it looks like an antenna of some sort, might be to do with the traffic light systems as an uneducated guess

Though it looks liek the antenna is pointing at the ground ?

If we are talking about the object above and slightly to the left of the camera, I have seen those devices on the M4 motorway just west of the tollgates, on the airborne section above parramatta rd/church street. Suspect that they maybe some sort of automated counting system to determine flow of traffic.

Ha, so everytime a truck goes through there with its exhaust brakes screaming it would trigger the camera?
