With its 19 lenses, the Mantis, one of the world’s most powerful cameras, can capture cities and people in the big picture, and then drill down into extraordinary detail. This tool is now powering the Chinese surveillance state. Photo: Qilai Shen for The Wall Street Journal

  2. It's the most dumbest thing to do to believe in this surveillance camera garbage, and there's no limit to it. They should be banned from the mankind altogether, it is too much. They prevent the normal life from happening in common places because the surveillance is too intrusive and there is too much of it which disturbs everything with the normal people. This has never been allowed and would be in reality a question of very seriously punishable crimes to install cameras in a way they are now. This is the truth about the matter and nothing can change it no matter what. There is no benefit at all from these cameras and that should be admitted. They do not improve honesty with the people, in reality they destroy it and are a great enemy to it in all places. This has all gone wrong and is a great mistake or a great crime overall that there are these cameras in all places in this way like now, and nothing can change this reality to anything else. They should not be believed in any way. Mankind is committing great atrocities in this kind of behavior against the people. Camera surveillance is not meant to be used in this way and it has always been wrong to do something like this with them. How hard is this to be believed thoroughly? This is wrong and not right and that's it and nothing can change it. It all is coming from childish imagination which is not real and not true and this should be believed and admitted without a question. Why is this so difficult? What makes it so? Is it the pretention of something you are not in after of fame or other such things that might be there? This is very gravely wrong and should not be done in any way and is deeply hated among the people that someone could even think like doing this and installing the cameras and the surveillance in this way, and nothing can change this fact from that. How hard is this to be believed?

  3. For everyone freaking out this won’t allow any level of detail beyond what is capable with a normal telephoto lens. All this technology does is point one everywhere at once in a wider field of view.

  12. "It´s a huge market David Brady is hoping to tap with his supercamera"

    So basically David knows about the Chinese government spying on it´s citizens,
    but wants the sweet sweet moneyyy.

    Yes, it´s a nice innovation, protecting against bad people.
    But in China, it´s only sold to bad people, so it kinda loses it´s point.

  18. Interlacing images doesn’t require multiple cameras. Just a million iso rated camera so a fast shutter speed can be performed. There is an advantage to having a staggering angles of cameras but I’ve done it with just 1. It certainly puts computational power to the test and I found macs are able to handle it better because they throttle 1 of the cores for OS only where Microsoft systems don’t do this essentially performing a DOS attack on themselves.

  20. Seems they never worked on getting these security cameras down to the general consumer market. If they could have make a low cost implementation of it where a user can have 4-6 of those cameras, then it could be great for surveillance of the exterior of a house.

  23. Believe in Yeshua, He is the only begotten Son of God who died and rose three days later and loves all of you. He took God's wrath upon Himself, that was the punishment for everyone in sin. He died and rose to give you new life in Him. Born again, a new creation. He died for everyone and wants you with Him, to know Him and live for His glory.
    By belief in Him alone you can be saved, you receive eternal life and you need to spend time with Him to know Him. Attend a church, read and obey scripture.
    Be saved, free, forgiven, healed, delivered, baptized, whole and let Him show you how He is everything you need. He alone satisfies. 
    Seek God and see your worth how loved you are and know who He is, read scripture. 💕
    We are to live righteous and Holy because He said to and He paid for our way to live like Him. Ask anything in His name and the Father will do it amen. Hallelujah Praise the Lord God Almighty 🙏 Thank You Yeshua.
    I lift up everyone's prayers, wants and needs to You Yeshua, please pour out blessings. May Your favor and mercy be upon the world. In Yeshua's name come help us all. You know our needs and everything else about each of us. In Yeshua's name amen thank you Yeshua praise God 🙏
    Father God Help people to be rooted and grounded in Your love and to obey Your truth. That they are living in the truth being taught by You. That they know Your voice and word. Knowing truth from errors, discernment. 💕
    We are to live righteous, doing the right thing always and living in obedience to scripture, every word of it. 
    We are ambassadors of Christ. We represent God, when we are seen Yeshua should be seen, His ways not ours. We should be living for and showing God, living for His glory. We are to be an example of Yeshua, for the world to see Him and want to know Him and know Him more.  🙏 🔥
    2 Chronicles 7:14 says, if My people humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways I will hear them from heaven and heal their land.  🙏 💖
    People need to turn from their wicked ways, Yeshua paid for it. That's God stating it in that verse and there are more verses. People need to repent, to be cleansed by His blood and live Holy because He's Holy and righteous because He's righteous. Our God said to stop sinning in many many scriptures and He paid for everyone to be cleansed of sin (Isaiah 53), and to live how He said. He dwells in the Holy temple (your body) and said not to defile the temple.
     He said to defile the temple is death. He's always serious about everything He said to do. He's just as serious about what He said not to do. 
    We live in obedience to His law, which is all of scripture, every word of it! He dwells within us all to be with and lead us in His ways. 💕🙏🔥 🕊️
    Deuteronomy 28 there are blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. The whole chapter, and verse 46 is one example of generational curses. These go into the following generations, the 3 and 4th. Our children pay the price for our sin.
    God has said to stop sinning. Scripture says how you are sending consequences to yourself and to your loved ones, children. By God's law you are. If you don't believe me ask Him, in Jesus Yeshua's name may you see and know the truth in its fullness. 
    Yeshua is worthy of everything He said and paid for, so I implore you to do as God said.
    Yeshua said If you love Me you will obey My commands. Love  Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.💖🙏🕊️🔥 obeying His every word and in that is life more abundantly. Praise God so Awesome!! Hallelujah Yeshua   🙏
    God loves all of you and you are worthy to Him, Yeshua died for all because God loves everyone he sent Him. Come know Him, Yeshua call upon Him 💕 the world knows Him as Jesus, He answers 💕
    Thank You, Yeshua for Your obedience and love, even unto Your death You obeyed the Father  🙏 Hallelujah Praise the Lord God Almighty 💕  In Yeshua's mighty name 🙏🔥💖🕊️
    God is always faithfully Himself and so awesome. Every way He said He would be in scripture He is. Every day ages and ages of Him never changing. Hallelujah Yeshua Praise the Lord God Almighty 🙏🕊️🔥💖

    Obey scripture, the full gospel and watch God change everything 💕
