‘Smile You’re On Camera’
Like it or not, our lives are being monitored by more and
more video cameras. Convergence (voice/data/video) is
a different animal now as technology makes strides with
wireless, biometrics, bandwidth, interoperability, storage
and retrieval. Privacy concerns are a legitimate issue,
but there is no denying the positive results with regard
to public safety and welfare. This session discusses the
latest trends, technologies and approaches being used
in the public sector.
