Well what I can tell from the picture is it is a standard cam. That is it has been brought into the house and is sitting on the hall table while it is being pondered and inspected. It is sitting right next to the wifes plant that she treats with the same loving care that the cam recieves. I can also tell it is not a F cam because they are not allowed into the yard let alone the house! but the maker or duration is a lose to me.
