A live version of Google Earth to track crime in real-time - The Times of India
McNutt describes his product as "a live version of Google Earth, only with TiVo capabilities," which is intriguing but vague (and also sounds a lot like the plot of Denzel Washington movie Deja Vu). More specifically, PSS outfits planes with an array of super high-resolution cameras that allow a pilot to record a 25-square-mile patch of Earth constantly for up to six hours.
It's sort of similar to what your average satellite can do — except, in this case, you can rewind the video, zoom in and follow specific people and cars as they move around the grid. It's not specific enough to ID people by face, but when used in unison with stoplight cameras and other on-the-ground video sources, it can identify suspects as they leave the scene of a crime.
