What the heck is it?

An admin assistant at work was cleaning out one of the unused offices today.  Nobody had been using the office for a number of years and it had kind of become a dumping ground for furniture and stuff that people didn't want in their offices any more.  It's not too uncommon to come across some unusual items when cleaning such rooms out

Is there a brand name anywhere on the long-barrel thingy? What does the funny-shaped lens cap say on it?

Maybe this is an early attempt to combine a DSLR and video camera in one? *chuckles*

I took a few more pictures this morning.

The lens cap just has a logo on it

I don't recognize it, but just eyeballing it I'd venture to guess that the long housing is a surveillance camera and that the Nikon is remote controlled to take (clear) still images of whatever the person manning the surveillance camera finds useful. --> A custom rig.

not sure?

Must have something to do with using heavy flash and making the picture have that white out look ...thats my guess anyways.
