The SD Reader isn’t a very trustworthy source. Here’s the U-T’s extensive piece on the topic:

How does anyone who lives in San Diego get to see the live camera and data feeds? Surely a city in the US didn't create a public surveillance network that takes the information and makes it private.
I live in San Diego and frankly, I hate the new lights because they simply aren't as bright and there are fewer of them. I can't run outside after work during the winter because the streets are dark now.
With modern LED the small battery powered headlamp I have on a headband is like a headlight of the cars of the past :)

"Hey, cities, want to install our Panopticon?"
At least BriefCam took the time to encode their site in PR-speak:

Traffic congestion by studying the build-up of traffic at certain lights
I call bullshit. Pneumatic road tubes have been around for a while to gather data about traffic flows.
This blog post is highly misleading and inaccurate. Access to the video is very limited and subject to strict protocols for use in investigations. And the audio recording capacity isn’t live because the City has no use for it. The SD Reader isn’t a very trustworthy source.

That's what they all say. It's an empty platitude at best.
"the audio recording capability isn't live"
Yet. It is still present, though, and could become live should San Diego decide it to be useful.

Headlamps can be dangerous because the shadows are in the same plane as your vision. I gave up using them for hiking because they didn't help me see drop-offs. You're better off with a light in your hand or on your waist.

It was specifically designed to not have cameras however, to assuage privacy advocates.
