[Mr. Douglas]

It has to be a signal here, since my work laptop is seeing it too.

[umgud]

Are you a Freeper?

[ealgeone]

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

[marktwain]

Could be an actual surveillence camera. But more likey, it is someone who named their system that, and is in your area.

Real surveillance cameras operating on WiFi would use a innocuous name.

[b4its2late]

Is it password protected?

[TXnMA]

Some joker's name for his game camera setup in the woods near you?

[Celerity]

I have 90 acres of woods surrounding my rural house, and I see others wifis too.

It’s a joke. Surveillance equipment doesn’t connect to a network that also allows other devices on it. Basically, IP pools, static IP and / or a combination of non-broadcast SSID is always in play.

[KarlInOhio]

Do your neighbors have similar large properties? One of the might have a router mounted really high to get more coverage or has swapped in a higher gain antenna than the FCC allows so his whole property is covered and leaks into yours.

[a fool in paradise]

It is mysterious.

Why does the Fuller Brush Incorporated man need a camera or wifi?

[Stentor]

It’s a rather old joke by now.

[deweyfrank]

Mine says “Surveillance Van”. It’s a joke.

[Rapscallion]

Whoa! It looks like you are under surveillance by the FBI. Consider where you travel or have traveled to. Consider friends and acquaintances you communicate with by e-mail. Consider whether a bad guy has stolen your identity. Consider the amount of classified defense information you are cleared for on the job. Consider how many people you number among your friends and live outside the US. Consider who lived in your house before you.

[VTenigma]

The FBI wouldn’t name the FBI camera wifi “FBI camera”.

[shoedog]

Check our Sharyl Attkisson and what they did with her laptop.

[Alberta's Child]

Someone is trolling the neighborhood by setting up their network with that name.

I once stayed in a hotel with free wifi service, and when I turned on my computer to activate the connection I noticed that one of the network connection choices was named "FBI Surveillance Van #5." LOL.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Charge up your laptop, download and install a program called “Xirrus WiFi Inspector” and then hit the road. You will be able to find the source of that wifi signal by viewing Xirrus. It has a radar-like display and will show relative strength of incoming wifi signals. Start taking pics when you get to the source and see what you can see.

[RightGeek]

You can name your WiFi network anything. One of your neighbors is a comedian.

[Perseverando]

Before the 2016 election I changed by Wifi Guest account to “Hillary for Prison 2016” for the edification of liberal neighbors when they were going online.

[LakeEffectLad]

Could it be the SSID on a “MyFI” from a cell phone?

[Terry Mross]

A friend drove me up an old logging road in the Ozark Mountains and showed me a camera mounted on a tree in the wilderness. He thinks it belongs to the Game and Fish Commission. Guess they want to make sure you don’t kill more squirrels than your daily limit. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

[batterycommander]

Its a brand name for a surveillance camera. Check eBay and see hundreds for sale.
