When it comes to setting up surveillance in set- tings that aren't necessarily public, check your state's law on monitoring. Each state has its own policy as to the number of parties required to give consent for the recording to be used. Lastly, remember that the purpose of audio monitoring is not to intrude on people's privacy, and when monitoring is prop- erly conducted this is not the case, but to provide people with a sense of extra security and safety. The battle for security is fierce and the consequences for not upholding it are substantial. If organizations truly want to combat theft, assault and other crimes, security directors need to use all security resources that are at their disposal, and audio is no exception. As the security industry continues to move toward system integration, let's move with it and tap into the power of emerging technologies like audio. ■ by Rich ard Bren t The All New CopperLine® from ComNet allows you to use your existing cable infrastructure of COAX or UTP as Ethernet media for your next system renovation.

Reflection can occur off the skin and sub- dermally, creating a profile for which there are no known spoofing techniques. The enrollment process takes about 15 seconds, and the system can easily capture multi- factor authentication. Some of the bright- est minds I know in the industry have been intrigued by Coprometro's technology. Feenics is the child of Canada-based Future Security Controls — acquired by Convergint in December 2013. The found- er was apparently able to spin this access control product off as a separate company, after numerous installations of this prod- uct within its own customer base. Having recruited some ex-Lenel staffers, the com- pany displays a mature understanding of market needs and trends. Their product is available as a cloud managed services or private label offering, or as an enterprise software package, and sports a nicely devel- oped user interface. ■ detect when a door is propped open more than momentarily, and to visually—wheth- er remotely or in person—visually monitor the room when the door is kept open. Correcting Non-Secure Hinges For facilities where there has been no known security inspection to determine if all perimeter doors have security hinged installed, such an inspection should be made a high priority. Door hinges with set- screw or security stud features cost only five to ten dollars more than similar non- security hinges. Commercial door hinges are usually in the $100 to $200 price range, a fraction of the cost of the equipment and systems being protected. Replacing non- secure hinges on critical equipment room doors is a low-cost quick-win security improvement. ■ (Perimeter Doors...continued from page 8) (New Technology...continued from page 10)
