Q: Why are there cameras in the MP room kitchen and Owu room, especially if there are none in the MP room? A: There are other cameras outside of the MP room, so any intruder will be caught elsewhere. Q: Why can't there be just one camera at the entrance to the courtyard? Q: Who will be reviewing the camera masking (i.e., hiding parts of the camera's view)? A: At least SPEC and the house masters will review the camera masking. Q: Will the details of the security updates be released? A: We will check with housing to see if it's all right to release the plans. Q: How secure is the camera footage? A: Unknown, but it is probably more secure than the current system. Q: What is the actual security benefit of the new system? Has there been a noticeable drop in crime? Are there numbers, not just anecdotes? - There should [and likely will -ed] be a town hall meeting with housing. - Need a general time line - No doors will be closed (access to the building will not be restricted) - Some residents with prior experience with this felt it was a fair compromise. ***Other security concerns: - Front desk workers frequently let strangers in to building. - Construction workers often tape doors open. - People sometimes loiter in the lobby and follow others in.
