Cleanroom Cameras

The camera server that controls the cleanroom cameras has had a problem for some time now.  We tried to repair the server unsuccessfully, and we have tried to redeploy a different server without success.  Our next step is to procure a new server with new camera software and re-initialize the complete system.  Our engineer Jerry Shepard is leading this project and we anticipate this to conclude sometime this summer.  We will keep the user community updated as we make progress.
