    Hope in future most of the camera's directly generate IP streams
    (say UDP/TCP) once you tell them the collectors target address/port information. Till then these kind of analog to digital conversion needed.

    First comment?.. I just wrote something above to get in a first comment ;)

    You're so right, and I also cannot wait for the Judicial Branch, and Executive Branch to be merged into ONE, because we no longer need courts. (We have video evidence of everything) Of course this is only after they require cameras to be installed in your home. They would also have to do away with that pesky "probable cause", if you're not breaking the law, why should YOU care if the govn't wants to search your house, car or person at anytime without reason? Do comments like the parent freak anyone else out?

  9. This only prevents violent crime. by elucido · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Criminals will still exist, but the violent criminals wont. Fair enough, I don't think anyone wants violent crime. This does not mean crime will cease to exist, criminals will just have to be smarter and more sophisticated, because the petty criminals who rape and murder will be caught. The thieves will be caught, and hey because I'm not a petty criminal, I don't worry about that.
