Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology is used to help detect, deter and disrupt criminality at a local, force, regional and national level, including tackling travelling criminals, Organised Crime Group (OCG) and terrorists. ANPR provides lines of enquiry and evidence in the investigation of crime and is used by law enforcements agencies. 

How it works? 

As a vehicle passes an ANPR camera, its registration number is read and instantly checked against database records of vehicles of interest. Police officer can intercept and stop a vehicle, check it for evidence and, where necessary, make arrests. A record for all vehicles passing by a camera is stored, including those for vehicles that are not known to be interest at the time of the read that may in appropriate circumstances be accessed for investigate purposes. The use of ANPR in this way has proved to be important in the detection of many offences, including location stolen vehicles, tackling uninsured vehicle use and solving cases of terrorism, major and organised crime. It also allows officers' attention to be drawn to offending vehicles whilst allowing law abiding drivers to go about their business unhindered.

What is an EPOS system? 
An EPOS digital system is a computerised system which is used in restaurants, shops and other retail outlets. It’s a way of letting people pay for goods or services. EPOS systems have a variety of uses such as; 

·         Helping to improve the way the business performs as a whole 

·         Allows information and stock to be stored securely 

·         Information can be retrieved immediately as and when needed 

·         Allows a business to see what products are in demand 

·         It can print out receipts and vouchers for customers 

·         It can also be linked to a company website or any terminal within the business 

 

How do EPOS systems work? 
EPOS systems compromise of computer hardware, peripherals and software which are suited to a point of sales environment. For example, some of the most common components to an EPOS system are touch screens, cash draws, customer displays, scanners and printers. In an environment such as a supermarket (Tesco), an EPOS system can work with barcode scanners to ensure price accuracy and allowing the staff to work quickly. 

EPOS systems can suit a variety of different working environments to ensure that the system is suited to a particular business. It can be used for: 

 

The Global Positioning System is more commonly referred to as GPS. It is a satellite navigation system that is owned by the United States government and is ran by the United States Air Force. It is a global navigation satellite system that provides location and time information to a GPS receiver anywhere on Earth. These receivers receive satellite signals passively, they don't transmit and they require an unobstructed view of the sky so they can only be used effectively outdoors. A GPS receiver estimates the location of the satellites because that information is included in the transmitted Ephemeris data (data that tells the GPS receiver where each GPS satellite should be at any time throughout the day). By estimating how far away a satellite is, the receiver also knows it is located somewhere on an imaginary sphere centred at the satellite. It then determines the sizes of several spheres, one for each satellite, and therefore knows the receiver is located where these spheres intersect.

  Personal Vlogs are an online video which records one person delivering information that they intend to deliver to their audience. 

  In 2008, YouTube announced a live broadcasting feature called “YouTube Live”. Over time this feature has been introduced to other social platforms such as Instagram and Facebook. 

  To create a Vlog, bloggers use a camera and a microphone to record themselves. Sometimes they will record everything in one sitting, however some bloggers create their Vlogs in multiple different parts. After they have their footage, they then go onto editing the footage on their computer, before putting it online.

CAM - Computer Aided Manufacture
        

What is CAD?
CAD is software that is used by design engineers. This new process allows designers to have a whole new aspect on designing products. The software allows the user to do either 2D/3D shapes that can then be labelled and drawn to scale but in a computer. 

How does CAD work?
The way in which CAD works is that the designer/developer can purchase some software such as Coral Draw or Google Sketch-up. The software program then will allow the user to create digital drawings that can be either printed out or even be send via emails to other people.


What is CAM?

CAM is an technology that uses computer software and machinery to automate a particular process. An example of a CAM process would be robots that are producing cars on a large scale. This CAM process relies on the CAD side as well this is because the machines needs some form of an instruction on what is wanted.
