It is a problem we all face, at work we are overwhelmed at the amount of
footage security cameras are producing. One of the best watchers actually
uses sound too. She looks and listens to about 12 tracks at once.

There is a suggestion on rec.crafts.metalworking to farm it out to
volunteer civilian observers for pre-screening, like Project SETI or
Gutenberg proofreaders. I suggested that the training requirements
would be high, especially since we don't know what normal behavior is
in rural Central Asia, but what do you all think?

Jim, thanks for posting it here. I was the person who originally
suggested this in rec.crafts.metalworking.
The qualifications required depend on the quality of drone video.
If one can easily see objects such as armed men, or men digging holes
in untoward places, then the qualifications required to analyze those
videos, are not as great.
All in all, training is something that can be expedited with a website
based training course and preselected videos. Ergo, what do you see on
this video

But how do you keep the enemy from tapping into our (admittedly not
encrypted) UAV feeds?
The fix is to put one UAV over each platoon and have a room at their
home base where their family members can come watch whenever they
want. (Hopefully they'll arrange shifts.)
Persistent UAVs was the only good idea that John P. Jumper ever had.
Good thing it got countermanded as soon as he was replaced or we'd
already have the system in operation protecting American troops today.

The enemy , under my proposal, would not have a choice what to
watch. They will be given random selection, of footage, with location
of it not disclosed.
Besides, my proposal also suggests some basic checks, such as
requiring an SSN and a recent tax return.
That would cut down on the amount of intelligence that the enemy coud
get by signing up for this program.

Veterans and former security clearance holders could have preference.

Just do not assume that the people who were given access, are really
the people actually are the people accessing. Their accounts coud be
hacked. So even if you have access to someone appearing trustworthy,
you still should not give them too much privilege.
