Its looks like a camera that the military uses which we refered to as a SLRTI I forget the whole Accrynm we just called them Super LRTI
Its a long range color /IR camera that I think could see up to 20miles
However it looks upgraded!

I belive the point is to keep unwanted trespassers and rodents out of the facinity of a secret and private military/government complex.
I could be off though

Is there any value to concertina wire on the ground? Seems to me you could just step on it.

The other problem is the concertina wire on the ground will probably not be very compatible with Medlin's cattle.

I just watched the Area 51 movie, perhaps it's an additional deterrent to would be movie inspired attempts at infiltration.

This movie. Worth watching. I found myself saying, ''that's just like...that happened to me''. Also interesting for the factual basis, like the areas and security.

I totally forgot about that movie. OK, OK, I was really trying to forget about that movie.
But now that you mention it, I think you are 100% spot on. The base probably expects more visitors, at least at the well known front and back gate. So they need better tools to track the "visitors." This might explain the temporary nature of the gear. That is, the yahoos will probably be plentiful this summer until the novelty of the movie wears off.
I suggest visiting the Range 61 gate. At least you make the dudes do some work.
Look for Range 61 here:

The road to the Range 61 gate is decent. The only risk with going out that way is few tourists travel the road.
