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:

Technical Jokes and Cartoons -126

Cartoon Get Better Card

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.

Drone Detection Using Radar

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.

This article describes drone detection methods.
