It seems rather intrusive to me.
Also unless I'm misunderstanding it doesn't seems to be capturing the speed of vehicles either, although I wonder if doing that accurately would require more precise mounting and calibration.
I was wondering if you could identify these 'sensors' somehow, but it looks like they're using cell networks, which as far as I understand means there is no plaintext unique identifier.
Does this mean something similar could be done with tracking of people via facial recognition? (Or is that different somehow?).
- pavel_lishin 9y agoIt's just a camera in a box, hooked up to some image recognition software. The convicted thief would have been caught just as trivially with a regular security camera. So, the answer to your last question is "yes", same as with any other camera.
- djmobley 9y agoIn practice, if you request assistance from the owner of a conventional security camera, you will run into one or more of the following issues: a) Discover the camera was a dummy; b) It was out of service at the time of the incident; c) The camera is a live stream only and does not record footage; c) The owner is unwilling to pore over hours of footage to help you; d) They find an image but the quality is insufficient to identify a person or a vehicle; e) They find a satisfactory image but are unable to share it with you for data protection reasons.
