Watching The Office Even If You're Out

By Wilhelm C Garsia


"What is Morton doing?" the manager asked me during our own Skype call. "Just the normal work," I said. He asked me to poke around because Morton seemed working with something else, enough to get him stay past office hours. He subsequently noted that someone did not switch the light off inside the storage facility.

I was definitely spooked right up until the manager said to me he monitored the workplace. That explained precisely how he'd captured those things. "From San Francisco?" I inquired incredulously. Not known to me and everybody else at the job, he had a wireless IP camera system mounted so as to track us even when he was on a different location.

A surveillance camera is good for security applications, he explained, and is very helpful in keeping track of people in case they do some wrongdoing. And suspicious actions just like Morton's did not escape his eye.

Mr. Harris had desired specifically a security video camera that was unobtrusive and simple and easy to install, as well as could allow him to see from even halfway across the globe. He'd found one, and all it requires this particular surveillance camera is a smart phone, smart pad or Internet browser.

He had merely checked the wireless router at the workplace, and set it to UPNP setting. Right now, he could remotely keep an eye on the office after entering a Web page that enables video camera viewing. Uh-oh, this meant I needed to be on my very best behavior, as well.

The thing I couldn't establish had been precisely how he'd been able to see quite a big location. The majority of CCTV cameras cover simply a certain location at a wide position.

He told me ultimately that he had selected a pan-tilt-zoom or PTZ camera capable of panning for as much as 270 degrees as well as tilting for 90 degrees for outstanding coverage. That nearly implies all people at our workplace can be monitored, especially if you are presently there on your own soon after work hours.

Both of us did find out that Morton had been going to night courses, and from time to time used work facilities for this. The wireless IP camera caught him throughout one of those times, though he was not out to mess up the company or anything like that.
