Beyond Traditional Locks
While traditional locks are still very much in use nowadays they are no longer the only way to protect your home and now we have even more advanced security measures that offer better protection.
From smart locks to biometric access systems these new tools are raising security standards to levels we have never seen before. In this article we’ll look at these new technologies, what can we benefit, possible downsides and their great impact on the world of security.
Smart Locks
Since their appearance smart locks have significantly changed the way we secure our homes. No more physical keys just a simple tap on your smartphone will quickly lock and unlock your home from anywhere you’re at.
These locks use wireless technology to connect to the internet letting you control it remotely and some models even provide extra features like temporary access codes for visitors and can work with other smart home security systems like alarms. With that being said it’s important to take I account cybersecurity issues and the dependency on batteries.
Biometric Access Systems
Biometric access systems even take it to a higher security level by using unique biological characteristics like fingerprints or facial recognition to verify a person identity. These systems offer a very secure way to control access to extremely high level secure areas.
Unlike keys or codes your biometric data can’t be transferred or cop pied, making it a strong line of defense against unauthorized access. Yet these systems are not 100% perfect and there are still few downsides like privacy issues and how accurate they are but it is improving day by day.
Smart Surveillance Technologies
High definition cameras, motion sensors and advanced analytics software work together nowadays to detect and deter intruders. This systems provide real time alerts and video feeds that allow a very quick response to any potential threats. Cloud based storage solutions enable remote access to recorded footage.
It might sound like taken out from a Sci-Fi movie but virtual security guards are a new approach in security services which offer a cost effective solution for 24/7 on premises surveillance.
With machine learning algorithms and new AI technologies virtual security guards are monitorring commercial properties in real time, they detect suspicious activity and send real time alerts. They can also handle tasks like monitoring multiple camera feeds simultaneously and analyzing dangerous behavior patterns right on the spot.
These systems can be used for residential commercial properties and extremely improve security measures without needing physical human presence.
