Wi-Fi cameras crack down on rogue parking in U.K.

Wi-Fi cameras crack down on rogue parking in U.K.
London's city of Westminster plans to crack down on rogue drivers by using a Wi-Fi-based closed-circuit television network. Westminster City Council is busy installing networked security cameras that can recognize parking permits and the plates of offending vehicles.
The system means parking tickets can be issued without a human witnessing the offense in person.
The parking crackdown is the most significant application to be deployed on the Westminster's Wi-Fi network, which it has built over the past year with BT. "Parking enforcement is the killer application that everyone is looking for," said Vic Baylis, director of services at Westminster City Council.
