Doesn’t look like any weather sensor is there to me.
Surface Temperature sensors (infrared) look like cameras or like a brick with a hole in it as well and are used for efficient winter maintenance
My country have them as well (it is a kit from a local provider). But of course my country sneeky deployed a Chinese smart cloud cam on top as well (a Hikvision Cam).
You even see the hikvison cam on the Website of decentlab, but when you click on the kit, you see, that the cam is not part of it.
Perhaps it’s a bit pedantic, but I’d consider that a road sensor not a weather sensor. Road condition and a webcam is related to weather but not one of the primary instruments like a barometer, anemometer, thermometer, rain gauge, etc.
I see what you’re saying though, it could be one of those road sensors.
