I realize that m...Don't forget...battery life.<br /><br />I realize that much of the installations claimed could have power routed to the camera, for example cameras in streetlights. But while data can be routed wirelessly pretty easily, powering cameras that are hidden or placed in places where power is not available requires a battery. A camera eats through a battery easily. I dont have the numbers off hand, but there is a reason your digital camera dies in 60 minutes.<br /><br />There are solutions, like charging a big battery during the day by a solar cell, but you lose half a day of recording and you can only record at night. <br /><br />Anyway, regardless of the specifics there are many cases where battery life woudl also be an issue.Techskeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05557868785422930364noreply@blogger.com
