What could this be used for?

Just wondering what this would be used for folks.
It's certainly not new, but I only spotted it for the first time today in Irvine.

It's mounted on the end of a building as you enter the shopping centre.

It faces towards the main street, not the shopping centre.

Any ideas?

Just curious and couldn't think of what it would be used for.

It's wired into a large telecoms cabinet.
(forgot to take a piccy) :rolleyes:
 
I think its an old version of this. Point to point network link. Often used to link remote CCTV cameras. The 3rd image of the round device is a light sensor usually used to turn street lighting etc on when it gets dark.

Oh yes, it does look like those paulg0.

Not sure if there are CCTV cameras around that area, not checked though, so there may well be, will check next visit.

Thanks for your input paulg0, never even thought of CCTV. (y) 😊

Thanks Dave _ & Brumski, it does sound likely it was / is used for CCTV.
Next job is to check for nearby CCTV. 😁

The things you can get roped into.:rolleyes:😊

I had a wee look this morning when I was in Irvine paulg0, and it does actually face directly onto a CCTV unit on the corner of a building, so you were spot on what it was used for.(y)
