That’s a super old CCTV cam on a relatively new looking pole. I’m assuming a neighbor put it up as a “deterrent” more then an actual functioning security camera. But if it is functioning. It’s not illegal, but eversource or frontier prob don’t appreciate their pole being drilled into

That pole is atleast 10 years old, just by looking at this picture. Source: I set poles for a living.

Oh I don’t doubt that or your experience at all, I’m just saying that camera is like mid 90’s or older. The camera boxes at my job were installed in 1995 and look more modern.

Yea I’d recommend they call frontier or eversource/UI (whoever owns the pole) and have them remove it. It was most likely not approved to be installed on that pole anyways.

Good idea. I'm not sure who owns it. There is a transformer on it, but also some Comcast stuff. I suppose Eversource would be my first call (assuming they're not too busy fielding calls about their price surge).

I actually entertained the idea of putting a bag over the camera and waiting to see who shows up to remove it. LOL

On the pole where the numbers are located, there’s usually a badge above it that either says ‘SNET’ (frontier) or some form of ‘Eversource’ (Like HELCO, CLP, etc). I also, highly doubt that thing is working too lol cut the wires, no one will know who did it!
