  The device itself is an SSG Pole Camera, which is a common platform used by police forces across the country. Fun fact, it comes with a little generic RF keyfob that remotely power cycles it. https://paste.pics/c401ecf58e05477b51bdf0b849756860 https://paste.pics/c401ecf58e05477b51bdf0b849756860

    So you're saying I can build a thing that reboot-loops all hidden cameras within a radius around me?

      Sounds like you're throwing a challenge to the Hackaday types out there. And amusingly enough, using cheap hardware to mess with RF devices around you reminds of Steve Lord's hilarious/informative/vicious "Cider Kill-chain" talk.[0] Since attacks only improve over time, the code golf to make the devices more effective could prove quite entertaining to watch - from a safe distance. 0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIRlFSIngfE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIRlFSIngfE

        Thanks for the link, I love watching these sorts of talks.

        I am the hackaday types on here! If someone has a sample of one of those remotes I'd love to rev-eng it.

They're also using Wago 222[0] style lever nuts, which are not common in the US. In my experience, US electricians use twist-style wire caps instead to create junctions.

  They're awesome, so much better than twist-ons. Fully approved in the US, just more expensive up front.

    Yes, they are rather expensive, but nothing IMHO beats them, I first saw them a few years ago (the 222 type) in the hands of electricians working for musical events/stage settings, then I bought a set of 221 type and simply fell in love with them, they are very, very handy and safer (besides faster in installation) than both twist-ons (which are not very used here in Italy) and screw connectors which are normal here. Recently a reknown Italian manufacturer[0] started producing similar ones and they are getting more common.

  I live in the US and use Wago lever nuts. Agree that they aren't common but they are easily purchased on Amazon and other sites. And electrical supply houses can usually get them too.

    I wish they were more common here. I haven't had much problem getting the lever nuts, but the junction boxes [0] seem really hard to find. The few Amazon sellers I've ordered from all ship them from Europe. [0] https://www.screwfix.com/p/wagobox-junction-box/7355f https://www.screwfix.com/p/wagobox-junction-box/7355f
