Abstract
Individual papers examine methods of improving protection against sabotage and theft, the nature of integrated security system, the use of activated barriers, coaxial cable sensors, and seismic detector systems. Additional papers consider the use of closed-circuit television for a power plant, the use of low-light level television along an international boundary, and an integrated security display and control system called SENTRAX II. Further papers describe a real-time positive identity verification system, discuss the uses of robots in security, explain modern security uses of animals, and examine emergency monitoring systems for the elderly.
