CH110 Learned Helplessness
***
Alex leaned back in his chair, tapping the edge of the parchment with his pen.
He had to decide just how much coverage each surveillance device would have.
In the end, he chose the cheaper, more flexible option—
Multiple low-grade cameras, each covering a small area.
It was far easier and cheaper to acquire numerous low-grade mana glass lenses with narrow fields of view than to purchase even one high-grade lens with a wide coverage area.
Sure, it added extra work.
But not by much.
All he had to do was write a simple post-processing program for the OmniRune Core—
Something that would automatically stitch together all the small-angle footage into a seamless wide-area feed for the Sub-AI module's training databank.
He then considered the device's power source.
Ambient mana. It was the obvious choice.
But that came with a trade-off—
He'd have to limit the camera's functions. No fancy active detection or continuous recording.
