What is this black thing, roughly the size of a coffee mug, cylindrical in shape, attached to a circular bracket, on the side of my neighbours house? Its position can be adjusted, doesn’t light up or make noise. Not sure on weight as it is fixed to the wall. We think that it’s plastic.

    Yup. Bought a house that had some outdoor speakers. The audio cables ran into the basement and when I finally got around to hooking them up to my amp it did not go according to plan. I trimmed the cabling for some fresh copper and water started immediately dripping out of the cables. Turns out the conduit the previous owner had laid for the wiring was completely water logged. I ended up buying some wireless speakers instead of dealing with that mess.
