[Histonet] surveillance cameras in the lab

[Weber, Susan (VHACLE)]

Yes. Security is of the highest priority for these matters, however,
were the cameras in the "public" places? Entrances and exits which need
to be and usually are monitored I would understand. We also have
lockdown procedures and cameras in the "public" areas and key card
accesses which, yes are a pain, but necessary, especially in these
times. It is also quite clear that you are under video surveillance
(there are signs POSTED everywhere!) Four cameras, which seem to be
"monitoring" the workforce I do have a problem with. Silently installing
them on a weekend without benefit of explanation, I have a problem with.

Come on.
In these times of terror concerns I am not sure I would work in a place
where I did not feel secure and the use of these devices help in that
matter.
We built a brand new University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and
there
are cameras all over the place as well as lock down.  If you do not have
an
access card you cannot get into the labs.  This was a pain at first but
with
all the crazy's we have to worry about out there it now makes me feel
better.  
I just read in the paper this morning about a researcher whose house was
bombed by Peta types for doing animal research, and we have had all
sorts of
disturbances over the years with precious research animals being
released,
protests, etc.

I was wondering how many techs out there have cameras in their labs,
either
for security or to monitor employees. I went to work Sunday night and
noticed that 4 cameras were installed in the lab over the weekend, with
more
to come.
