If you are on the eastbound picadilly line platform towards the far end there is a strange machine hanging down on a ledge from the ceiling. It rotates every few seconds, makes clicking noises and has what appears to be sort of camera type slot that opens and closes as the machine goes round in circles. It looks like a dalek and everyone who stands near it looks at it bizarelly wondering what it is.
It is not a CCTV camera however. What is this machine and what is its purpose?

I'm sure its not a CCTV as its over the train track rather than the platform where the people are like all other CCTVs on the tube. It is at the far end towards the front of the train which is less busy. It rotates to even face the wall, makes extremely loud clicking noises even when not moving and the slot that opens/closes is not like any other camera anywhere. My thought was it might be taking air samples or something to check for anything dodgy being released?

What makes you so certain it is not a CCTV camera unit ?
From what you describe, It sounds EXACTLY like a CCTV unit,

I rather think you'll find it IS a CCTV camera. After the fire there and the recent incidents, they take no chances - you're on film(or tape!) like it or not
