Access control, video surveillance, and intrusion detection systems evolved largely independently in the physical security industry. Integrating those systems to the benefit of an enterprise's overall security has traditionally fallen on security integrators working in cooperation with manufacturers. However, today's market has also evolved to include companies that provide "unified platforms,” bringing together various disparate security systems and functions under a single, centralized...

We asked our Expert Panel Roundtable: How is artificial intelligence (AI) transforming physical security?

In many cases, architectural design and layout dictate optimal placement of security devices like cameras, access control readers, and sensors.
