Physical Security Systems
There are several important security systems that businesses use for physical security. Some of the most common ones include:
Access Control Systems: Access control systems are used to restrict entry to specific areas within a facility or building. These systems can use various forms of identification such as keycards, biometric scanners, or PIN codes to ensure only authorized individuals are granted access.
Video Surveillance Systems: Video surveillance systems (or CCTV Systems) are used to monitor and record activity within a facility or building. These systems typically include cameras, digital video recorders (DVRs), and software to manage and view recorded footage.
Intrusion Detection Systems: Intrusion detection systems are designed to detect and alert security personnel of any unauthorized entry or attempted entry into a facility or building. These systems can include motion sensors, glass break detectors, and door and window sensors.
Alarm Systems: Alarm systems are designed to alert security personnel and occupants of a facility or building in the event of an emergency, such as a fire, gas leak, or intrusion. These systems can include audible alarms, strobe lights, and automatic notifications to emergency services.
Perimeter Security Systems: Perimeter security systems (sometimes referred to as Fence Intrusion Detection Systems or FIDS) are used to secure the outer boundaries of a facility or building, typically including fencing, gates, and barriers. These systems can also include sensors and cameras to monitor the perimeter and detect any attempted breaches.
Overall, these systems work together to provide a comprehensive physical security solution for businesses and organizations.
Command and Control Centres - Physical Security Information Management Systems (PSIM)
PSIM stands for Physical Security Information Management, and PSIM software is a type of software that integrates data and information from various security systems and devices, such as access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, and fire alarm systems.
PSIM software allows for centralized monitoring and management of all these systems, providing a single interface for security operators to view and manage security events in real-time. PSIM software can also provide advanced analytics and reporting capabilities, allowing security operators to identify patterns, trends, and potential threats.
This software can be customized and tailored to specific business needs, allowing for flexibility in security management. For example, PSIM software can be configured to trigger automated responses to security events, such as locking down a building in response to an intruder alert. Overall, PSIM software provides a comprehensive approach to physical security management, allowing for greater situational awareness and faster response times to security incidents.
