IMPORTANCE AND FUTURE OF NEW ELECTRONIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE SECURITY SYSTEMS INDUSTRY, THE APPLICATION OF WHICH WILL DECREASE THE CRIME RATE AND INCREASE PRIVATE PROFIT.
Abstract
THE ELECTRONICS SEGMENT OF THE SECURITY INDUSTRY SEEMS TO BE DIRECTED TOWARDS THE SOLVING OF OVERALL FAILURES IN EQUIPMENT AND THE PHYSICS OF THE SYSTEM, AS WELL AS TO THE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OF SEPARATE CUSTOMERS. IN THE COMING DECADE MORE SOPHISTICATED SENSOR AND SYSTEM SIGNALPROCESSING TECHNIQUES WILL BE EMPLOYED. THESE WILL REDUCE FALSE ALARMS AND RESULT IN CONSIDERABLE SAVINGS IN LABOR AND WASTED MAN-HOURS. A REDUCTION IN FLASE ALARMS WILL ALSO EFFECT THE FUTURE OF INSURANCE RATE DISCOUNTS. FINALLY, WHILE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WILL BE CONCENTRATING PRIMARILY ON SOLVING CRIMES AGAINST PERSONS, THE PHYSICAL PROTECTION OF PROPERTY WILL BE LEFT INCREASINGLY TO PRIVATE INTERESTS.
