rach Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 What’s this? More than 60 security cameras on a single streetlight? China seems to be quite paranoid here. Forget the NSA for a minute here, for China is looking down on its citizens via over 60 security cameras in one spot, and that’s not good.The image you’re looking at above was taken at an intersection in Shanghai by NetEase. China is often accused of being Big Brother and this won’t help its cause; we can only hope this is an extraordinary exception to the rule rather than the rule itself. One has to wonder, what are Chinese citizens doing to deserve 60 security cameras in a single spot looking down on them like an eagle. And why 60? You would think a few cameras (read: less than 10) would be enough to properly monitor an intersection. Heck, maybe even 20. But 60? Sounds like beyond overkill to me.According to HugChina, only 24 cameras were installed originally. However, at a later date, 37 more were installed. Strangely enough, the company that installed thee cameras claim it is for the purpose of monitoring traffic flow. Over 60 cameras to monitor traffic flow? That’s cute.Furthermore, China did nothing to hide these cameras, they are just out there swinging about for everyone to see. A decent Big Brother would consider what the citizens might think of such atrocity, and thus make plans to keep it a secret. But no, China doesn’t care about that at all.By the way, have you realized that some of those cameras look like Nintendo Gameboy systems? That’s pretty cool China. Keep doing what you doing. :view: View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VileTouch Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 apprently it's cheaper to have 60 cameras than a wide angle, high resolution one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambrocious Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 The reason for the large amount of cameras here is to incite fear over people passing by; to get their people to be continually oppressed. How would YOU feel if you saw 60 cameras pointed your way? Intimidated comes to mind. I don't think the people of China have ever experienced any form of real freedom in their country...EVER. People are only as free as they think they are as long as they know what freedoms apply to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
