Physical Security

We are all experts when it comes to physical security. Not a day goes by that the average individual will not encounter video surveillance or access control devices that are meant to protect people and assets. At work, at the airport, even in the supermarket, doctor's office or houses of worship, these devices capture the movements of people and restrict access to secure or private areas. These products - and the technologies used to manage them - are so commonplace that we scarcely give them a thought. But they are all around us, and their usage continues to explode.

What is behind this rapid growth? One could argue that we live in a risky world and that these products are necessary in order to provide safety and security. While certainly true, the increased usage of video surveillance and other physical security technologies can also be attributed to a variety of enabling technologies that have greatly improved the economic viability of these solutions. Combined with the cameras and card access systems that we see every day, these enabling technologies work behind the scenes provide the foundation for the seamless, reliable connectivity that makes today's physical security systems work.

Today's physical security systems resemble the vast, reliable computer networks that we have come to take for granted. These networks, which provide the increasingly ubiquitous connectivity we use everyday to manage our lives and businesses, also provide the foundation for a cutting edge physical security infrastructure where data can be shared globally and instantaneously.
