  Dude… Are you really oblivious to the difference? These are for facial recognition, eye tracking and surveillance pricing through RFID price tags.

    The only part of that not really possible with ceiling cameras is eye tracking, you don’t need eye-level cameras for the other two.

      To a point, but if you want it done more efficiently in multiple ways, you get cameras like this.

      Seriously though, do you even know what you are arguing for here? What you are defending? Insecure people on the internet, trying to be right for the sake of it, even if it means casually normalizing the next indicator of our fascist takeover.

      What are you doing?

        I’m not defending anything lol, I’m just saying this surveillance doesn’t add a whole lot to the existing surveillance as far as I can tell, which is already pretty bad.
