Find the CCTV camera and win a prize! Bonington Building, Nottingham Trent University

A CCTV camera was hidden in the studio space of the Bonington building for 1 hour between 11.00am - 12.00pm. The CCTV camera was initially going to produce a live feed through the large plasma screen located outside the green room. However, the plasma screen requires a very strong signal for it to work properly and even when the camera was positioned close to the screen and tuner, no image was produced on the screen. I decided to use a TV monitor that I had been using previously to receive CCTV signals in and around the studio. The TV produced a clear live feed from the wireless CCTV camera and I was able to hide the camera further away from the tuner and TV monitor.
I was left a note from the the person that found the camera (the winner of the task) with their email address next to the CCTV camera saying that they had found it first. I sent an email to the anonymous person with four Ebay item numbers (although I didn't reveal in the email that the numbers were Ebay items). The item numbers were detective themed prizes. The winner had to choose 1 number to receive their prize, they chose a spy kit, which was wrapped and left in my studio space for them to collect.
