Former city councillor Elsie Martlew said she was delighted that managers at Marks & Spencer had listened to customers and said she opposed the new automated tills on principle because they could cost jobs. She said many had become annoyed by the long queues which had built up since the tills were introduced – the result of having one queue for both sets of tills. The former councillor was so annoyed that last month she wrote to Marks & Spencer boss Marc Bolland. Now the high street chain has changed the system so there are separate queues for each type of till. http://www.wavestore.com/security-cctv-news/marks-and-spencer-changes-till-and-queue-management-system-after-carlisle-woman-campaign/ Wed, 11 Jan 2012 12:00:00 +0000 16:16:00 Chinese legislators are considering new visa rules that would introduce fingerprinting of foreigners wanting to work or study in China.

Features like motion detection and camera tamper, embedded in surveillance devices and offered as free, will be joined by applications for more sophisticated video content analysis (VCA). IMS Research predicts that a clear divide will emerge between free lower-end applications and chargeable higher-end applications. http://www.wavestore.com/security-cctv-news/ims-research-report-says-video-analytics-market-will-be-worth-600-million-dollars-by-2015/ Wed, 21 Dec 2011 12:00:00 +0000 16:05:00 Mayflex has been named as a distributor for Agent Vi’s video analytics solutions across United Kingdom & Ireland.

Liam Gould, 24, thought he had got away with a knifepoint raid after he wore a hooded jacket, covered his face with a scarf and wore gloves. But police identified Gould by the tip of his nose thanks to facial recognition technology. Officers who believed he was behind the raid on DIPs newsagents in Preston on November 16th last year brought in forensic scientists to use a revolutionary facial recognition computer programme to compare his mugshot to moving pictures of the armed robber. http://www.wavestore.com/security-cctv-news/hooded-robber-caught-thanks-to-facial-recognition-technology/ Wed, 30 Nov 2011 12:00:00 +0000 16:53:00
