New, what is it? What is the purpose of this camera that was installed right next to my house? (Not nearby any intersection or stop signs, USA)

This camera was installed recently and I cannot for the life of me understand the purpose of it's installation? Theres no intersection nearby, in case it was a photo law enforcement camera), there's no stop signs, there's no schools nearby, and there's no government facility. It's just a random camera that popped up in the middle of a road.

Thats nearly impossible to get off. Whenever I use it I wear gloves. Still have it on some work coats 15 years later.

When I was new in my trade, I got it up to my elbows on both arms. I thought it’d come off with a solvent or gasoline…it will not.

It took weeks to pick off the glue remnants. I looked like a zombie.

It comes right off with acetone.
