It consists of search coil and control module housed on an archway. The detector have a preprogrammed sensitivity levels which can be high, medium low. Metal-detector technology is a huge part of our lives, with a range of uses that spans from leisure to work to safety. The metal detectors in airports, office buildings, schools, government agencies and prisons help ensure that no one is bringing a weapon onto the premises. Consumer-oriented metal detectors provide millions of people around the world with an opportunity to discover hidden treasures. The operation of metal detectors is based upon the principles of electromagnetic induction. Metal detectors contain one or more inductor coils that are used to interact with metallic elements on the ground. Control and audio visual alarms are fixed on the top of the rear side of archway. It requires nearly 10 min for installation.

Application and Uses of Cctv in an Industry⟋Organization

A Closed Circuit TeleVision (CCTV) is a video magnification system consisting of a video screen interfaced with a video camera. Video magnification is achieved in two ways-the electronic conversion from the small camera imager to the larger display screen and the optical effect of the cameras zoom lens. The CCTV system provides high contrast, inverse video display, gray scale, false colors, natural colors, and⟋or control of contrast level and brightness. A CCTV is a video camera connected to a monitor. The camera usually has a zoom feature, which allows the user to magnify anything placed in the camera՚s view. Application in industrial security

Cctv is the most effective security system for use with security organizations. It can be used in all security functioning and many be hooked up with other devices also. However its adoption in developing countries is rather slow due to the higher costs as compared to the other systems. The true scope for applications is almost unlimited. Some examples are listed below:

  • Monitoring traffic on a bridge.
  • Recording the inside of a baking oven to find the cause of problems.
  • A temporary system to carry out a traffic survey in a town centre.
  • Time lapse recording for the animation of plasticine puppets.
  • Used by the stage manager of a show to see obscured parts of a set.
  • The well-publicised use at football stadiums.
  • Hidden in buses to control vandalism.
  • Recording the birth of a gorilla at a zoo.
  • Making a wildlife program using a large model helicopter.
  • Reproducing the infrared vision of a goldfish!
  • Aerial photography from a hot air balloon.
  • Production control in a factory.
  • The list is almost endless and only limited by the imagination.

In all the industries, it is not only the interior security system which matters, but management of exterior security system is equally important. Generally all the treats and other unlawful activities starts in case there is laxity in the exterior security set up. To counter possible threats there are number of electronic and mechanical capabilities of industrial security will be enhanced to greater extent.
