surveillance

The world of physical security, long the domain of the defense industry and governments, has fully arrived on Main Street.  Small businesses, homeowners, schools, and churches, are all finding ways to increase the security of their buildings and patrons.  Surveillance cameras are also being used regularly for the purpose of documenting crime events, serving as a deterrent.

The surveillance tag is frequently used in blogs written by security experts, manufacturers, and consultants.  Generally, the term surveillance refers to video camera systems, but technically, it can also refer to systems such as intrusion detection and access control.

Some of the helpful blogs on the subject are:

Security Sales & Integration -- Articles written by industry experts and manufacturers

2MCCTV Blog — Articles by consultants

Stanley Security Blog — Articles by manufacturer

The "surveillance" tag is helpful to consultants and consumers who need a give-and-take discussion about cutting-edge technology, such as HD, as well as the old stand-by, and highly reliable, analog technology.
