what do you mean by taken 1000 miles away ?

The camera is wifi connected and accessed from a remote location- not a
lens that "sees" for 1000 miles

Per Whisky-dave:
pity I might have brought one of those...

But I did have a lens that "sees" further around 239,000 miles when I took a few photos of the moon

How about this one:

Also, last week I was talking to the head of security at a place where I
do some work. He was talking about cameras that have a 180 or
360-degree view and record at some ludicrously-high resolution 24-7. The
result is a recording where somebody can joy-stick zoom and pan after
the fact.

I'm *really* looking forward to that technology becoming available at
consumer prices.

Not 360 but 130 degrees. www.dropcam.com

In my camera store days, I had a little lady come in with her husband's SLR
and she inquired about that "funny little symbol that looks like the number
eight on it side". When I began to elplain about the concept of infinity and
lens focus she stopped me with a very puzzled look on her face, paused in
thought, and almost shouted out: "INFINITY?!? Is THAT farther than the
MOON???
