I hope it's temporary.

 

[PhilharMagician]

Wow, that looks like crap sitting up there.

 

[Amused to Death]

First in with “seamless.”

 

[Captain Barbossa]

Surveillance? Damn guests trying to climb to the top of Spaceship Earth!

 

[HauntedPirate]

How very… odd.

Hopefully just temporary for test-and-adjust of Beacons of Magic on SSE. It's likely the only way they'd see the lighting elements on the top of SSE.

 

[ABQ]

Bizarre location for surveillance as it can't see any area near to itself. Has to be temporary, right?

 

[Lil Copter Cap]

...if they were futher along in construction I would guess Super Zoom Magic Shot from the America Pavilion...but with Harmonious hardware not the most picturesque and Future World being dirt...

 

[Notes from Neverland]

I imagine we'll see the footage in an upcoming promotional video/commercial.

It looks like nothing more than a standard PTZ camera. Even at that height and assuming it was a higher MP camera, it wouldn’t be useful for anything other than really wide angle shots.

It does make a nice expensive lightning rod. I hope it is well grounded.

No this looked like crap.

Both the camera and this look like crap IMO. Lol

 

[CJR]

I hope this is not permanent. It's begging for a lightning strike up there.

Rumor has it that it will be used to target vistors that don't have their wallets out while walking.

 

[Lilofan]

Zero in on unsuspecting guests.

This appears to be a relatively cheap PTZ camera and isn't capable of an extreme degree of optical zoom. I'll say its temporary and for the testing of the beacons of light. I doubt it would be very useful to track guests.

Those type of cameras are all over London, a city full of surveillance cameras watching people and traffic.
