Acoustics technology alerts police of gun violence

At Mountain View, Calif.-based SST, engineers have developed new gunfire-detection software that pinpoints the exact location of a shot, making it easier for police officers to respond to a crime scene. SmartPlanet visits the San Francisco Police Department to see how it's using the technology.

Microphones detecting Gunshots
If you simply used the microphones inside so many cameras that are installed all over everywhere, you wouldn't need such an expensive matrix. Big Brother is everywhere, glad that SST is working so well. What I don't like is that the state and county and cities don't have the details as to what these gadgets cost. If the people knew, these systems would never have been purchased. It all adds up, maybe that's why California is broke.
