A Systematic Approach For Troubleshooting Degraded Video In Surveillance
When it comes to networking, real-time applications like video conferencing and streaming video can present monumental challenges to the typical network infrastructure.

LEGAL: Use Of Cameras Installed In The Workplace For Monitoring Employees
Israel has set a baseline for ‘secret’ video surveillance in the workspace and has codified it. The unlawful use of surveillance cameras to monitor employees in the workplace exposes the employer to civilian (including employment related and tortious), administrative and criminal action.

Such a policy is necessary for establishing that the employer has obtained the employees’ informed consent.

San Fran’s BART Withholding Surveillance Videos Of Crime To Avoid ?Stereotypes?
In the last three months, there have been at least three robberies on BART involving groups of teenagers. ?I think people are genuinely concerned – they are fearful about the stories that have come out about the recent attacks, the assaults, the thefts,? said Debora Allen, who is a member of the BART Board of Directors. ?To release these videos would create a high level of racially insensitive commentary toward the district,? she was told. ?And in addition it would create a racial bias in the riders against minorities on the trains.? According to a memo distributed to BART Directors, the agency won?t do a press release on the June 30 theft because it was a ?petty crime? that would make BART look ?crime ridden.? Furthermore, it would ?unfairly affect and characterize riders of color, leading to sweeping generalizations in media reports.? The memo was from BART Assistant General Manager Kerry Hamill.
