Security Cameras

Yay - we have the new security cameras installed and fully functioning.

There are seven cameras - three in the dvd and magazine area, one on the public access computers, one that overlooks the back emergency exit door, one outside on the front, and one outside on the back door. I will happily show you what the cameras look at so that you can get an idea if suspicious activity might have been caught on camera.

The cameras constantly record to a DVR in my office. Because the DVR was the most expensive part of the system (and the part that contains the eveidence, if needed), it needed to be installed in a secure location and my office will be locked when I am not here. If a problem arrises when I am here, I can simply review the tape and copy anything to a thumb drive that may be of importance to police (or whatever). When I am not here, please just take note of day and time that suspicious activity occured, and I will review tape upon my return.

I have posted signs alerting people to the fact that we now have security cameras in use - hopefully the signs alone will work toward cutting down on some of the theft.

If you have questions, please come see me.

"New" Camera

The planning dept. (I think) offered up a FILM 35mm camera, and it's now ours. It will be in the bottom drawer of the filing cabinet along with the digital. I thought it might be useful for certain craft projects, or maybe even a mini-class in "old school" photography.
