2.6 million cameras in Chongqing!? that number is mind-boggling. In fact it's borderline unbelievable. How could any one organisation possibly use, process or even receive that much data? I have questions about exactly where this data comes from. Does it include every single camera in the city, eg. security in shops or apartment buildings? Surely they're not linked into the government. Or are they all supposed to be some kind of "smart" cameras that detect and isolate faces, vehicles etc and then send only some kind of abstracted data back to the mothership? That sounds like the only manageable methodology. It also sounds unbelievably expensive. This article raises more questions than answers.

The number is enormous, but is inline with the Chinese government figures of 170 million nationally (400 million expected by 2020). >Or are they all supposed to be some kind of "smart" cameras that detect and isolate faces, vehicles etc The cameras are part of the "Skynet" (天网) system, which is intended to perform all of those things and a great deal more.
