This has been around a while I think. A few years ago I read about traffic cameras that recorded a block of video on a rolling basis. The block of video would only be saved permanently when the camera picked up the sound of screeching tyres or a collision.
Turns out Google are offering something similar for home surveillance called Nest Cam (which previously was much more appropriately named "Drop Cam"). It can link up to an optional cloud recording service which records everything continuously & saves it to a remote server. You can configure the software to place markers on a timeline when the camera detects motion or sound that is outside the normal background noise. So you could set the camera to listen for you shouting. Then go to your computer, log in to your account & review the clips around the markers. Sounds very bandwidth intensive to me but interesting all the same.
So who is going to be the first convention to have one of these set up in the main juggling hall?
