I work for a company that makes security cameras and we also make radars as a supplement to the cameras. The purpose of the radar is to tell PTZ cameras where objects are so they can pan/rotate to the correct spot as quickly as possible.
In this case these look like fixed cameras so I don’t think it’s a radar.
I would assume, considering the climate these cameras are in that this is some kind of weather sensor.
Considering the size of it, it probably has a few features to it.

Doesn’t look like any weather sensor is there to me.

The large flat one looks like radar to me. I hadn't heard of radar being used with PTZ cameras. But you can also use it standalone to measure traffic flow. If it isn't radar, it's *something* with a large, flat antenna (probably a phased array). The other two options I can think of are a long-range RFID scanner or a point-to-point network connection.
