[TowerTalk] Pan,zoom,tilt camera on tower

[Joe Drennan]

I would also be interested in anyone’s thoughts on a camera on top of the tower.

Many years ago I had a security job for a couple of weeks at the Colosseum here in Denver. My shift a couple of times was using the security camera they had outside on a tall pole.

This camera had a tremendous zoom and was used to keep a lookout on all the parking lots around the Colosseum and we’ll see what the crowns were doing. You can actually zoom into somebody’s car in the parking lot hundreds of feet away and see if they were drinking a beer or smoking a joint.

The zoom camera so magnitude will help you keep a lookout on the properties better.
