Some would say it's already impossible to walk around China undetected, but a new camera unveiled at China's International Industry Fair this week guarantees you'll always be spotted, even in a crowd of tens of thousands.

As ABC News reports, the new camera system is being referred to as a "Super Camera" due to the detail it can capture. Developed by Fudan University in conjunction with the Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences, the camera is 500 megapixels, meaning it can be positioned in a stadium packed with people and capture a high-resolution image of every face.

The camera is linked to the cloud, capable of real-time facial recognition, and backed up by artificial intelligence, which translates to a system whereby an individual can be spotted even in the busiest areas of a Chinese city. It's also capable of capturing video, which can then be reviewed, faces detected, and behavior assessed.

As China News Service points out, the camera is being viewed favorably for its potential military, national defense, and public security applications. However, there's also inevitably some privacy concerns over a camera that can easily pick out every face from a crowd of thousands. Unfortunately, in China that seems to be the accepted norm.

Some doubts have been raised as to the realistic capabilities of this camera due to the massive amounts of data it collects. Even with a link to a data center, processing 500MP images, let alone video footage, is a huge, process-intensive task. For now, it may be a case of using the camera sparingly until data centers in China catch up and are capable of producing results in seconds and minutes rather than hours.
