High Security and Home Security electronic
systems are mutually exclusive. These are two completely different
areas involving totally different technologies and wide disparities
in quality and reliability. The general public knows very little
about electronic security systems and usually thinks of advanced
high security systems in terms of what they have seen in someone's
home. High security systems in some movies are frequently thought
of as Science Fiction. Actually, some of those systems are already
yesterday's technology.
Home Security systems and components are characterized
by cheap commodities that embody very low grade technologies. Some
of the components look like High School science projects. Schematics
abound on the Internet utilizing parts from any local electronics
shop. Security companies often install complete systems
for free as part of a larger service contract. To be competitive,
these components are frequently made in Asia and shipped to Western
venues by the container load. Home Security electronics is only intended
to raise an alert to petty criminals. Home Security electronics is
not intended to slow down a professional and never was. Any professional
intruder will walk right through as if nothing was there. The concept that any kind of physical system, whether a Home Security System or a High Security System, may consist exclusively of advanced locks and video cameras monitored by guards is gravely uninformed of professional systems, professional intruders and the risks involved.
High Security Electronic Systems and components
must be very high grade usually meeting military standards. This
alone puts the price far beyond anything any home owner would ever
want to spend. The price of a single military grade sensor can
be higher than the cost of an entire home system. The technologies
involved frequently require specialized knowledge from individuals
with advanced degrees and years of experience in this field. These
High Security systems are intended to protect high value assets,
such as banks, government buildings, military installations and
data processing centers. Intruders are usually met by armed guards
authorized to use lethal force. The only way to breach a highly
advance electronic security system is from the "inside".
Statistics show that virtually all penetrations of advance high
security systems have been from the inside.
High Security System components are rated in grades depending upon
the level of security required. This requires a cost risk analysis.
We offer several grades in all categories. The newer
digital models are absolutely undefeatable. |
