FreakyVidsDaily
A short clip about DARPA's ARGUS-IS, a 1.8 gigapixel wide-area camera array flown on a Boeing unmanned helicopter. It produces a huge mosaic video that can watch a city-sized area from 20,000 feet.
Cited in surveillance threads as a concrete example of persistent wide-area aerial surveillance that already existed in 2013.
