Just walked through the Denver Airport tunnel and counted 8 different security cameras in 100 feet

I was passing through the B concourse connector last Tuesday and it felt like a surveillance experiment more than a walkway. Has anyone else clocked how many cameras are packed in that space compared to normal airports?

The boxy ones near the end are actually older models, I checked the mounting plates on a few and they had that faded gray plastic that the newer domes don't have. I went through last Wednesday around 2 in the afternoon when the light hits just right off the glass, and I found 17 total in that 100 foot stretch counting both sides. What helped me spot the trickier ones was looking at the ceiling seams where they blend into the metal framework, those dome types have a tiny lip that casts a faint shadow if you walk slow enough. I also noticed the newer ones have a tiny blinking light deep inside, not the red kind but a real faint white pulse you only catch from certain angles. If you go when it's less crowded, like early morning before 7, you can stand near the middle and just rotate slowly to pick them all out.

it felt like a surveillance experiment more than a walkway" that's exactly it. I walked through there last month and started counting because it was so obvious, lost track after 12 in the first stretch. Were you able to tell if any of them were the newer dome types or just the regular boxy ones?

Honestly, did you see any of the ones behind the fake planters near the middle benches? Ngl, those were the trickiest for me to spot at first. Tbh, what worked for me was going around twilight when the lights inside them started glowing just a bit, then you could tell the dome types from the boxy ones real easy. @the_piper, I noticed the newer ones had a softer hum too, like a faint buzz, while the old boxy ones were dead silent. You gotta go back around sunset and listen for it, it changes the whole experience.
