Any thought on what this thing is? I presume there's a camera in there, not sure who makes the enclosure. Thanks.

Jul 23, 2018The image is found on this website, but I am not sure if it is the original source. If so, maybe it contains some power control equipment for the solar panel? http://www.crcservice.com/Shelbyville-TN-CCTV.html

Jul 23, 2018It looks like a wifi AP antenna hung face up, with the 'lens' being a plastic knockout plug.
Surely I'm wrong, but that doesn't look like a camera lens in this image.

Jul 23, 2018I agree that's what the housing looks like, interestingly it shows up on this website too: Security Lighting
You can make out where a wire may have been pushed through the black grommet 'lens'
It initially looked like some kind of traffic red light plate capture setup to me.

Jul 23, 2018Looks like a solar powered time lapse construction camera to me. I think Sensera used to use that housing, although I can't find a form factor that looks like that on their website now.

Jul 23, 2018Update: it's almost certainly a Sensera MC-60 series construction camera, with an IR illuminator hung off the bottom.

Jul 24, 2018On the topic of ugly housings, here is one I caught at a hotel recently.
It is an ugly smoked dome, with a box camera housing sprouting off the side...

Jul 24, 2018Looks like something Ritz Dreyer would post for his #cctvfail contests.

Jul 24, 2018Thinking of Ritz, I specifically took this photo on a recent vacation in Maine. Notice the box camera housing that I assume is supposed to be pointing at the gate. Instead it is looking up a building or in the sky...

Jul 25, 2018Here is another one. I can't figure out what this is.... What a strange form factor for a camera. Miami airport.

Jul 25, 2018That looks like a fire alarm beam detector to me. I can't place it, but I'm pretty sure I've seen that model before. Next time you see one, if you look directly opposite the unit, there should be a receiver or a reflector, depending on the manufacturer.
Also could be a long range PIR. But again, can't place it.
