OK, I think I'm losing it. At one time this camera was a pan tilt
zoom. I know so because it tracked us when we had a large group out
there. Now I'm looking at the photographs, and it is not a PTZ. Even
more puzzling, there are no solar cells or wiring.
Now there are two antennas on this setup. One microwave dish, and one
VHF or UHF yagi. Is it possible they blast the camera with microwaves,
convert that power, then beam back the video on the yagi?
The writing on the camera is Cohu, which is the brand of camera. Very
typical around the range.
It's a dummy,you can see the coax to the yagi is cut,convert
power,wishful thinking !

Yes, I see that now. I'm guess then that the box has a gel cell, and
they just turn the camera on when needed. A low duty cycle means the
battery would last a long time. And it's not like the dudes couldn't
swap out batteries as needed.
