time, in sequence.”
    “This is great,” Jerry said. “Maybe you ought to sell this.”
    “Naw, the new wireless surveillance systems on the market come with software that’s better than this.”
    “Does it have multi-camera view?” Jerry asked.
    “Yeah, just push the button that has the little grid on it.”
    Jerry clicked on that, and all of the cameras displayed in a grid. It was a bit small, but watchable.
    “Excellent,” Jerry said. “They could post a private in here to simply watch this screen.”
    “That’s the idea,” Frank said. “I’ll see if I can log on with the laptop.”
    Frank input the IP address of the PC into his browser window. He was asked for a password, and he put in Clubhouse_1. Then the view of the PC showed up on his laptop.
    “There it is,” Frank said. “Here’s the limitation, though. It can only see what is live on the PC screen.”
    “You could take control of the PC remotely and change that, though, couldn’t you?”
    “Yes, we could, but then that would mess things up a little for the person here who’s monitoring the system.”
    “Oh,” Jerry said. “Duh.”
    “I could program a client to put on PCs that will allow us to change the view. I’ll do that, but it’s not going to work on the tablets. I’ll work on that in my spare time.”
    Jerry laughed. “Well, I hope we have plenty of that now that we are getting out of the hot zone.”
    “Should we change the password?” Jerry asked.
    “Actually, there’s no need to if we hide the network,” Frank said. “Outsiders aren’t going to guess where this machine was.”
    “True. We just need to tell the people in this group that need to be able to monitor the system.”
    Frank nodded. He shut down his laptop.
    “Let’s go see if the General and the Major are around,” Frank said.
    “Sounds like a plan,” Jerry said.
    They left the shed and walked over to the barn. Major Hobbs and General Walker were sitting in front of their laptop.
    “Good morning, men,” Frank said as they walked up. Jerry looked at them and nodded.
    “Good morning to you, Frank,” the Major said.
    “Good morning,” General Walker said.
    “We’ve got the surveillance system working,” Jerry said. “Thanks to our genius programmer here.”
    “Excellent,” Major Hobbs said. “How do we access it?”
    “One of two ways,” Frank said. “There’s a desktop machine with a big monitor in the shed. That’s the main place, and you can select the view in there, as well as go back and look at history on the DVRs.”
    “How long does the history go back?” the General asked.
    “About a week, then it overwrites,” Jerry said.
    “Can we access it from other machines?”
    “Yes,” Frank said. “I’ll show you.” He got in front of the army laptop and brought up a browser. He put the IP address into the window and then input the password. The multi-camera view came up.
    “Wow, very nice,” the General said.
    “Can you change the view?” the Major asked.
    “Well, for right now you need to do that from the PC in the shed,” Frank said. “But I’ll write a client for PCs that will allow that. I’ll send it to you guys if I don’t get it done before we’re out of here.”
    “What views can you get on the PC in the shed?” Major Hobbs asked.
    “This one with all of the cameras in a grid, and it looks really good in there because of the nice big monitor that Hilda gave us. Also a cycle view that displays each camera, one after the other, in order, and a view where you can select by camera number.”
    “And the DVR view, if you need to look back at history,” Jerry said.
    “Excellent,” Major Hobbs said. “So we can put a private into the shed to monitor if we desire.”
    “Yes, Major,” Frank said. “One thing you might want to think about is getting an uninterruptable power supply.”
    “We can do that,” General Walker said. “Could I have you guys brief the Major and several of our privates on this
