“The FususCORE hardware device that citizens can connect to their home or business network enables a user’s camera system to instantly connect with the cloud to share relevant video with law enforcement,” said Chief Digital Officer Matt Garrepy of Orlando-based Solodev, a cloud technology expert who is not involved with the Orlando Police Department or Fusus.
In other words, with your permission, police can view the world through your surveillance cameras.
