    They don’t need something mobile. They can stick 1000 cameras up for the cost of one of these and have less up keep.

      I was thinking the same thing. For surveillance, can’t they just use the iconic Camera on Wall. Or if they want to get really advanced with the surrounding premises: Camera on Pole.

        Camera on pole can’t “remove” problems as quickly

          I don’t think these can either, they don’t list attack or defensive capabilities on the feature list that I saw, I assume this is just an over glorified video camera that can follow the intruder around.

            Maybe not factory. But if Michael Reeves can teach one how to piss beer, I’m sure there’s options on the market.

          You don’t need a robot dog to have a gun. If you really wanted to have a wall mounted camera with a gun on it, it would be just as easy.

      And use AI to actually monitor the thousand cameras. Ask me how I know.

          The AI company I work for recently rolled it out. It works. We are getting alerts when we block the view of a monitored object or an unfamiliar face is in a secure location. Many thousands of cameras are monitored with minimal human oversight.

      With enough kinetic energy, anything’s mobile.
