Would this pick up a newtork connected security camera?

Looks like it can only see WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, ect. Wouldn't pick up a hardwired PoE camera that is not emiting WiFi or Bluetooth signals.

That's perfect, actually, because I was thinking of doing some urban camping and those are likely to be running on batteries and wireless.

Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.
