a. Identify two features of Optical Character Recognition
Two features of OCR Technology is that there is a camera that records unusual behavior and a wireless transmitter which will transmit the data to a data base which can be viewed by police or other officials.
b. Describe two situations where the use of a wireless link between the camera and the network would not be possible.
Two situations where the use of a wireless link between the camera and the network be if the power went out so that the wireless transmitter would be powered off and therefore it would no longer have the capabilities to work, and another situation would be, if the range of the wireless signal could not reach the network.
c. Explain how this new expanded system will be able to detect regnoized unusual situations.
This new system can detect unusual situations because it will be programed to record when there are/are not people present depending on the location of the site. Also cars speeding through the red lights is unusual.
d. To what extend are citizen's concerns about the expanded system outweighed by the benefits of it providing continuous information to the police department .
The citizens concerns about having the system recording are understandable but they are outweighed by the benefits of it providing the continuos information to the police department.
The Citizens could think that it is an invasion of privacy because they could be being monotered if they are acting unusual. However the police department, with the opposing view would resopond with that if they withstand from unusual behavoir they do not have to worry about being monotered.
Antoher view could be that, The OCR technology would not work. and that it could either miss the crime or document something that does not matter.
In conclusion, it seems that the it is the best thing to do to instill the new technology because yes it may record people without their permission but it can help solve crimes. Also it does not matter if it falsely records data, it is a shame if it misses something important but it does not matter at all if it gets something thats unimportant.
