Introduction
Technology is the application of scientific knowledge to the practical goals of human life, or, as it is sometimes called, the manipulation and transformation of the human environment.
A number of articles deal with the topic of technology.
See technology, history of; hand tool for a more general treatment. See elastomers, industrial ceramics, industrial glass, metallurgy, mineral deposit, mineral processing, mining, and plastic for descriptions of materials that are both the object and means of modifying the environment. See energy conversion, coal mining, coal utilization, petroleum production, and petroleum refining for information on energy generation.

CCTV & VIDEO SURVEILLANCE
Video cameras are used to monitor an area and are connected to a recording device or an IP network. They are then controlled in a control room. With video analytics systems capable of serving a number of applications such as traffic and crowd control management, heat-mapping, footfall analysis & social distancing, or face mask identify, video surveillance technologies are employed for far more than its beginnings in crime detection.
Video surveillance cameras are increasingly being integrated into other physical security and building management platforms to provide security and facilities managers with more sophisticated data. In addition, rather than on-premise solutions, video is increasingly being saved or managed on cloud-based platforms. VSaaS stands for “Virtual Software as a Service” (Video Surveillance as a Service) providers commonly charge monthly recurring costs to maintain, store & secure an disorganization video surveillance footage.
Access Control System
To distinguish it from access control that restricts people from entering virtual areas – such as when logging into a computer network – we commonly refer to it as physical access control. Although one of its key functions is to improve security, a physical access control system can also provide a variety of other advantages. Improved efficiency of your business processes and site or building management are just a few examples.
What is an access control system?
We commonly refer to an electronic security system when we talk about a physical access control system. To authorize someone to enter specified places, they usually utilize an identifier such as an access card. They can also provide vital data to help you track how your buildings and sites are used because they can register who accessed where and when.
Fire Alarm
When smoke, fire, carbon monoxide, or other fire-related hazards are detected, a fire alarm system sounds an alert. These alarms can be triggered automatically by smoke and heat detectors, or manually by manual fire alarm activation systems such manual call points or pull stations. Alarms can be either motorized bells or sounders or horns that can be mounted on the wall.
They can also be speaker strobes that sound an alert and then play a voice evacuation message warning people not to use the elevators inside the building. Depending on the country and manufacturer of the device, fire alarm sounders can be tuned to different frequencies and tones, such as low, medium, and high.
AUDIO/VIDEO Door Entry System
A door entry system, also known as an access control system, is used to regulate access to and from a restricted area, building, or zone in residential and commercial settings, particularly in multi-tenant / multi-user settings.
PIR-activated automated doors, PIN code keypads, contactless proximity readers, and biometric door entry using face recognition, fingerprint scanners, or iris detection for identity identification are just a few of the options available.
What types of door entry systems are there?
- Audio-only Door Entry System
- Video Door Entry System
- Keypad door entry systems
SMATV/SYSTEM
SMATV stands for Single Master Antenna Television (or Satellite Master Antenna Television) and is used to provide and control the amount and kind of channels to multiple televisions.
Not just television, but also radio stations. It allows hotels, motels, dormitories, schools, hospitals, and commercial facilities with many tenants to get DBS TV/FM channels. Video signals, audio signals, and decoder signals can all be disseminated using a master antenna system.

A master antenna and a matching transformer are used to match the balanced antenna with unbalanced cable and amplifiers in the system. The impedance of most antennas is roughly 300 ohms. A matching transformer (or balun) is utilized to convert it to 75 volts. A resistive inductive device called as a splitter is used to isolate trunk lines. Through coaxial trunk lines, the amplifier output is delivered to the splitter.
Lighting Control System & Automatons
Automated lighting control, such as programmable dimming and on-off control, can completely revolutionize a home and its inhabitants’ lifestyle. With decreasing costs and complexity, these systems are no longer limited to high-end residences.
In 2004, an estimated 1.5 million residences were set to be built. According to the NAHB/CEA State of the Builder Technology Market Study, automated systems were found in 7.4% of new houses.
Furthermore, home lighting automation is no longer solely a luxury item, but has evolved into a lifestyle item as costs and complexity have decreased, with controllers starting at $100. According to manufacturers, lighting automation is rapidly growing in the move-up category due to its lower cost.
Structured Cabling
Technology evolves and changes at a breakneck pace, sometimes quicker than you can imagine. These new tools have the potential to improve business productivity, security, and agility. These tools, on the other hand, require the correct network to function.
Structured cabling is a network made up of smaller, standardized components. Structured cabling systems can be installed in a building or throughout a campus. This type of network cabling is capable of supporting all of the continuously evolving technology in the office.
BARRIERS AND GATE AUTOMATIONS
A boom barrier is a bar or pole mounted on a pivot that can move up and down to regulate vehicle access to a specific location. It’s suitable for both commercial and residential applications. The size, shape, and operation of an automatic security gate or boom barrier varies. A Boom Barrier is an added layer of security for your home or business. It ensures that vehicle mobility within your premises is under your control.
Automations for Boom Barriers and Gates
Boom gates are commonly found at rail crossings, drawbridges, parking lots, checkpoints, and restricted area entrances. They are also the most common method for controlling passage through toll booths, and they can be found on some freeway entrance ramps that are automatically controlled to drop to restrict traffic in the event of an accident or a road closure, eliminating the need to dispatch road workers or law enforcement to use a vehicle to block the way.
IP PBX SERVER
An IP PBX is a telecommunications device that connects desk phones in a building to offer voice connectivity. It uses an internet connection to manage outgoing and incoming calls throughout its telephone network.
Let’s take a closer look at this definition.
IP – Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol for sending data from one server to another. Calls are established over the internet using this technology.
PBX (Private Branch Exchange) – A PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is an internal telephone network. A PBX can be installed on-premises or securely hosted in the cloud.
While maintaining analog phones throughout the office, an IP PBX phone system can make and receive phone calls over the internet.
For phone connectivity, IP PBX phone systems rely on SIP Trunking.
NETWORK SOLUTION
In business and communications, computer networks, such as the Internet, play a significant role. Companies would be unable to engage in e-commerce without them, and the vast majority of business systems would grind to a full halt. As a result, networks have become synonymous with the persons and businesses they connect in many ways by facilitating real-time relationships between multiple parties. Networks provide members with speed, connectivity, and eventually value, as well as answers to business difficulties and problems that would otherwise be impossible to solve.
E-commerce relies heavily on integrated, networked systems. In an ideal world, businesses would be able to seamlessly connect all of their underlying computer systems, both new and old.
