The biggest issue is the cost and the data consumption. Cameras aren't all that expensive, however moving the data has been the biggest obstacle in implementation for a lot of departments as it is expensive and a lot of networks can't handle it. People don't realize that all that footage has to be moved to servers then stored. Then the question is how long it is stored and how do you pay to store that much video for that long. It is a much more complicated process than many think.

Great point.  Seems like this would be a better use of that NSA data center out in UT rather than spying on us.  Not sure how I feel about a federal depository, but diverting the cost from local coffers in order to institute this nationally would be do great things for confidence in the police nationwide.  


Speaking about moving the data, you're talking about moving it at the end of the day to the cloud correct?  Not transmitting it cellularly from the camera itself?
