With dozens of consoles stacked in a semi-circle of surveillance, the
security monitoring station looks a little daunting.
But it's when Director of Security and Technical Services Domenic
Ceccanecchio manipulates a video game looking joystick to zoom a camera
perched at 40th and Locust to the front steps of 1920 Commons that you
realize this high tech oasis is not just for show.

There are 40 high speed street cameras and over 130 building cameras
dispersed throughout campus. They can track suspects moving throughout the
area. They can provide an evidentiary record to later convict criminals.

They could count the freckles on your face.
