I had mentioned my transformer was rusted, and I would post pictures of it. It took me a bit to get to it, and in that time somebody tried to paint the transformer with some black spray paint, but apparently the paint ran out before they finished, so you can still see some of the rust. Also they stenciled on a number for the transformer, which may or may not relate to the actual size of the transformer. Following will be pictures of my transformer, followed by by well-painted, relatively new-looking transformer, which looks like every other transformer on my road, except mine. After that, I will include the comm lines off the two polls on each corner of the property, first, the one pole for my house on one corner, and then the one for the neighbors. I blacked out some stuff from the neighbor’s house which might have been useful to locating the poles in some of those photos. Finally, I will include something installed on the comm line as it passes in front of my house. I would disregard it, but as you will see it is held together by electrical tape, and one thing I have noted about surveillance pole guys is their work is often half-assed, compared to the Utility pole guys. Where a union utility pole guy will just take overtime to properly waterproof something, or link things together, surveillance pole guys seem to want to just get in and out, so one sign of surveillance may be stuff which is waterproofed by wrapping a garbage bag around it and duct taping it, or a router in which the wires going into it first form a massive birdsnest, before somehow emerging from the birdsnest to find their proper position in the router.
First, my transformer, freshly painted, apparently, though with the wrong color:
Now a neighbor’s transformer, which basically looks like all the other transformers on the road, which is quite a few:
Now the comm devices on my pole on one side of the property:
The neighbor’s comm hookups on the opposite property line. Interestingly they also have a small satellite dish on their house, which does not appear to be a regular Viasat, DISH, or DirectTV dish. I am not sure what Hughes looks like:
The pipe and wires which go down the pole and into the ground:
And finally, the thing in the middle of my property which is held together by electrical tape:
I am not a specialist in this stuff, and even if I was, I am sure surveillance tries to make it look like legitimate equipment. But if anyone knows about it and something looks weird, please leave a comment.
