1500 watts per hour is a small amount of electricity consumption for an apartment in a very hot country.
Problems arise if neighbors write a statement to the police on you, then the police will already know what to look for, or they can then come with checks.
The most important thing is that no one should see this equipment.
