And, with more delivery drivers on the road, there are going to be more accidents among gig-economy workers. Based on recent estimates, food and grocery delivery are expected to remain popular, even as we get back to normal life. High popularity of mobile security apps and wearables With more work shifting from stationary locations to working on-the-go, mobile security apps or wearables can be a lifeline in all sorts of situations.
Domestic violence cases increased According to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, due to COVID lockdown restrictions, domestic violence rose as a result of many victims being stuck at home with their abusers, while sheltering in place and working from home. Attorneys General and other state-elected officials have endorsed mobile safety apps, like SoSecure by ADT These situations necessitate the need for discreet ways for victims to call for help.
Attorneys General and other state-elected officials have endorsed mobile safety apps, like SoSecure by ADT, as a tool to help victims of domestic abuse, safely call for help, without alerting their abuser. Over the past year, the mobile safety app market has seen tremendous innovation, including more user-friendly ways to make SOS calls. Today, within a single app, a person can summon help hands-free, by saying a secret phrase, by text or by swiping a button.
Extension of mobile safety into wearable devices And, users can connect with people trained to help in unsettling situations over video, which can be an effective deterrent and provide video evidence. There will always be some safety risks in our lives. The focus from to was on anti-terrorism, and vehicle barriers appeared at military and government facilities around the world.
The U. Capitol breach on Jan.

Portable crash barriers The equipment can also be controlled remotely and integrated with PSIM-type systems. Although the systems are stand-alone, some clients have been toying with the idea of controlling them through the internet, emphasizing the importance of appropriate cybersecurity. A separate line of portable crash barriers can be towed into place in 15 minutes by a vehicle or even a golf cart.

We have seen a shift from mechanical locks to electronic locks and door access control systems which are more relied upon nowadays for watertight security and safety.
But, choosing the system that is the best for you requires understanding how both these technologies work. In this article, you will get a clear idea of: How electronic locks are better than traditional locks The difference between access control systems and new locking mechanisms Why biometric technology is the best access control system What are traditional locks?
These are mechanical locks having strong metal deadbolts, knob locks, levers, etc. They always require a matching physical key. Mechanical locks are easy to install and can protect houses and small offices. However, their keys can be copied easily. The new-age electronic locks Electronic or digital door locks give you increased control over who can enter your premises, extending greater security and accessibility.
They are operated using cards or biometrics. Some smart digital locks also provide information on who accessed your door and when, and any attempts of forced entry. Insight: Although more costly than traditional locks, electronic locks are a better option and investment. What is access control? Access control is a comprehensive system of security that covers all the doors or access points of your premises, only allows entry to people who are registered in the system, exercises surveillance in terms of IDing each user requesting access, and maintains detailed records of all transactions done on the system.
The elements required for installing and operating an access control system are: The access reader — This is installed on or beside the door or the access point, is connected to the electric lock, and acts upon the instructions programmed into it by the administrator. The control panel — This stores all the information of the access keys, employees, visitors, etc. Electronic lock — The access control door locks are controlled by the control panel. Access control systems go beyond electronic locks as they bring your entire premises under one security framework for convenient monitoring.
Biometric technology has been earning immense approval all over the world in the last two decades. From quick access to managing records of visitors, biometrics does it all, making it the best access control system in use. As a general practice, companies looking to install biometric security solutions should consider the following points to make their decision easier and more accurate: The purpose for which the system is to be installed. The group of employees who will be using it.
The area and scale where it is going to function. Understanding Biometric Access Control Mechanisms According to reports, biometric verification was first encouraged by law enforcement agencies in the s to identify criminals.
Later, it was adopted by businesses and large companies for recording the attendance of their employees and maintaining records. Next in line is facial recognition, which is slightly expensive due to its equipment and tech, but highly adopted, nevertheless.

Like any piece of high-powered gear, it will take some time to delve into all the features of this unit, once configured. The aforementioned features are great and can improve the workflow for any video department, but, as the old adage goes, you get what you pay for. Copyright c Production Media, Inc.
