    Cameras on a Lamppost - What Are They For?

    Saw this tonight on a lamppost on an A road near me. All black so obviously doesn’t want to stand out and be spotted.

    Anyone know what they are for? Googled it, but nothing similar from the search came up

    Traffic survey cameras apparently. They will probably disappear after they have enough data.

    They may belong to a traffic consultancy firm that are collecting data on traffic movements, parking etc.

    According to authoritative sources these are charging stations for pigeons. It stops the council from having to catch them to change the batteries.

    I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.

    When you look around you’ll see quite a few sensors, cameras and other data collection devices in urban areas.

    Lots going on behind the scenes. Some cities are way ahead of others.
