Update on the CCTV and security

I would like to refer to the picture above. That is our guardhouse. It looks like it is not manned at all. Believe me, if I am a visitor, I would just walk through the guardhouse without a second thought because the atmosphere at the guardhouse gives me an impression that I would not be stopped or questioned. The guardhouse is so calm that it is hardly a deterrent to tresspassers. The R.A. had highlighted the weaknesses to the security company. Please refer to my previous blog for more information.

On CCTV, the R.A's proposal for the installation of cctv had been accepted by Dats Management Sdn Bhd. We were actually given the heavy responsibility of appointing the company to carry out the project. This is actually one way of telling you, you get what you want but you are also responsible for the system to be installed.

After an intensive study, we had to defer our decision due to the high cost incurred and the manpower required to maintain the system. Twelve T.V. monitors are required to accommodate 280 cameras. There will be 16 frames of pictures in each monitor. Imagine the number of extra guards required to monitor the system. This will definitely increase the operating expenditure which may give rise to an increase in the maintenance fees which the R.A. will try to avoid at all cost.

As I had said in my previous blog, the security at the guardhouse has to be tightened first or else it would also defeat the purpose of installing the cctv.

Goodnight and have a nice day!
