This so much reminds me of the premise behind the series Person of Interest, and how such technology could be abused in the wrong hands.

It's not just London. Every city in the UK has extensive cameras as do all major roads. Last estimate was around 5 million in the UK.I will look at this once my connection is up
Makes London’s camera system look small
Yet they don't seem to be able to publish firmware that isn't full of bugs.This so much reminds me of the premise behind the series Person of Interest, and how such technology could be abused in the wrong hands.

Yes I thought that Fender when the Kaspersky allegations 1st appeared. The Governments are worried about AV, but no-one appears to have given a thought to the fact that the security cameras in many top secret installations from government buildings to Area 51, will have been manufactured in all probability by Chinese companies, some of which is state owned. That doesn't mean those companies have done anything wrong of course, their systems could all be secure and independent from foreign Governments, however, it has to be a concern to have foreign manufactured surveillance equipment if you're in security circles though surely....Lets not forget that China also has access to millions of cameras in the US/Worldwide....
there are articles published about this issue...in fact hikvision is not permitted in lots of installationsYes I thought that Fender when the Kaspersky allegations 1st appeared.

You have a point though most theft around here are full of guys who wouldn't step into a yard with high end IR cameras.Burglars love privacy.
