In both classes it was recommended that operators install a cheap video camera connected to a computer in the venue before each show. The purpose of the camera is to capture the entire show to PROVE that beams never went into the audience. That way if a patron tries to file suit later on (claiming a laser eye injury), you have video evidence to back up your claims that such an injury could not have been caused by your projectors, because the beams never went into the crowd.
