We are trialing a new security system in the Lodge. This takes the form of an intrusion sensor outside, and a Wifi cam inside the lodge in the back corner at the car park end. The intention is to add another camera outside the lodge overlooking the car park area. The advantage of these is that they will trigger on intrusion alert and can be viewed remotely in real time or reviewed within 2 weeks. These are not for the purpose of watching people, but rather to check that entry to the lodge is by legitimate members. Given the assets we have on site, this is necessary for any insurance claims.
Access to these cameras is limited to Webmaster, Vice President and Observatory director only.
We already have a surveillance network installed (several years ago) which records to a hard drive but cannot be remotely viewed in real time.
If anybody needs to know more please feel free to email me.
