Subject:Electronic device recovered from Caldwell property

A small electronic device recovered from the entrance hallway during the secondary scene examination on 2 November 2024 was submitted for technical examination.

The device had no visible manufacturer markings.

It contained:

  • miniature camera module
  • motion sensor
  • wireless transmission hardware
  • no internal storage media

A lens aperture had been positioned with a clear field of view towards the front door and lower staircase.

The device was connected to the property's electrical supply and capable of continuous operation.

Examination indicates that the unit was configured to transmit externally rather than store recordings locally.

Motion activation would have enabled the device to detect and record persons entering or leaving the property.

No accessible record of the destination server was retained on the device.

The device does not appear on the inventory of electronic equipment supplied by Mrs Caldwell's broadband, security or utilities providers.

Installation date cannot presently be established.

Additional Observation

The unit produces a brief high-frequency acoustic tone during network polling.

The frequency is consistent with the tone reported by PC R. Calloway during the initial scene examination on 22 October.

Further network analysis requested.
