How hard is it to link to the original instead of the short summary article on a site designed to turn clicks into ad views and nothing more.

> A camera take a picture of that wall every millisecond

That makes the camera work at at least 1000 fps, and it needs to take picture of 100 lava lamps. From what I've seen from hight FPS cameras in science channel shows, those tend to work well for a small target area with bright light. Can anyone from cloudflare talk about what kind of camera or cameras are used for this?

Maybe they take a view of a certain area. If it's filled it's a 1 if it's empty it's a zero?
They are not trying to record high speed video. A camera may take a picture every millisecond, but it doesn't have to be one camera. They could be using multiple cameras interleaved in time...
