Yeah, can I get about 10 of those cans to stock?
Also, how did you get the photo to post now that Photobucket doesn't work?

Does the power come directly from the meter box?

Thoughts about what?
The pine tree needles need to be cleaned up.

Also, how did you get the photo to post now that Photobucket doesn't work? Finz, Scroll to that post and hit Quote. You'll see a URL inside some stuff like "img src." Copy that stuff down. Find an image online, right click on it to copy the image's URL, and enclose that URL with the img src etc stuff. One caution -- if you do this in word, Word may give you left quotation marks and right quotation marks instead of plain old bisexual (ahem) quotation marks. You need the plain ones for this to work. Save this info somewhere. I've got a few more details to add, which I'll do later.

The pine tree needles need to be cleaned up. That was my initial thought too, but pine needles (and the implied nearby pine tree) tend to suppress miscellaneous vegetation growth that would need to be supervised from time to time.

Is it also a "smart" meter? They blast the RF.

Save this info somewhere. I've got a few more details to add, which I'll do later. Ernie, some days Im amazed that you work with technology. I could be incorrect, but Im pretty sure that the picture that grasshopper posted wasnt something he just found on the internet. Im pretty sure he took the picture himself, and then posted it. Everyone used to use photobucket to host their personal photo and generate a URL to post the photos in forums. Photobucket started charging for that feature. So grasshopper, how did you get your photo to post?

So grasshopper, how did you get your photo to post? Yes, I did post it to facebook just because I had never posted a photo here and needed a place to host it because I knew that it needed to be hosted online somewhere to be shared here. Yeah, I took the photo. Well, my coworker did and sent it to me. For the other stuff, a reminder that I'm a total amateur compared to a lot of you. That isn't how we found the box, but I wanted a picture of it to see what you guys thought. I wanted it open so that you could see that it was a wifi system in place, but the gear in the box just fell right out like that (very crappy work in my opinion. Nothing mounted to anything, just plugged up and shoved into a box...apparently a very nice one, since some of you are asking about/interested in the box). Again, I'm a total amateur as compared to some (probably most) of you. I thought it was curious that someone would mount wifi network equipment practically on a power meter, because interference. Also, in the picture, it may be too small to notice, but that's a piece of Meraki outdoor equipment. I had asked about Meraki equipment before and got mostly glowing reviews, but then there was the fact that it was being used with a cheap linksys router you could get at walmart for 60 bucks or so. So, there are multiple things to notice in the picture I guess. Some people apparently think there's nothing wrong with this? If there's not, please tell me why. Like I've said from day one, I'm no expert and I'm here to learn. I think the work itself is crappy, I realize that if you put new racing tires on your 1970 pinto it isn't going to go any faster, and I thought that, via potential interference, it would be a bad idea to mount this stuff right on the back of a power meter. Also, I don't know what kind of box it is, but we use similar ones that seem to be of the highest quality and I'll try and remember to get the details next time I'm there.

OK, the question that has to be asked before answering any of your questions, why is the equipment mounted in a weather proof box outside?
Sometimes we do things not because it's the right way, but because there isn't another option. I have a similar setup that I posted about back in the beginning of the summer. On a property that is basically a private family RV park, the meter, breaker panels, and telco demarc are mounted outside. I have two weatherproof boxes on the same board. One box has a power supply and UPS to power the telco fiber box and a wifi router. The other box has an Arlos camera Bridge.

My thought is that I could clean that right up in photoshop.
