Read the first 7 Security Technology and Solutions flashcards as text

  1. What is the function of a video management system (VMS)?

    Answer: Software that manages, records, and retrieves video from IP cameras

    A VMS is the software platform used to configure, record, monitor, and retrieve video footage from networked IP cameras.

  2. A client is concerned about tailgating at a secure entrance. Which solution best addresses this?

    Answer: Mantrap or security vestibule with anti-passback

    A mantrap (security vestibule) with anti-passback ensures only one person can enter per credential presentation, preventing tailgating.

  3. Which wireless protocol is most commonly used for short-range communication between access control credentials and readers?

    Answer: 125 kHz proximity or 13.56 MHz RFID (HID)

    125 kHz proximity cards and 13.56 MHz RFID smart cards (such as HID iCLASS) are the dominant technologies for credential-to-reader communication in access control.

  4. What does 'resolution' refer to in the context of video surveillance?

    Answer: The number of pixels in a camera image, affecting detail and clarity

    Resolution measures the pixel count of a camera's image; higher resolution captures more detail, enabling better identification of subjects.

  5. A prospect asks about 'edge recording' in IP cameras. What does this mean?

    Answer: Video is stored directly on an SD card within the camera itself

    Edge recording means the camera stores video locally on an onboard SD card, providing recording capability even if network connectivity is lost.

  6. Which alarm panel feature allows sensors to be temporarily disabled without disarming the entire system?

    Answer: Zone bypassing

    Zone bypassing lets a user disable a specific sensor (e.g., an open window) while keeping the rest of the alarm system fully armed.

  7. What is 'video analytics' in modern surveillance systems?

    Answer: Software that automatically detects events like loitering, line crossing, or object removal in video

    Video analytics uses AI and algorithms to automatically detect predefined events or behaviors in live or recorded video, reducing the need for constant manual monitoring.
