New Year camera network setups

Over break, two PoE cameras from Linksys that Zefeng ordered arrived.  The seem pretty good, and Zefeng is talking to Paul Gritt to try to get it set up in the cable racks on the third floor of HFH.  If successful, we can buy more cameras and monitor the rest of the entrances.

Today, I bought from KMart two clear plastic 15L containers for COPRNet.  They don’t appear to be watertight, so we may have to look at that in the future.  How do they professionally do it will be a good starting point.  Also, I purchased some tarps from Home Depot, to cover our equipment and give them some visual protection.

Carter and I set up two cameras on the bridge to record from 8am to 4pm.  We’ll check on them tomorrow, but finally pick it up on Friday.  I must remember to bring something heavy to weigh down the container with just the camera.

The power supply on one of the computers has probably died.
