Yep, a video about it capturing a murder (blurry video from 7 years ago I'm sure it's even better today): ▶ this video
If the article writer is concerned about some helicopter footage, he would have an aneurysm over this: ▶ this video AFAIK this was done with commercially mass produced silicon, and it was 10+ years ago. Nowadays they can probably do 10x+ better.
Would a demo of what is possible at 4000 feet suffice? link (4min33sec) Or what was state of the art at DARPA in 2013? link (4min40sec) Edit: Or more commonly available, just search for "Nikon Superzoom" on youtube, and watch some short demos there. And then imagine those pointed in all directions downwards, the videostream(s) saved to some small storage array, or even transmitted live to some ground station(s), indexed and overlaid on something like google maps, just better, with a time slider. Mark some car at some point (in time) and see where it moves...and so on. Edit: like THIS link (3min13sec) Edit: Oh! And something from 2016 about "The Surveillance Firm Recording Crimes From Baltimore's Skies" (7min29sec) link Another demo of the same thing from the same person/company in another town, also 2016: "The Eyes in the Sky That Catch Murders on Tape" ▶ this video (5min) So why is this news?
