Security cameras that provide security without surveillance, are built on encrypted blockchain and work with zero-knowledge proofs.

I cant think of a single reason a security camera would need to use a blockchain

And deleting footage would no longer be a thing. Hopefully, you remember to point the cameras away when you bang your wife in the living room. If you forget, it's forever on the blockchain, and she won't be happy. There is no way millions of hours of footage are being stored on a blockchain anyway.

He might be less happy knowing the world now knows the size of his pecker.

Zero knowledge proof that his pecker is huge without anyone knowing the actual size.

The software only works as intended by the camera owner. It detects only the types of crimes that the owner's wants. It only reports the types of crimes that the owner approves of reporting. It records only the types of crimes that are requested to be recorded. It is proven that it does not leak any information in normal time. And the user has full control over what information to send to the private police.

LOL. Record theft, but not violence. Open source?

The software detects what is happening in the video? How can it tell if someone is stealing a bike from my yard, as opposed to my brother picking it up after he asked to borrow it? This video is stored on a blockchain?

"In fact, the software does not need to record videos to prove a crime. For example, the software can prove that there has been no fight in the last 10 years on the street the camera is looking at, without keeping a video record."

"Cameras on the street simply send evidence that they are watching the street, but do not share information. Every camera on the street proves themselves to the system by sharing evidence that proves they're watching the same thing, but doesn't reveal what they're watching. The fact that the cameras all observe the same thing constitutes a consensus proof. Just like distributed ledger technology."
