Surveillance Camera Software Blurs the Faces of the Innocent


Advanced video surveillance cameras that discreetly examine each face or vehicle that comes into frame are becoming more commonplace in big cities and large corporations. These cameras are equipped with intelligence algorithms that can distinguish the face, vehicle or license plate of a wanted criminal and alert the proper authorities when necessary. However, innocent people often get involved in these recordings simply because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. A video analysis company named 3VR is now attempting to change all that.

Latest by GadgetPlay: @ecobore: "ANY self-respecting criminal is either going to be driving in a stolen vehicle or one with false plates." So these systems can recognize faces but not phony plates or stolen cars? I think self-respecting criminals are going to need to more »

RCA Releases New Mini-Camcorders With Expandable Memory, Water Resistance

RCA is refreshing and expanding its line of Small Wonder mini camcorders, positioned to compete with the wildly popular Flip Ultra. The new cams feature upgraded video quality, storage and skins, though unfortunately no rechargeable battery. The Pocket and MyLife models don't offer anything too revolutionary, but keep the same fold-out screen of the original, while the more rugged Traveler claims water resistance and shock-proof battery contacts, though the screen is built in to the body.

Latest by n/a: I think it would depend on what you need. For me, I'm using my creative vado to record fun clips of my baby brother instead of my digital cam. The vado is easy and convenient to use due to its more »

RC-12 Mini Camera is Tiny, Works Underwater, Wireless to 30 Meters

The RC-12 Mini Camera is essentially a 1.2 GHz wireless camera with a 30 meter range, a 2.7 MP CMOS sensor and waterproof housing. It looks about as big as a LEGO brick and can shoot 45 minutes of video on a single charge. This camera isn't anything I have any practical use for, but it's the type of gadget I would find a non-practical use for (and no, I won't drop some lame girls' locker room reference here—wait...shit). I'd probably have this thing express shipped to my doorstep if it didn't cost $270. That hurts. [Killian Nakamura via Ubergizmo via Oh Gizmo!]

Latest by n/a: @AdmNaismith: You're somewhat misinformed. There's audio on RedOne. There's audio issues, but they are working on it. Some misleading information in pin schematic on the manual, and probably a "post factory" fix with an attenuator cable adapter (mini-xlr to XLR) more »

Vivitar SD-Card Camcorder Plays Back at 1080i, Probably Won't Cost the Earth

Vivitar is responsible for dirt cheap video cameras and the like. Their latest offering, which hasn't received a detailed specification list, doesn't look too bad at all; the DVR565HD will be a SD-card camcorder that will support recording in H.264/MPEG4 high definition at 720p, with a 30fps frame rate. Additionally, the video camera will be able to play back at 1080i, and with an HDMI cable included in the asking price for HD TV connectivity, this looks like a fun shooter for peeps looking for a decent, low-cost camcorder. Though the price hasn't been announced, Vivitar are known for their wallet-friendly marketing, so be assured, it shall be reasonable. If we're wrong, you can make fun of the interns. [Pocket-lint]

Canon iVIS HR10 Burns your Home Movies onto DVD

Don't be fooled by its thoroughly '80s body (if this was a clutch bag, it would have been in Melanie Griffith's paws as she trundled over to Manhattan on the Staten Island ferry in Working Girl)— Canon's new iVIS HR10, out over here this summer, is utterly Noughties by nature, as it records everything in either MP4 or H.264 format.
