Comparison of IP and analog Access Control Systems
Network-Attached IP Access Control vs. Analog Separately Wired Access Control Systems
When designing or upgrading a physical security system, one of the key architectural decisions is whether to use network-attached access control (also known as IP-based access control) or a separately wired access control system, often utilizing proprietary multiple wire harnesses.
Here’s a breakdown of how these two systems compare:
Cameras come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and capabilities. Before selecting your cameras, it’s essential to understand your objectives. Do you want to reduce liability, catch a criminal, detect when someone is carrying a gun, improve productivity, or watch a rocket launch?

He said, “Doctor, every time I try to sleep, I close my eyes and see visions of PVC, copper, steel, and corncob. Am I going mad?!” The doctor replied, “Relax. You’re just having pipe dreams.”

Maximizing Physical Security by Integrating Access Control, IP Camera Systems, Intercoms, and IP Paging Systems
Physical Security Integration
Integrating door access control, IP camera systems, intercoms, and IP paging is one of the best ways to create a comprehensive and highly secure physical security system. When these components work together, they provide real-time surveillance, controlled access, seamless communication, and rapid emergency response.
This article describes how to maximize security through integration:
How to Maximize the Access Control System Potential
Access Control Optimization
To determine if you’re getting the most out of your access control system, evaluate its performance across several key areas: security, efficiency, integration, user management, and reporting. You should also consider whether you are using your current system’s features and need to upgrade it to meet new requirements.
This article reviews some essential features and provides a checklist to help you audit your current system.
A hitchhiker had been trying to get a ride for hours with no luck. Finally, a car pulled to a stop. The hitcher ran up, threw his backpack in the back seat, and climbed into the passenger seat. “Hitching long? “ the driver asked. “Hours and no one even slowed down,” was the reply. “Boy, society has changed,” the driver said. “People are so worried and scared now.” “I hear you,” the hitcher said. “I think they’re afraid of picking up a serial killer.” When the driver laughed, the hitcher asked, “Didn’t you think about that when you picked me up?”
Intercoms enable two-way communications and are used for door control, apartment entry control, and communication in schools and offices. Some include video or integrate with access control and IP camera systems to increase security.
This article reviews what you should consider before purchasing your IP Intercom System.
Drones have benefited many military and commercial organizations. However, their proliferation has also caused problems and security issues. Because drones are sometimes present in the wrong places, many organizations are looking for ways to detect and neutralize them.
There are several types of drone detection systems. Most systems provide detection, and systems that integrate camera systems can also provide identification. The threat can be eliminated by adding jamming signals and lasers.
