AFAIK, they're meant to catch car burglars, so will be in the parking lots. They are "AI" cameras, so I assume at least license plate readers. The company said they don't do facial recognition in an interview, but their company's page says their cameras do facial recognition. It's a large expense ($400k - $2 million) to tackle a small problem. There's probably some corruption/bribes going on, IMO. They could put up regular solar powered cameras for peanuts if they wanted. IDK if they plan to install cameras around that Rainey Street area.
