water and how good is it really? We will be told of some of the diverse
technologies used in this process.</p>

<p>2. Biometrics, Video Analytics, Security Solutions – what do these
terms really mean and what underlying technologies enable society to
benefit from them. NEC will show you their secrets.</p>

<p>3. Understand how the RSPCA, with their new animal shelter, reduced
