Beam me up Scotty

Technology nearly always fails to live up to my childhood expectations of what things would be like when I was grown up. Every now and then something comes along to remind me I have made it to the future.

Linton, the security and access contractor for the Lighthouse, has recently upgraded the CCTV system and made it available to view and control online and via iphone. It really works. Some screen grabs from my phone.

Here are some lost architecture tourists at the front gate. Security asleep.


A good view of Canary Wharf and the O2 from camera 9 on top of the Lighthouse. Camera 9 can Pan and tilt.
