Security systems and cameras can be found almost everywhere these days from shopping malls to the airport. As the world gets increasingly dangerous and less predictable, it's important for business locations and public buildings to provide the best security monitoring possible in order to keep people safe. Thanks to some new technological development in security equipment, improved measures can be taken to ensure a better, more secure environment.
Audio Monitoring
New audio monitoring equipment can detect extremely loud sounds such as gunshots or even the sound of raised voices that can indicate a serious,elevated situation. When the monitoring system turns on, it can alert security personnel to take notice of the video feed in real time. The equipment can also detect other loud sounds such as breaking glass or car alarms. This piece of equipment is installed inside a weatherproof housing and can be attached to light poles or the side of a building and is easily integrated into any existing security system software.
Retina Scanners & Fingerprint Readers
When it comes to access control, biometric entry systems are the ideal way to ensure security and to grant access only to authorized personnel. Employees' fingerprints or retinal information is entered into a database that is directly tied to the system. When the correctly matching fingerprint or retina is scanned, the door unlocks. This almost fool proof method of access control ensures that only specific people who are allowed to enter a building can do so. It's ideal for places like military bases or government buildings where confidentiality is of the utmost importance, however, these can also be customized for home use such as gun safes and private home entry.
Motion Detecting Camera-Light Hybrids
Since modern technology has gotten smaller, security systems can be more compact than ever before. Some products provide a combination of a motion detector, flood light, and security camera rolled into one solid piece of equipment. When motion is sensed by the built-in detector, the light comes on and the camera starts recording. This is an ideal choice for small businesses who want to save money on energy costs or don't have the means to install a full-blown security system. This streamlined alternative can be a good deterrent for potential break-ins and help companies keep an eye on movement in and around the building during closed business hours. Thanks to new developments in security products, safety is improved in a much more streamlined and effective way.
