SOUND CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES INSTALL
If rolling a truck and climbing a ladder to install a camera is a small ask, the ask to also install a loudspeaker is not a big one and with the increasing instance of AVoIP, network topology is quite similar and security integrators have less requirement to know arcane AV protocols and I/Os. The confluence of security and AV is further accelerated - especially in the residential space - by the fact that security dealers are now being asked by clients to provide a broader array of low-voltage services.
Third, security of AV technology is a consideration where the content - whether it is a movie, sports event or new song - is rights-protected and a hack could lead to a loss-inducing piracy event. Coming in a close second are the environments where AV serves a critical life-safety or communications function - venues like stadia, transportation hubs and educational environments where the wrong message over an AV system could cause chaos and send people toward danger. This is why AV systems in conferencing environments from the White House to industry, are among the highest-priority realms for security professionals. Some would argue that data is the most critical asset to secure. This applies as much to a new EV as it does to a surveillance camera, and it certainly applies to AV technology.
We want to make sure that every device is physically secure, that control of the device is secured, and that the data going to and from the device is also secure.
Security is a consideration in the evaluation of all technology today.
