Betcha someone in your area has a wifi network named fbi camera.

And perhaps, someone savvy enough to turn the radio gain up so it travels further.

I’m disappointed I don’t rate. All I see is DavesBookCase, HomeSweetHome, and Snoopy.

People come up with all kinds of crazy for their wi-fi network names. Sometimes it's obvious, like the name of a residence. Others are more clever.

The worst I saw was at a science-fiction convention some years ago. Someone thought they were being very cute when they named their mobile hotspot "HITLER DID NOTHING WRONG".

[ProtectOurFreedom]

You are right. A real FBI network would be named “ThisIsNOTanFBIcamera”

[Ouderkirk]

Anyone with an ounce of brains would tell the system(router) not to display the SSID, and therefore would be invisible if they were interested in true anonymity.

My AP is set to not display the SSID. I prefer it that way.

Fire up Linux and Hack in to it, see what is there.

I saw a flower van with a lot of radio Equipment on top once.

Was it this one?

The password is "Pode$ta".

There have been multiple posts where people use “FBI Surveillance Van #3” to screw with their neighbors. Suggest you change yours to something similar.

Ditto on “Surveillance Van” at my house....red

I’d wager that it was a neighbor having some fun.

I have a little fun with my router, during the election season, I changed my broadcast network name to HillaryForPrison, HillarySucks and such nonsense.

Holy cow - I just clicked on it... and I’m seeing the inside of YOUR house!

[hoosiermama]

Our local bank uses “FBI” in the name of their equipment. Also may be a brinks truck. Someone told me they did too on dash camera

[HeadOn]

If you search for networks here at work, you see one called “Trojan Worm”, and “Virus”. Geek humor. Whatchagonnado?

I hadn’t thought about a “game camera”, in the woods, as one poster suggested, but that sounds like a good explanation. You can see WIFI printers listed with networks. I bet cameras are the same way.

Download WiFi analyzer for your phone. You will easily be able to track it down.

It is definitely NOT for the WiFi drone that ISN’T hovering overhead, because there is NO drone. Got it?

I live in a subdivision that is a dead end road with about 40 houses. I have seen a secured wifi connection ‘FBI surveillance van’ several times in the past three years. I don’t know who in our neighborhood would name something that.

It makes one wonder!
