Dear all,
In my humble opinion, the most important document regarding the deployment of CCTV originally authored by Jim Aldridge at PSDB, is now being updated. The author, Neil Cohen at HOSDB is inviting comment on this draft by the end of February. You can send any comments to Neil directly if you wish (or pass them on to someone who is making a response, I may do so) the link is HOSDB CCTV Operational Requirements Manual Enjoy! Ilkie |

No worries Ilkie,
Great minds think alike (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I've actually merged the threads togethor so now we both know where they are (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink2.gif) I hadn't actually realised that the document was open to comment; I was under the impression that it was a finalised publication. Anyhow, I've only had a very quick flick through and overall it looks a very impressive piece of work. One or two minor niggles, but nothing I'd lose sleep over; I've just got to sit down and read through it properly when I have a bit more time. Any comments folks? |

Got to read it first, Jim's original 1994 document caused a bit of a stir when first released, so it could be very interesting.

I still can't get my head around the fact that Jims original work was published almost 13 years ago, and we're still seeing many of the same operational problems repeated today.
Anyone ever managed to meet Mr. Aldridge? |

Hi Jon / Ilkie
Thanks for the link to the new H/O's (PSDB's) Operational Requirements Manual. I've set some time aside next week to go through it. As an aside, I first met Jim Aldridge when I was on my Home Office Crime Prevention Officers Course up in Easingwold (Yorkshire). Jim was with PSDB at the time and had a regular two hour slot with all new crime prevention officers. I've bumped in to him many times since then and he is always an interesting speaker (formally or informally). Legend has it (in police circles at least) ................ that invented Rotokin ! |

Known Jim professionally for a number of years, and we still sell the Rotakin!
Had an interesting chat with him regarding his latest interest a few months ago regarding metadata embedded in video streams as part of the new (proposed) MPEG7 standards. Opens up whole new areas for anyalitical video processing, some of it will be considered quite controversial Ilkie |

MPEG7 - Where will it all end?
I thought that was mainly for syncing lyrics to pop videos, now... http://www.eptascape.com/index.htm |
