Situational Awareness – Part 1
Across the physical security industry, the label “situational awareness” has been applied to products and systems that weren’t advanced enough to provide the capabilities truly needed.
Situational Awareness – Part 2
Information technology is evolving at an ever-accelerating pace, and consequently the technical capabilities that are available for integrated security system design are continually advancing as well. If we don’t understand the important role of situational awareness, our system designs will be incomplete.
Situational Awareness – Part 3
Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets have changed the technology landscape, and in doing so have expanded the number of users for security applications.
