Exactly—some “stocking up” at those costs!
I read about a company making these cameras (integrated into streetlights) at least 5 years ago ,, I remember WalMart was going to install them as a test for a few dozen stores.... The lights in the parking areas or course always have AC power available ... The big bonus for this system is that they fed the image data back over the AC power lines and somehow were able to cross transformers and other devices on the way back to the security booth, very simple to install.
