[labnetwork] Cleanroom Video Monitoring

[Olona, Leonard E.]

Hi Jacob,

Here at OU we use cameras throughout the CR.

We have two ballroom style spaces that use multiple lenses on each camera.   We can multiplex the images into a panoramic view.  This also allows for a more economical approach toward the hardware aspect of video monitoring.

Having them in key areas such at wet benches, high voltage, precious metal access and critical spots in my opinion is win win situation.

The students have no problem with this system and we do have a direct patch with the University Police Dept.

I have full access to all 15 views on my computer and phone.   This system works excellent in the photo lab.  (Our photo lab only has one way in and out)

I can send you the hardware info if needed.  The system is also monitored by our in house IT and card swipe group.

Having video surveillance is an great tool that will pay off in safety, validation and peace of mind.

Thank you,
Len

Good Day Everyone,

I would like to get anyone’s perspective on the effectiveness of cleanroom video monitoring systems.  In our new cleanroom, we will have a few security cameras mounted high on the wall with a bird’s eye view of the bays.  What we are considering in addition to these are cameras directly mounted on each wet bench.

This is something I remember being implemented at Harvard CNS back when I was a user of their facility.  I do remember being told that adding these cameras to the wet benches reduced the number of incidents that occurred and improved how tidy the users kept the area. As most everyone here knows, wet benches in cleanrooms are typically a source of ongoing battles in cleanliness and as a result safety.

I am curious what people’s perspectives are on video monitoring in general, as well as monitoring targeted areas, like wet benches. Also, any recommendations on good camera monitoring systems are welcome. We want to insure the safety of the users and promote accountability in the lab, but also don’t want make our users feel uncomfortable in the workspace.

As always, any input is greatly appreciated.

Best regards,
Jacob
