Looks like a Flock Condor PTZ to me. Not just any PTZ camera, (has LPR and people-tracking tech built-in) though the design and intent is similar. Commonly installed around crosswalks and parks where changing the point of view could sometimes be necessary to observe specific gatherings/incidents, rather than the ones Flock also sells that stay mounted in a fixed point on main roads.

Notice the exact same shape of the white dome above the camera ball, the same visible "rail" lines on the ball, how there's an identically-sized and shaped plate covering the black rectangle on the base in OP's second photo that I've added below as well, and how it has the same size and width mounting bracket, with identical screw mounts.

Wow thanks for this!

I'll go back sometime with my DSLR. I'll be able to read the stickers and such then and get the final answer

The yellow stickers are also present in some Flock marketing materials, so I'd definitely recommend getting a good shot of the sticker.

And if it does seem to be a Flock camera, add it to DeFlock! (don't worry about if the images on the site to make sure it's an ALPR don't include one from Flock that looks like that, they only have images for two of Flock's fixed camera systems, the Flex LPR, and the Standard LPR, but Flock has other designs.)

That's a better photo of it than their own marketing photos 😂

Glad you could confirm its identity!

Oops. It was some nice lighting plus DSLR so it ended up looking too good haha.
