## Caption

Did you know the Quad Cam used to be user-controlled? 👀⁣
Back in the early 2000s, anyone could log in and pan or zoom the camera—all from its perch on the roof of Foellinger Auditorium. 🎮🕹️⁣
⁣
There were even virtual lines of people waiting for their turn. 😂⁣ But over time, privacy concerns meant retiring the controls and making it stationary. Now it quietly watches campus, day and night. 🌙🌞⁣
⁣
Still kind of cool, right?⁣
