We have entered an era marked by rapid technological evolution and an ever-changing threat landscape. Security systems have evolved and developed from the earliest security system invented 170 years ago by Edwin Holmes, his alarm system was one of the earliest attempts to provide protection against unauthorized intruders and burglaries, and is a historically significant innovation in the field of security systems. From these early beginnings the global security industry has evolved exponentially and is now estimated to be worth hundreds of billions of dollars annually. We will chart the evolution of security systems from the early developments in19th century to the highly sophisticated and technologically advanced solutions available today.
