An Advanced Networked Video Surveillance Systems Provider is asking, over on LinkedIn, about video surveillance and can it improve profits? At first glance the whole thing felt kind of creepy but looking at the answers I noticed this one:

"Sure - a resounding yes. With license plate recognition technologies we paved the way for road toll collection..."

I took a second look and wondered out loud what would happen if license plate recognition technology could be used to capture names of employees whose cars are parked in any one company's parking lot. Hmmmm? Sure, you'll miss a few (visitors, etc) but WOWoWOW!
