Built-in Intelligence For All-New AUTODOME IP 4000i And 5000i Cameras From Bosch
Until now, level of detail has been the key quality parameter for surveillance cameras, as clear images at all times was the most important feature for high security. True, security personnel must see all relevant information in great detail to react quickly and take appropriate action. But what if a moving object leaves the camera?s field of view? The AUTODOME IP family of pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) cameras is the answer. These enable users manually to keep track of persons of interest as they move – even at speed, far beyond a fixed camera?s field of view.
Expert Breaks Down WPA2 Security Flaw, Explains Solutions
Researchers have discovered a key flaw in the WPA2 Wi-Fi encryption protocol that allows hackers to intercept credit card numbers, passwords, photos and other sensitive information.

First Cybersecurity Rule When Implementing Card-Based Systems: Encrypt!
It used to be that the most important aspect of implementing an electronic access control system was the simple control of who went where when. Today, the requirements of these sophisticated systems goes beyond.

Buffalo Police Prepare To Use Body-Worn Cameras In Pilot Program
Editor’s Note: This City of Buffalo is by no means an early adopter of body-worn camera technology. And it is interesting to see the city deal with the same challenges that almost every other city goes through when starting a program to outfit their police officers with body-worn cameras. With so many cities across the United States (and the world) utilizing this technology and seeing the benefits —and learning about the video storage costs and available solutions— how can cities that are just now embracing this technology learn from their sister cities and leap-frog the challenge of ignorance.
What?s The Worst That Could Happen With Huge Databases Of Facial Biometric Data?
The widespread use of facial recognition technology is almost upon us. The new iPhone is available with FaceID where you can unlock your phone with your face. Facial recognition is not new. It?s been a sci-fi staple for decades, and its practical roots are in the 1960s with Palo Alto researchers on RAND Tablets manually mapping out people?s features. Even back then we could give a computer enough data to be able to match a person to a their photograph.
Integrated Security Solutions Add New Layer
?Security is always too much until the day that it is not enough.? This quote, coined by former FBI director William H. Webster, perfectly summarizes the physical security industry. The irony of this fact is that a well-functioning security solution is transparent to the end-user. It is only if the security system fails that it comes to the attention of management. For this reason, both developers and condominium boards have shown some reluctance to invest in high-end security methods. There are many good reasons for this hesitation. Previously any security system over and above a camera system (referred to as a video surveillance system or VSS) has been seen as an upgrade due to the cost of the equipment and of running cables. Recent advances in the equipment have made VSS, and other technologies, much more useful and affordable to condominiums.
