5 Keys to Getting the Most out of Outdoor Security
With challenging landscapes, ever-changing environments, and new and unexpected threats, offering a robust and layered outdoor security system is necessary for any integrator.
Outdoor security is rife with challenges and obstacles not faced indoors, and thus resists the kind of repeatable, uniform solutions that can often fit various indoor locations with sometimes only minor adjustments. In addition, due to the wide range of customer types, such as data centers, critical infrastructure, retail, commercial buildings, public buildings, cities, highways, airports and others, there can be a variety of applications.
