Simple answer is yes. Civilian capability seems to be around 5M ground resolution, and there are plenty of examples of it being good enough to ID car models, or spot the bloke in the Hi-viz vest. More complicated answer is yes, with restrictions, i.e. only between 1157 and 1159, otherwise you have to pay for more satellites biggrin

I suspect keeping a geo-stationery satellite fixed on your house to avoid putting up the CCTV camera might be somewhat expensive...

I reckon the Chinese are very well advanced on this matter.

At what resolution and what FPS.
I can pop over and photograph you standing in your garden. I don't know where you live so we'll base it on £300pd + travel at £1/mile. Resolution 25Mp. I'm free tomorrow smile
