I thought, this couldn’t be true, because surely, one of those cameras doesn’t cost more than like $200. There’s no official price list, but I’m finding numbers online of $2500 per year. This includes maintenance, footage hosting and cell service, which is likely the bulk of the cost. But either way, jeebus, that’s a lot of money.

Government contracting is a grift with a long, long history. I bet if you travelled back in time to ancient Egypt, you’d find military leaders overcharging the pharaohs for security services.
