I wish there was more details on this. Did they create some kind of hardware that intercepts any camera at a low level, or does there need to be one device for nest cameras, another one for wyze, etc.
The article seems to imply it is hardware and not just software, but it's pretty vague.
- Sakos 3y agoThe way I understand it is they provide hardware that lets them access local network-connected cameras (once given the necessary credentials), which is then passed on to the Fusus network by the hardware. Which is why they promise it works with every dumb camera.
- hackideiomat 3y agoSo I shall give them access to my network? Not only my cameras but also my home network...
- altacc 3y agoFrom the article it seems that residents & businesses need to buy hardware from Fusus: "I acknowledge that in order to participate in this program I will have to purchase equipment from FUSUS and pay any associated costs to access the technology required to transmit data." So Fusus get paid twice: by people buying the cameras and by the police/authorities using the feeds from those cameras. There's good money to be made living in a paranoid surveillance society!
