Ask and ye shall receive

After reading here for a while, I got the wild idea of asking my workplace (a county jail) about taking away some old e-waste stuff that looked like it had been there since I started. I approached the Jail Commander and told him I was in to precious metal recovery and he was interested so I told him a little about it. First he told me to check for a type of sticker that is put on most government property. If it had the sticker, that meant it had to be disposed of via auction. After looking around, not a single thing I had seen had a sticker. Once I told him that, he wanted to walk around and see specifically the things I was talking about. He let a lot of it go, said no to a few things, and told me to wait on a couple others to make sure he was ok to let them go. Here's most of what I was allowed to take now.

Not pictured is a CRT TV and a medium sized paper shredder that bit the dust.

Hoping a few people can tell me what some of these things are and anything special to look for or watch out for.

Anyways, this is just a cool thing for me to get my hands on, this is just hobby level stuff for me so it felt pretty cool. And it's possibly still going to end up with more stuff too. Any help with this is of course appreciated and thanks for the informative posts in the past that gave me enough of a plan to get this done.

nice.
if u get anything new , pls show us pics again.

I think the bottom photo is of 'switchers' for the camera signal to flow into, and then into the actual sorta computer so it can record it, before going to the monitors.
The orange blocks are relays. Probably good quality ones with the 'little Gold bars' in them...

The long board with the ' nice squares with the Gold tag in the corner' (south bridge chips?) Is probably something to do with the computer. That's a nice $ board...

You might get some other camera surveilance gear as well. I did get most of a prisons old setup once. Most of it had been canabilised of enough parts so that I could not reassemble it by then.
No hard drives, some power supply's gone, no camera 'joystick' controls etc.

I did get some flat rack power supply's with a huge toroidal transformer in it, it powered the cameras, like 12 separate outputs of 18volt. I kept those because they are useful, also because I need a 14 volt power supply for a camera setup and I think I can change a component to make it make 14 volt instead.

Yeah, try and figure out if what you have can be resold (obviously not advertised as 'ex prison system surveillance'....!) For a better $ return.
Normally a description and model # is a good start.
The monitors are probably 12 volt too, not 110 v AC

Pic #3 is just a row of electrical connectors. Shred I guess.

Thats awesome. Work is always a great place to start. Alotbof my coworkers bring me stuff

work is always a good place to pick stuff up.I work construction and I always ask when I start a remodel job if they have anything.This time I picked up 5 big ups,20 lap tops and 10 towers for free.
