Hey all,
About a month ago, I left a piece of equipment for installing our security cameras charging on the co-working tables up front. It is a tiny wrist-mounted monitor. Sometime since then it has gone missing. If you’ve seen it or have borrowed it for some reason, please make sure it gets back to the makerspace this weekend. We need it to finish installing our cameras. Here is what it looks like:

Hopefully it is just hidden or misplaced, I know many of us have searched. I know its not much, but I’m willing to throw $10 towards a new one if needed. As I would like to get the cameras finished.
Looks like a replacement on Amazon is $80:

I’d throw in $10 as well…
Or maybe this one for $50? https://www.amazon.com/Eoncore-Portable-Security-Camera-Monitor/dp/B0168HO45U/ref=sr_1_2
Let’s give it a week or so…I’m hoping it turns up. Perhaps someone borrowed it, thinking it was MakeiCT property that was not being used. Thanks, everyone.
I’d just like to note here that borrowing equipment from the makerspace is not allowed.
Unfortunately, the $50 version cannot handle the HD signal from our cameras. The one I purchased was this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CI4998Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It isn’t so much the money as it is the irritation factor. It is irritating to realize that we really do need security cameras for this type of thing. It would have been nice to have cameras only for something to review to improve our safety practices when working with our equipment.
That’s life in the big city, I suppose.
I just went out to my car and found this jammed under the driver’s side windshield wiper. I was out until around midnight, so it had to have been put there between then and (presumably) sunrise. Why whoever it was didn’t just leave it at the Makerspace is beyond me, but thank you for returning it in any case.
Outside of your residence?
Yeah. In my driveway, in the case, in a Ziploc® bag, under the wiper blade.
Is it possible that you dropped it somewhere in the vicinity of your home? It seems unlikely that anybody from the makerspace would take it to your house instead of dropping it off in the building.
There’s really no chance I dropped it anywhere, although at this point it doesn’t really matter. I have it back, and I’m glad it got back to me in whatever case.
Devin, let me know if and when you need it, and I will give it to you directly.
