Spy Cam

Spy cam, refers to a camera that is spying. Like the satellites used by the militry to view the land below, with a spy cam you can really know what's going on somewhere far away.

Spy cams in space have not only made it possible to know what the enemy is doing with troops, they have made it possible for us to view, map, label and measure the entire earth and sea. Every inch of the globe is viewable from space today and we can see it with incredible resolution. You may even be being watched right now from space and never even know! You might be being spied upon.

Spying, or espionage is often associated with governments who secretly gain information about potential or actual enemies and it has always been an advantage to see things below from a birds-eye advantage, especially when at war. Fortunately, the incredible technology that birthed spy satellites has been perfected over the years and has branched out into many other uses. Besides the current state-of-the-art military uses, this technology has made it’s way into free-to- the- public use in the forms of Virtual Globe Internet programs like Google Earth.

Google Earth made its debut in 2005. From your own living room anyone with internet access could now find and view virtually any place on the planet. The photos, available for free, were outdated by several months or years, but still viewers were amazed. The latest technology was magically at their fingertips, and now you could almost fly through the air visiting places like the Pyramids of Egypt, the Statue of Liberty, the Danube River, St. Petersburg Russia or a friend’s residence and see it all from the air. Suddenly, the whole world, was at mouse-click command.

Satellite viewing systems with a real-time functionality have been available for military use for years, and some civilian companies already use such satellite communications extensively. Such systems are used by 911 emergency systems to locate and remotely view emergency callers or emergency situations on the streets. People of the just-a-few-years-ago past would be quite impressed and amazed to know how things have progressed technologically.

Today everyone is spying with camera at the earth. Everything is real-time monitored from the sky.
