Future of surveillance cameras

Computational photography will come into play, as Tenebraex Corporation has invented the Digital Window D7 surveillance camera. This is unlike any other surveillance camera before it, as it is only 6 ounces and the size of a deck of cards, but more importantly, covers a 180-degree field of view. Before this camera, surveillance only was able to account for a specific area (the area where the camera was pointed), and consequently, probably missed some important viewings. The D7 is able to cover such a wide area due to its 5 sensors that after taking 5 separate pictures, synchronizes these pictures together into a panoramic stream. Everyone's cell phone cameras will then be able to be linked to say Google (or whatever company the D7 is linked to), and people sitting at their computers at home will be able to view live whatever they want to view at whatever time they desire. Eventually, people will be able to view basically a live YouTube, and experience occurrences without physically being there.
