I want this tied to a crude speed estimation algorithm, from a stationary camera. Even with ALPR retention restrictions, I could trigger a video save and send the police a video of…

Network transparency meant that when I was doing Finite Element Analysis on the beefiest Sun workstation they sold, running a proprietary application, I could log in from home, run…
