When we started in my basement, security was a one-horse kind of industry. You installed a camera, a badge re…Read More

    Managing an apartment complex with a single uniform security system is complicated enough; managing a business park, mall, or other structure with multiple businesses and security needs is in a league all its own.

    How often does science fiction affect the evolution of technology for our world? Think about the communicator used by characters in Star Trek - it’s easy enough to make the leap to modern day cell phone based on shape and function.

    Thanks in large part to George Orwell’s novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, many jokingly or seriously refer to security camera systems as “Big Brother.” This is an impressive legacy for a novel written in 1949, when security camera systems as we know them had barely been a twinkle in developers’ eyes. In Orwell’s novel, the constant refrain, “Big Brother is watching you,” serves as a daunti…Read More

    When you think about bank security, what is the first thing to come to mind? Odds are good you immediately see the two-foot-thick solid steel contraption with the spinning lock made infamous by movies and cartoons.
