Physical Security defines measures taken to deny unauthorized access to facilities, equipment and resources and to protect people and property. Physical Security is designed to prevent serious loss, injury or damage. Access Control is a part of providing Physical Security and is intended to regulate who or what can access or use resources. Key locks, access terminals, card readers, biometric readers and intercoms are all common elements in providing access control. Video Surveillance is also part of providing Physical Security. Video Surveillance is a system of camera and other related sensors which monitor activity in an area or building.
