The Future Of Security Systems

The problem of security has never been addressed yet totally. As security system technology advances so does the ability of criminals to barge in homes have also increased. People in the security industry are relentlessly developing new technologies to thwart criminals from continually threatening the lives of the innocent. There are countless stories today that people were saved from danger because of the efficiency of their installed security system at home.
Threat continues to rise even in the offices. There are security concerns that are not only physical in nature. Security sometimes can be utilised to protect information theft. It is not enough to have security around the premises because these thieves will work when the guard are not there. The security that we need today should have a 24 hour monitoring set up. This security system should be efficient both in the office and at home.
Video monitoring is a little more sophisticated of a method to protect property than traditional security systems. It provides the opportunity to record evidence in the event of a crime. It keeps a visual and sometimes audio record of events that occur and is able to give police vital information to catch a criminal. Video surveillance is the best eye witness to any crime and can be a very effective tool in protecting business investments.
Recently, some criminals have also utilized the security system to their advantage. These criminals have installed this security CCTV in ATMs so that they can monitor the activities of the people withdrawing cash. Their purpose of course is to capture the hidden PIN which the depositor uses for their security.
Audio surveillance is another useful tool to protect a business. It can guard against crimes happening at the work place. Sometimes, employees will sell drugs while at work. Video surveillance may not catch the transaction, whereas audio recordings can catch a conversation. If drug deals are happening in the workplace, the integrity of the business is being threatened. If the owner is not present (which is common when business must be conducted during the work week) audio monitoring as part of the security can help supervise during those times.
This surveillance camera can operate over the Ethernet which means this has the ability to run without the additional power supply. It is connected to the internet therefore you can monitor and check your security wherever you are. You can even check your security system over your mobile device connected wirelessly on the internet. There are some drawbacks however if this security system is connected online, it can be hacked. More than anything else, this security will definitely answer a lot of security loopholes that were left unanswered in the past.

  2. I think this is the right way to go, security measures everywhere. ATM, Phone, Laptop, Office and home have to be save and we need to be more careful.

  3. Personally I don't know what future will offer us. My first computer used to have probably million times slower processor than my present mobile phone.
