Security is absolutely critical to staying safe in the modern world. As in every other walk of life, technology has revolutionised the security industry over the past few decades and have made protecting either a home or business easier than ever before.
There are now a huge selection of tools and gadgets available on the market, all packed full of AI smart technology designed to counter a variety of common security concerns.
Some of these tools may be utilised by a professional security company Glasgow to optimise security on behalf of their clients, whilst others may be more beneficial for home use for property owners looking to keep their homes and families safe from harm.
Smart doorbells
Smart doorbells are a common sight on properties across the UK, allowing homeowners to see who is approaching their property without opening the front door. Not only can homeowners see the outside of their property using a smart doorbell but they can also communicate with those outside using the built-in two way speaker system via their smartphone. This is a great security feature but also perfect for more routine purposes such as talking to delivery drivers or letting a visitor know when they will be back.
For maximum security, smart door bell cameras can be combined with smart locks that allow you to grant or deny access to a property remotely.
Smart Locks
Smart locks can be opened or closed remotely using your smartphone, but this is only the beginning of the benefits they have to offer.
On business sites, smart lock apps can be used to track comings and goings and become a valuable tool for productivity and project management. Smart locks have been used in hotels and other shared accommodation for many years now, providing additional security in comparison to traditional lock and key set-ups and ensuring that a certain person can be granted access for a set period of time before access is revoked.
AI CCTV Towers
CCTV towers can be in place in a matter of minutes, providing instant temporary security on any site, no matter how remote or seemingly inaccessible it may be. Many sites only need CCTV for a short period of time (think construction sites and temporary event venues) and installing fixed CCTV is either not worth the money or is simply impossible due to the nature of the venue.
CCTV towers fix all these problems and more and come equipped with a whole host of smart AI features such as virtual tripwire and motion detection that will keep intruders at bay.
Biometric access gates
Biometric access control gates that utilise fingerprint or retina scanners to verify the identity of those attempting to gain access are now common place in offices and other business premises serious about their security.
These systems are far superior to key cards or ID cards that can be forged or stolen and rely solely on completely unique biological characteristics to identify visitors.
