Closing the Door After the Cows Have Left: The Importance of Proactive Access Control

Access Control System Concept
Access Control System Concept

There’s an old expression: “Closing the door after the cows have left.” It perfectly encapsulates a mindset we often see when it comes to access control. Too many people or organizations realize its importance only after an incident has occurred. Unfortunately, by then, the damage is done, and the cost—whether financial, emotional, or reputational—can be steep.

This article reviews when to consider access control before a security situation occurs.

Comparison of Panoramic and PTZ Cameras

What is the Best IP Camera: PTZ or Panoramic

PTZ Versus Panoramic Cameras
PTZ Versus Panoramic Cameras

PTZ and Panoramic surveillance cameras provide a wide viewing area but do it differently. This difference is important. Two popular options for surveillance cameras are PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) and Panoramic cameras. Each has strengths and limitations, depending on factors like viewing distance, low-light performance, situational awareness, critical situation detection, and best applications.

This article compares the performance and applications of each type of surveillance camera.
