The University of Maryland Security Operations Center is responsible for monitoring the near 500 cameras located inside and outside of academic buildings on and around the University of Maryland, College Park campus area. The core of the equipment used at the Security Operations Center is the vast array of closed-circuit video cameras that blanket the campus. These state-of-the-art cameras are able to pan and tilt 360 degrees and zoom long distances, and have a night-vision made that aids in nighttime viewing. Video from the cameras are recorded on Digital Video Recorders 24 hours a day and are available on demand.
Famous quotes containing the words university, security, operations and/or center:
“It is in the nature of allegory, as opposed to symbolism, to beg the question of absolute reality. The allegorist avails himself of a formal correspondence between “ideas” and “things,” both of which he assumes as given; he need not inquire whether either sphere is “real” or whether, in the final analysis, reality consists in their interaction.”
—Charles, Jr. Feidelson, U.S. educator, critic. Symbolism and American Literature, ch. 1, University of Chicago Press (1953)
“A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
—Second Amendment, U.S. Constitution (1791)
“You can’t have operations without screams. Pain and the knife—they’re inseparable.”
—Jean Scott Rogers. Robert Day. Mr. Blount (Frank Pettingell)
“Actually being married seemed so crowded with unspoken rules and odd secrets and unfathomable responsibilities that it had no more occurred to her to imagine being married herself than it had to imagine driving a motorcycle or having a job. She had, however, thought about being a bride, which had more to do with being the center of attention and looking inexplicably, temporarily beautiful than it did with sharing a double bed with someone with hairy legs and a drawer full of boxer shorts.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
