WATCH: Jerusalem As The Birds See It

Interestingly this video was taken by Bladeworx, a company that was awarded a contract to provide surveillance services for the Police and city hall in Jerusalem (17 July 2014):

Employing unmanned aerial vehicles, which look like miniature helicopters, would provide police with an invaluable preventative tool that will curtail violence and expedite arrests and convictions in court, Barkat said.

“The challenge we have is to get an aerial perspective on the light rail’s route, and currently ground-level surveillance doesn’t give us a top-down view, which can help us see violence and what is going on,” he said.

“As far as I know, this is the first program of its kind.”
