To enhance campus safety and allow for system integration, we have cooperated with Taipei Bank to formulate an IC Card for Students and Faculty members. Moreover, IC Card reading machines are found in various places including men/women’s dormitories, libraries, central control room, self-study multimedia labs, and computer rooms. Therefore, we are able to precisely control the number and times of people who enter campus facilities; thus are able to fully manage campus safety.
We have installed 400 cameras on Taoyuan campus to monitor activities in the library, gyms, dormitories, and design, information, technology and social science buildings. On Taipei campus, about 100 cameras are connected to the monitor system in buildings B, D, E, F, H, and the dormitories. All the digital images can be monitored by the central control room through the Internet, as they are recorded 24 hours a day. At the present, all monitor systems on campus have been digitized. Moreover, we are investigating the next generation of digital monitor control systems so as to enhance the quality of images.
We are planning a driveway monitor system on Taipei campus to be controlled by the guardroom. This further enhances focus and directional control of monitors for vehicle activity on the driveway, all lots, and in the intersection. Further, we have upgraded to 24- hour, high pdi digital imaging to allow for remote and intranet search and enhancement of the images.
We have planned and designed a power monitor and control management system to effectively manage and monitor electricity use in every classroom and building on campus. Moreover, setting up a schedule to provide power to electronic equipment can effectively monitor and compile statistics on electricity use.
For protection of the school’s information systems, we will imitate a token card verification system. Soon, a password as well as a token card will be required to enter any one of the systems. This indeed will protect users from alteration or stealing of information from disclosure of their passwords.
At the present, there are multiple emergency telephones on each campus. In emergency situations, one merely needs to pick up the phone and it will be connected to the guardroom immediately with no need for dialing.
We will integrate the closed circuit television, monitor system, optical fiber, internet, power monitor cable, and power supply system. At the present, integration on Taipei campus is finished. Once the system is completed, we will be able to simultaneously visualize, to control, and to transmit information through the closed circuit television connected with optical fiber and ethernet. In addition, we will be able to maintain the Internet connection and all classroom equipment in normal working order through short electronic circuits.
It is not easy to monitor and manage all inventoried property because of the many categories, different ways of use, and different distribution properties. Recently the Information Network Division has developed a technique for monitoring and managing property to prevent any possible burglary. Besides monitoring equipment in E-classrooms, we are now able to manage all computer-related apparati. In the future, we will continue to investigate the newest detection systems, such as RFID, Smart Card, Reorganization Technique, and others. Indeed, we will continue to improve on practical and precise ways of managing university property.
