Integrated network cameras are taking on all kinds of new responsibilities in schools, including running iPhone-style applications, reading license plates and even talking back to misbehaving students, according to a report from Fox News.
Schools have been eager to leverage the latest in surveillance technology, arguing for the benefits of these smart cameras. Approximately 75 percent of new video cameras installed in U.S. schools last year were analog, and about 50 percent are digital models with built-in Internet connections, pixel-perfect picture and the ability to record heat signatures, Fox News says.
