Actually I'll guess from the photo that they were in a driveway or parking lot somewhere and got hooked on the lines possibly with the air conditioner on the roof. Looking at the lines they appear to be either power or telephone. I've never seen cable TV lines twisted around each other like that on a pole. If those are power lines they are most likely a feed for a building since having only two wires rules out the 3 phase found along main roads and also that they normally don't twist power lines together like that on a main road.
I work at a place (Menards) and we sell some parts to make cords for RV's and other things, trust me if it were how they made a cord, its nothing new from what i've seen or tried to prevent made.

I would more think probably power to the camera they're using? odd but possable

P.S. 3 wires isn't nessisarily 3 phase, could be to lights or houses which is single phase ( 2 hots) and a neutral. Sorry, I'm an electrician going on like 19 years (did bo bo's when I was 2/3 with everything), the last 10 actually full fledged work.
