How to spot PTZ (Pan, tilt, zoom) Security cameras/small, on building security cameras on a Radio/Cell tower

[a1ex]

It's a little random, but there is a cell tower on a mountain above my house with over 100 PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) cameras employed to keep out trespassers. I'm wondering how to spot them from a distance using the drone/my eyesight because the cameras can easily see my house. I only have seen <25 on each tower, but there are more that I've wondered are cameras, but don't want to move closer due to interference. I'm 200-400 feet away, using a DJI Mini 2 SE (The Smallest Drone I have) and I need to spot cameras that are either mounted to the trees surrounding the area, mounted to the ground building, and mounted to the towers (Radio, Weather x2, Public Network/Cell). The towers are about 400-500 feet high, and have a broadcast range of up to 100 miles, according to the company's website. I need a way to spot them in order to put together a case for the company to either remove, or lower the PTZ system, and remove the hundreds of trail cams surrounding my property on multiple sides (I live near the access road) This is a bit of a weird request, but any answers would be much appreciated.

To be honest, it’s going to be hard to do this legally as you do not have any expectation of privacy outside in your yard. If the cameras are on their own property, they can deploy as many as they wish. I’m a little surprised they would have 100s of trail cameras though, what is this place and is there a possibility that it’s national security related? Also keep in mind that the FAA recommends you stay outside of 2000 feet from a tower if it has guy wires, it’s only a recommendation though not a requirement.

Edit: looking at street view of the area, I don’t think you have anything to worry about, the tower does not look like it has cameras, and that forested area may have wildlife studies going on hence the trail cams, but they aren’t going to get shots of anything personal about the people living in that area.
