The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It differs from broadcast television in that the signal is not openly transmitted, though it may employ point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, or mesh wired or wireless links.
- Even though almost all video cameras fit this definition, the term is most often applied to those used for surveillance in areas that require additional security or ongoing monitoring.
- The deployment of this technology has facilitated significant growth in state surveillance, a substantial rise in methods of advanced social monitoring and control, and a host of crime prevention measures throughout the world.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Closed-circuit television article was read about 230,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 85 and blocks with 96: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
