May 14, 2012 by Paul Joseph Watson via Infowars.com -- Talking surveillance cameras that bark orders at passers-by and can also record conversations are heading for U.S. streets, with manufacturer Illuminating Concepts announcing the progress of its 'Intellistreets' system.

As we first reported last year, high tech street lights with "homeland security applications" are now being installed in major U.S. cities.

The street lights also have loudspeakers that can give audible warnings to individuals, mimicking the talking surveillance cameras in the UK that shout out orders through microphones telling people to pick up litter or leave the area.

A recent press release put out by Amerlux announces the company's partnership with Illuminating Concepts to further advance the rollout of 'Intellistreets'. The announcement confirms that the street lights will have a number of "homeland security features" including a loudspeaker system that will be used to "engage captive audiences".

Roger Wallman, director of product marketing at RADVISION, will delve into why organizations must support the BYOD phenomenon and how RADVISION's SCOPIA Mobile can keep them ahead of the competition with video collaboration capabilities.
Wallman notes that as mobile communications grow, so does the integration of unified communication features into smartphones.

"One important driver for the growth of unified communications is mobility and the remote worker," states a recent whitepaper by the Unified Communications Interoperability Forum.

Attendees will also learn about related issues of interoperability as well operating systems and user interfaces that maximize the mobile experience.

Wallman joined RADVISION in 2005 and is leading RADVISION's product marketing initiatives as it expands from a video infrastructure provider to offering a full solution including mobile, desktop and room systems. He has more than 20 years of experience in video conferencing, having started his career at PictureTel in the early 1990s. Wallman has also held key marketing and product management positions with CUseeMe Networks and First Virtual Communications.
