A good way to comprehend FLIR Nexus is to first grasp the central challenges facing security managers today. According to Ignacio, the primary one here is the need for greater situational awareness. “This includes understanding a given circumstance, collecting and analysing relevant information, and making informed decisions to address any potential risks,” he explains. In thinking about a conventional design for perimeter security, many would expect the system to include a variety...

Situational awareness involves understanding a given circumstance, collecting relevant information, analysing it, and making informed decisions to address any potential risks. When applying this to perimeter security, it is common practice to see designs that fortify the perimeter; but once that alarm happens, it is uncommon to have a system that provides continuous coverage and relevant information operators need to make an informed decision as the potential threat progresses. Combination of...
