She Got A TV Eye On Me
There's a surveillance camera in our lobby, which is pointed towards the door between the mail boxes and the elevator. Basically, it watches who goes through that door, and who uses the intercom that's beside it.
Until recently, it was possible to watch the camera feed on channel 70- or 90-something. Unfortunately, the camera wasn't that great, and the feed was rather snowy. However, if you knew who someone was, you could probably identify them through the picture.
The feed disappeared, but the camera was recently replaced with a newer and better one, and the feed has returned. There's only one small problem: it's no longer on a channel in the upper end of the range. Instead, it's coming in on the same frequency as channel 19*. It's a good thing that I don't have an urge to watch YTV.
* 151.25MHz, for the curious.
Wouldn't you think it would make more sense to have the camera facing the other direction so you could see their face and not the back of their head?!
Not a clue. I'm guessing that the idea is that you'll catch the person's face when they use/look at the intercom. Or else, you'll catch it when they either turn down the hallways, or wait by the elevator.
This way, it also watches the pop machine though, and that may have had something to do with it.

this goes back to the great TV pop conspiracy of 2001
I think I missed that one; care to explain?
