Single Lens Reflex (SLR) technology underlies cameras that take photos at family birthday parties. The same technology has been applied for surveillance of individuals and public spaces.

Privacy concerns properly attach to applications or uses of technologies, not to the technologies themselves.Sandvine CEO Dave Caputo will be speaking on the Net Neutrality panel at The 2009 Canadian Telecom Summit.
