These are poles with a surveillance camera on top. And these are only on homes being built by Eden Brae.
Looking closer, one of the poles had a "build watch" sticker on them. So did a bit of search on interwebs and this is what I found !
It installs security cameras on building sites to gather evidence against trespassers and to deter people from going on-site in the first place.
...another advantage was it enabled home buyers to go online and see how their home-building was progressing without visiting the site.

The company that provides the infrastructure:On Site Eye

It was initially started by Eden Brae as a trial two years ago, but I believe it is now available to other builders as well as of July 2014
You can log-in from any web browser and check the progress of your house ! It would be just AWESOME to have that as a tool to view the progress over the months. Stitch up all the photos together and you can build a video... !
But, before you go all excited and order one from your builder, please bear in mind this will also limit your capability to 'wander' into your under-construction home without being captured by the camera.
