Security!

Submitted by Ryan Zaveruha on

All things security related to lock down the maker space:

  • Video Surveillance: WiFi Cameras are on order.  Need to be setup to stream over the internet, with a login and password.  Need to setup monitoring software to record streams, possibly offsite.
  • Alarm System: We have a really nice, commerical Honeywell alarm system already installed in the space with door and motion sensors.  We need to make sure all the sensors are functioning, and that the siren works.  Also, we need to start a project to equip the system to notify a group of people if the alarm goes off.  I have access to some WiFi devices with embedded microcontrollers that we can customize to do this.  Once everything is up and running we can give out the security code to members and have everyone set the alarm when they leave.
  • Secure all entries: We have bars on some of the windows.  Others need bars added.  Other entries may need to be reinforced.
