Meriam Library
web camera
In the dimly-lit Instructional
Media Center, there is a maze of wiring, computers are
everywhere and fast-pace people are using high-tech
programs. But in this technological wet dream, there are no
windows.
Chris Ficken, creative
services supervisor for the Instructional Media Center,
checked out his Web camera project on the Web site from
where he works. When he looked at the image displayed in his
browser, he turned to a coworker and said, "It's partly
cloudy outside."
Ficken set up the Web cam
on the second floor of Meriam Library when he found an old
surveillance camera. The camera updates an image on the web
every five seconds and also sends a real-time video feed out
to classrooms on campus.
"We work in a basement
and I always wanted a window," Ficken said.
Ficken's project is one
of four working Web cams on campus. So, if the thought of
Big Brother watching is frightening, consider where these
three Web cams are and change your daily routine.
