An article reporting on the Global Times' super camera noted that the facial recognition system was designed with national defense, military and public security in mind and that it will be used at military bases, satellite launch sites and border guards to prevent entry into restricted areas. suspicious persons and objects.

It is also said that the super camera can record videos at the same ultra-high resolution as photographs, thanks to two special chips developed by the same team of scientists.

Experts warn that the use of a system of such cameras may entail violation of privacy.

Wang Peiji, Ph.D. from the School of Astronautics at Harbin Institute of Technology, told the Global Times that the existing surveillance system is sufficient for public safety, noting that creating a new system would be an expensive project with less significant benefits.
