[Eug-lug] Webcams in the office...

[Quentin Hartman]

Down at SLSD they got some cheap-o network attached cameras to
dissuade vandalism and theft in one of the engineering tech rooms.
They worked really well, did recording out of the box, and the whole
kit with a couple cameras was only a few hundred dollars. I think they
got them from Tiger Direct. I'll contact the teacher who was directly
involvded in it and if he can recall more details I'll send them along
to you.
