Security Cameras

Print this post
Suggestion to install security cameras.

(05/19/2009) A system can cost anywhere between $4000 and $15000. Some of the variables are whether the system is digital; how an incident is handled; who would review the recordings. Once a system is installed the options are to sign up for a maintenance plan or to pay a fee to review the recordings when an incident occurs. Further investigation of cameras installation will be put on hold until the 107 laundry room floor issues are resolved.

(06/16/2009) Doug to investigate WiFi camera.

(08/18/2009) Doug did some investigation on the cameras, and found that the association can get 5 WiFi cameras for about $500. Anyone can access the cameras if he/she knows the IP address and the password. The ongoing cost would be electricity and IP address. This is not a high priority, so the item will be moved to the Long Term projects list. This project may be coupled with redoing the front doors.

In light of the break ins last week maybe some type of security camera would be a good idea.

I also think the main door at 111 Jersey isn't very secure. From the look of the chisel marks on it I wonder if the burglers pried open the door and weren't let in by someone that lives in the building.
