The college was using a GUI to control the cameras, with recording, pan 
tilt and zoom. There was not fancy image recognition software. But that 
was some years ago.

I attended a demonstration at an educational conference in Canberra a 
few weeks ago where a vendor was offering facial recognition software. 
The idea was to identify students who had been banned if they attempted 
to enter a campus. This was fully automatic, scanning every person as 
they set foot on campus and tracking them everywhere on campus.

There are of course troubling aspects to such a system.
