I don't know if TFR actually named the ubiquitous surveillance
devices. The "Internal Intelligence" agency using them was mentioned
many times, though.
I'd call them {jIHwI'} ({jIH} "monitor (v)" + {-wI'} "thing which
does"). It occurs to me that the consensus understanding of the noun
{jIH} "monitor" as a display device might be wrong, and it might refer
to the sensing/sending device instead.
