Surveillance Camera
If your lab does not have a fixed surveillance system, you can borrow the Axis M1034-W network camera to observe a lab and people in it. NB Always inform your participants if you are monitoring them via a camera!!
Setup
Make a reservation in the equipment calendar. Use the Booking System -> Equipment calendar menu item.
Go to Ronny, borrow the surveillance camera.
Put the camera on a table and aim it at whatever it is that you want to observe. Connect the power adapter to a power outlet. There is no need to connect an ethernet cable. The camera will automatically connect to the university wireless network. Using an ethernet cable will increase the image quality.
Connect
Use the information on this page to connect to the camera.
