Olympic CCTV Plans already causing an upset …
The 2012 Olympics CCTV system in London will inevitably be a pretty big deal.
We spotted this article over on the SKY News website.
Number-plate recognition cameras as well as private networks, such as those of a shopping centre or car park, would all be accessible to allow authorities to track suspects throughout the capital.
Advanced computer intelligence systems would assist officers by filtering out all but the most relevant CCTV feeds coming into the control room, reducing time normally spent scrambling from one camera to the next.
Essentially it is what our fellow security experts across the pond call managing situational awareness, and what we would probably term sorting the wheat from the chaff!
We’re not sure why using pre-existing CCTV camera feeds more intelligently should upset Liberty, and wonder how upset they’re going to be when the final additional camera count for the City of London is totted-up?
