CCTV swap1 (living room)
I wanted to explore communication through CCTV cameras with my downstairs neighbours.
I positioned a CCTV camera in their living room on top of a table near to the TV. I had a CCTV camera positioned on top of my TV in my living room. The tuners were swapped over so that we could see each other in our living rooms. We tried to communicate with each other by using sign language and writing messages on paper. The neighbours downstairs had the advantage of being able to hear me, however, I couldn’t hear them because the camera connection wasn’t producing a clear signal, there could have been some interference due to thick walls and wiring through the building. My inability to hear my neighbours was more frustrating for them when trying to communicate with me.
