Saw a post on reddit about someone watching this box get installed on a power pole in their town. One commenter explained this is a PTZ camera and they are being installed all over the country. The high voltage sticker is over glass with the camera behind it. I confirmed this and have seen several myself now. Many are open to the public with no passwords. Several I saw are pointed at apartment complexes or similar but many are pointed at specific houses. The zoom capability allows you to see right into peoples windows. I'm guessing no warrant, and being that its high up on a telephone pole, the expectation of privacy doesnt fit if you can't see from the street. Pretty disturbing that they exist, even more so that these fools are leaving them open to the internet for anyone to access. At least #flock dont disguise their cams but that will probably change as these are similar to flocks condor cams.

Local PD? #ice ?
