In the modern world that we live in, technology is playing an ever-greater role in everything we do. The security industry is of course no different, and whilst nothing can beat security services provided in person rather than by machines, technology certainly helps the people in the industry to do their jobs.

CCTV and camera technology is incredibly important in identification and helping security guards to keep premises secure. These systems will help people to monitor premises as well as view activities that took place in retrospect.

Security guards also rely on increasingly complex systems for controlling entrance to buildings. Many office blocks, headquarters and other corporate premises will have identification systems upon entering the building. People may also have to sign in and out so that there is a clear record of who is inside for safety and security purposes.

Guards working at night time will also rely on alarm systems to alert them to intrusions. These can be incredibly sophisticated, and can cover very specific areas to make sure nowhere is left vulnerable to an attack. Many security guards will also rely on additional technological services within their own fields.
