[BC] Simple station security

[DHultsman5@aol.com]

I have seen several stations that are remotely located in rough areas that  
have installed video cameras at their transmitter site.   They add DSL  to the 
telephone line at the transmitter and set up an IP address for  the site.  
They have purchased a video hard drive survelliance unit  and they have tied this 
in with the existing burgular alarm and remote control  using and old studio 
computer as the terminal.   When an intrusion  alarm occurs the remote control 
logs the intrusion time and notifies the control  point.  Then either at the 
studio or remotely via the network the hard  drive video can re rewound to the 
time of the intrusion and the video cameras  can be viewed.   All of this 
equipment was in existance except the  video security system which was bought at 
Sam's for $800.00.
 
Again the constant creativeness of broadcast engineers.
