Blog Post 4: Data Received

After meeting with Mr. Papadopoulos, I have received a binder including all the exterior camera fields of view. With this information in conjunction with Google Earth I will pinpoint the camera locations and the field of views of each camera.

Revised Work Plan:

April 15-21: Plot points and fields of view

 April 22-29: Begin formatting poster, use Powerpoint to upload map and text in; Check in with Mr. Papadopoulos to see how he likes it

 April 29th: Finalize Poster and clean up data

Otherwise, I have been examining many satellite and base maps of the Siena campus and I have narrowed the selection down to the two shown above. A base-map or satellite image will be used to plot points that correspond with security cameras on campus. I am in between these two images because I think the defined walkways shown on the top base-map are important when I obtain a final product so the users of the map can better identify where the cameras are in relation to where they are walking or spending time on campus. The bottom satellite image does not have as defined walk was as the top map although the bottom map includes trees which will be very important when the coverage area is mapped in ArcGIS. When I map the coverage area, trees will play a role in blocking the visibi...

As times change, threats continue to increase on college campuses world-wide making it important for security to change with it and become up to date. Security cameras are crucial to allow public safety officer to observe what is going on at a different location at real-time. With enough security cameras you are able to monitor throughout the day, a vast area from a desk, keeping an eye out for threats or prohibited activities that may occur among students, and put an end to it before it may impact the students learning environment. Developing a G.I.S. map that shows coverage of security cameras on the Siena College campus will allow public safety to better understand the areas they can and cannot see using cam...
