Nearly every morning I start my computer time by looking at information from Google about what happened in my blog in the previous 24 hours. Google, and blogspot.com is a Google service, provides interesting pieces of analytical data about my blog readership. One item of particular interest is the top ten blog posts each day. As you would expect, most of those posts were from the last couple of days, but with 16 years of publishing this blog, every once-in-a-while, a blog post from ancient history rises into that list.
Today, a blog post from May 11th, 2009, Video Escorts, made the list. This was a discussion about the use of video surveillance systems with sophisticated analytics tools to perform the required escort of uncleared personnel about a facility. While the post includes a fairly down-in-the-weeds discussion of CFATS regulatory requirements, many of those considerations are still applicable to unregulated security issues.
There are two other interesting things about this post related to reader comments. The first is not visible. I had a number of comments submitted to this offering ‘video escort’ services that had nothing to do with security issues. This is one of the reasons that I moderate the comments published to my blog posts.
There is a reader comment published with this post. It comes from a recognized video surveillance expert, John Honovich. One of the fun things about writing this blog over the years has been the number of intelligent subject matter experts that I have had the privilege of talking with about facility security topics. They have helped educate me about the wide variety of topics that blogs like this are forced to cover.
