YSTV Does Hunted - Live: Difference between revisions

The last two cameras had to be scrapped last-minute due to issues getting power and networking, and lack of techies to be able to figure something else out. The camera outside Unity Health almost didn't happen because we couldn't get a network connection from the Unity Health building; all network ports were dead and the wireless access point was also dead. Due to access to the old Unity Health building being awkward, we only had tested getting a wireless connection from standing outside, and assuming the network ports were working (big mistake). We had supposedly got a strong internet connection from standing outside, but on the day we found there was literally no eduroam signal available outside the building, and inside no working network ports. In hindsight, when testing, we were probably recieving an eduroam signal from elsewhere although the fact that we couldn't get a signal at all on the day suggests otherwise. However, to solve this problem, we moved the static camera closer to the Physics building, which had working networking. We did have to wait for the Vanbrugh mobile receptionist to come open P/L/006, which is where we ran our power and ethernet from, however we were lucky that they unlocked the room for us given that we didn't have a booking. For future reference, do not rely on the Unity Health building for OBs. Also, why did we decide on using Unity Health instead of Physics in the first place? Who knows.
