- pydry 4y agoIncreased prevalence of CCTV perhaps.
- ortusdux 4y agoThere is a fair amount of new tech coming out soon. Ring sells their drone security camera, and I expect to see outdoor patrolling drones soon. There is also the new WIFI tech that can detect people via mesh network signal interference. One company is already selling a home security network that leverages it. We will soon see plenty of cheap mesh systems that can count the number of people on the property and recognize types of motion.

I guess though it would be a good tool for outdoor security, but then the main deterrent of a security guard there is they have a gun and come running when you're stealing the stuff.
- ortusdux 4y agoMy first thought for big businesses would be smart badges with positioning and biometrics. That way their system could cross-reference the number and location of known individuals with detected people.
- m463 4y agoI would imagine "smart" surveillance cameras which can do all kinds of coordinated motion sensing and tracking, and possibly keyless entry systems which eliminate the guard at the front door.
