▲ Tom Arbisi previously released camera poster Art the camera is code-named Rebel and claims to be "the world's first real-time connected" camera. CTOnews.com has received the relevant physical engineering machine and is now bringing pictures to its partners, but the engineering machine cannot be lit for the time being and needs to be tested later.

It is reported that the Here camera began development in 2013, with "LTE", "GPS", "Wi-Fi", "Bluetooth" and "NFC" modules, Nokia 808 with the same 4100-megapixel (1Gram1.2 "sensor, f / 2.4) camera module.

The camera places considerable emphasis on "real-time connection", claiming that "when users capture images, videos and location data on the scene, their audio and video content will be automatically uploaded to the cloud as long as a Wi-Fi or LTE connection is available." users can also send pictures directly from the camera to social media (and watermarks can be set).

According to the Tom Arbisi blog, the camera has a protection rating of IP68 and boasts a "one-piece seamless shell." It also supports the use of waterproof bags in rainy days and other scenarios, but the relevant accessories information has not been released.

The camera was cut because Nokia's HERE division experienced a management change at that time, accompanied by a "priority" shift. Although the product itself is highly completed and "very close to the stage of mass production", it was eventually cancelled, similar to the fate of the Nokia McLaren engineering machine.
