Streelight Surveillance Camera: K Street, NW & 13th Street, NW (Washington, DC)

There are many beige cameras sprouting on lightpoles throughout the District. Here's another, apparently of the same ilk: www.flickr.com/photos/takomabibelot/310667952

 

Whose are they?

 

- This is not a Metropolitan Police Department "Neighborhood Camera" [1] ... although there is one of those on N. Cap at the corner of K Street;

- This is not a Metropolitan Police Department "Red Light Camera" [2];

- This is not one of those gray Capitol Hill cameras [3] whose antennae point towards the US Capitol Police Station.

 

So whose are they? How long have they been up? Are they proliferating?
