Agreed!!!

Not mentioned to that the security camera is not even weatherproofed Razz

What's going to happen when it falls apart? Keep me posted on that Smile

I think the lot used to be a gas station but it's a used truck lot now. This contraption was installed by the truck lot though.

If they really wanted to put camera's there they should have put in one of those camera poles instead of doing this. Rolling Eyes

That duct tape looks like it could fall at any time now. Shocked

Ooh, that's stylish. Why replace the expensive metal halide lamp & install an expensive outdoor camera housing when you can buy a cheap CCTV camera MV yard light & roll of duct tape for under $50 combined?

Gorgeous... Shocked

That light probably came from the Random junk Divison of Vince Electric Laughing
joe_347V   [Aug 19, 2011 at 06:12 AM]
Laughing What's the model number then? Razz
TiCoune66   [Mar 13, 2012 at 03:03 AM]
Probably something like CR-AP30682/EUJ (Extra Useless Junk) Laughing

Well, there's one thing left to add:
joe_347V   [Jul 25, 2014 at 12:03 AM]
I wonder if this thing fell apart yet. Laughing The streetview from last year shows it falling apart.
streetlight98   [Jul 25, 2014 at 12:49 AM]
LOL Looks like the other one was left alone. I wonder if it still works and if the yardblaster works?

Re on latest Google's Street View: Laughing
GEsoftwhite100watts   [Jan 31, 2015 at 05:11 PM]
I never cease to be amazed by some DIY "installations" Laughing
joe_347V   [Feb 02, 2015 at 04:49 AM]
Surprisingly, the Streetview from August 2014 shows that all this junk is still up. Shocked
streetlight98   [Feb 02, 2015 at 06:47 PM]
Rolling Eyes Laughing
joe_347V   [Jun 23, 2015 at 06:50 PM]
I gotta give em some credit, it's still holding up Laughing Rolling Eyes
streetlight98   [Jun 23, 2015 at 09:09 PM]
Gee how often do they update the streetviews around you? The newest streetviews here are from late 2014 and that's on the freeway. Other than that, everything here is from 2011 or 2012. Laughing
joe_347V   [Jun 30, 2015 at 10:36 PM]
Heh, it used to be every 2-3 years but I think Google has recently decided to update them every spring. Razz

If you go around the GTA you can catch HPS getting changed out and incandescent signals being replaced with LEDs.
Model25FanForever   [Jun 30, 2015 at 11:01 PM]
The LED's especially lol
joe_347V   [Feb 27, 2018 at 08:50 AM]
The pole is still there but the cameras are now gone. According to the streetviews the cameras were either removed or fell down between May and November 2016, lasted surprisingly long for something duct taped to a light. Laughing
Model25FanForever   [Mar 01, 2018 at 12:48 PM]
I guess they realized it wasn't too hidden and have to come up with another security measure, or they seen this photo and realized how obvious it is Laughing Laughing
