I can stare at one of a building’s security cameras from across the street like a creepy ghost child, and then the entire camera system stares at the people inside and sets them on fire, one by one. It’s like something out of a horror movie

The line of sight thing is weird. You can hack a camera you’re looking at and then, if the hack loads slowly enough, get around a corner to hide, but you maintain the connection, so the connection doesn’t require line of sight, so then why did you need it to connect in the first place?
Maybe you need line of sight to fix the victim precisely in space since that’s the protocol for connecting to someone’s cyberware. However, once connected, you can stay locked on via some other electromagnetic signal.
Like connecting to the wifi but listening via Bluetooth, makes sense really
I’ve always thought that the upload of the program just takes eye contact, but the execution of that program is the loading time we see. Like, some quickhacks might need to dig deeper into a system and break through more safeguards, which is why those take longer.
