Redbridge Ringmaster Project
Redbridge Ringmaster is a computerised system that transmits messages from the police directly to homes, businesses and neighbourhood watch groups, via telephone, fax or email The free service sends out up to the minute warnings about local crime and witness appeals
Aiming to cut burglary in hot spots and reduce the fear of crime across the borough, the scheme follows the example of a system set up in Lewisham in 1997, where it now reaches 23,000 residence. In Redbridge more than 1,000 households signed up for the free messages in the first eight weeks, after door-to-door visits from police officers, publicity at community events, and local press coverage. Project staff expect to be in touch with 10,000 people after the first year.
The system is based in the borough intelligence unit at Ilford police station, where access to the most recent crime information should help the scheme reduce robberies and burglaries by 10% over its initial two-year life span."

Microsoft gadget keeps record of your life
SenseCam, touted as a visual diary of sorts by Microsoft Corp., is designed to be worn around the neck and take up to 2,000 images a 12-hour day automatically.
The prototype responds to changes such as bright lights and sudden movements and might one day even respond to other stimuli such as heart rate or skin temperature — to track medical problems as easily as to record a Hawaiian vacation. And it could eventually link with other technology, such as face recognition to remind wearers when they've seen someone before.
