yeah, try matching a human eye on dynamic range and then on angular speed and then on refocus. okay forget that.

try matching a cat's eye on those metrics. and it is much simpler that human one.

Who cares? They don't need that. The cameras can have continuous attention on a 360 degree field of vision. That's like saying a car can never match a human at bipedal running speed.
I'm curious, in what ways is a cat's vision simpler?
less far sight, dichromatic color vision, over-optimized for low light.

a cursory glance did not find studies on cat peripheral vision, but would assume it's worse than human if only because they rely more on audio
