<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>We are in the process of installing security cameras at the
moment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Given our small budget, we opted for 2 stand alone systems
with four cameras each. They are indoor/outdoor and infra red and record onto a
hard drive (160Gb) which gives us about a week’s recording 24 hrs a day
at reasonable resolution. The camera/DV kits came with power supplies, wires,
screws and bolts, all leads and even a computer disk and a USB cable to connect
to a laptop if you wanted to download from the Hdd.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>I imagine the propriety system manufacturers/users are all
shaking their collective heads reading this and will be thinking “cheap
and nasty”, but quotes we received varied from $3000 for next to nothing
to well over $25,000 for an average system. Admittedly that included
connections to alarms and such, but we didn’t need all that (nor did we
have the funds!). We got two of the kits for under $2,000 and purchased two 19
inch TV’s with AV input to monitor them for about $250 each. Total $2500 (inc
power boards, oh and GST too!) The quality of the recorded image is good, there
is quite a bit of flexibility in viewing/recording/playback so I think they
will suit our needs. And that is what it will boil down to, needs…oh and
budget as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>We had dummy cameras fitted as a deterrent and the new ones will
replace them, so no new holes will be drilled into the ceilings internally. As
our buildings are not interpreted as original, it is easier for us to introduce
modern technology into the galleries. With one of those cheap AV sender/receiver
things, I can monitor all the buildings from the one spot. The biggest
deterrent is that the cameras and the viewing screens are visible to the
public. They know they are being watched…and that works for you. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:navy'>Bundanon Homestead is an 1866 Georgian 2 storey house with two
storey verandah at front. It is made primarily of sandstone and cedar and
stands in close proximity to a 1840s kitchen and servants quarters all of which
is in fairly constant use by staff and visitors. Arthur Boyd’s 1981
studio is also in the grounds at the other end of the garden. This too would
require cameras.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
