We live in a world where technology and its many advantages play an important part in our lives. Technology advances as we speak, it changes quickly, and new additions improve upon previous options.

Think, for example, about the important issue of security for our homes, our businesses, as well as personal security insofar it can impact our daily lives. Years ago it was hardly necessary to pay too much attention to this issue – today; however, it has become crucial in all of life’s spheres. Criminals are ready to break into cars, houses and business premises, and any other building where they could find something of value, are that personal item or your office’s computers, tablets, smartphones, documents, or other items.

Therefore business owners, government departments, private households, and organisations ensure that they have good security to help safeguard them from the effect of a possible break-in. Astute business owners and managers ensure that they do everything possible to prevent this from happening in the first place. Therefore they make sure they have effective security available.

For ...
... some that may be manned security at their premises during night-time, or 24/7 if they feel they need that. Few systems, however, are ever fail-safe. Even with manned security things can go wrong and break-ins can occur. That is why so many more businesses today look at the options of technology, and also because great technology often cuts out the necessity of having guards roam your property.

A great example that refers is the installation of cameras and alarms at your property, such as CCTV, closed-circuit television, or as it is referred to, “video surveillance”. This is a great deterrent to any criminal activity. But with all new and modern systems, there is always the possibility to improve upon existing systems – to be able to add even more value in terms of which any such criminal behaviour can be captured and recorded as evidence later, in a court case, for example.

Of course, such systems are very sophisticated today and a good installer and leading service will make sure they offer their client all other additional features of great value, such as ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) for identifying the movement of vehicles, and other forms of access control. The latest technology is far superior to what was available in the past, and owners of businesses and buildings, their managers, and caretakers are now able to have all the evidence of any movement and activity recorded where these systems are installed.

Traditional, analogue CCTV is great but compared to the most recent options such as IP CCTV they do not offer the same high-quality, clear images and sound, for example. That is why more and more owners of buildings now rely on, for example, biometrics to make sure they capture and record those images they want to capture. Biometrics, for instance, refers to the application of statistical analysis insofar as it can be captured to measure, say, fingerprints and facial features that can identify an individual. This is a great improvement on analogue systems, as it can prove with no doubt who criminals are, and when and how they entered your premises.

These facial recognition systems allow for biometrics to map a person’s facial lines, contours, and other features to create a perfect image from a photograph or video, which is a great source of peace of mind for the business whose CCTV camera system does offer this feature. Such intelligent video analytics make it possible to track the movements and recognise vehicles and the faces of individuals and groups that enter your premises, either with or without permission. It is, of course, an important tool whenever criminal behaviour is suspected. Biometric face recognition is possible these days with a good security system. It is, however, only one of the various applications that can be used effectively where security is required.
