Awful support is what that and several other memes seem to indicate. . .

We have installed remote site monitoring stuff, including cameras, all around around the world for our customers. We use Axis and HikVision mostly unless customer rejects them(usually dont).

my question: how does This not look serious?
If it were me looking up and seeing one of these cameras I would probably stop what I am doing..
Seriously, Ubiquiti makes some of the most serious looking cameras out there. No idea what to do if those don't cut it.

That looks like something abandoned and retired years ago, but left up because everyone was too lazy to take it down and they were hoping that leaving it there, even dead, would do something.

But it looks tough... (Cause it's old bulky and dirty)

I was getting ready to steal a pen from work, and after seeing that camera, I put it back.

I would assume that camera can stay up through the storm, unless the tower itself falls.

I typically run with Dahua (or Hikvision in a pinch) mixed with their own branded NVRs or, if software based, BlueIris.
Both models of cameras are professional grade and look the part but can be a little costly.
The Dahua cameras have several models with the "Starlight" sensor which makes low light situations look fantastic and easy to identify.
Check out https://ipcamtalk.com for tons of reviews, footage, etc of many different cameras.
Dahua aren't usually sold to "end users" in North America but there's a guy on Alibaba that ships straight from China cheaply and with NA firmware. He's highly used on IPCamTalk and I've personally purchased a few dozen cameras from him. https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1859367
