Magnasphere and the physical security vulnerability you may not know about
Magnasphere and the physical security vulnerability you may not know about
If you have an alarm system thats dependent on the decades-old reed switches like the one pictured below, you should know they can be easily defeated with a mere compass and a magnet. Its pretty eye-opening...
Certainly a good reason to have two, three, or (depending the country you live in and your stance on self-defense) more layers of security in your building or home! :-)
A good option for beefing up your security and preventing this type of physical breach is offered by Magnasphere. I was recently introduced to the Magnasphere wireless door/window security switches (MSS-RFS-100). Its a great technology, especially if you have a need for a wireless security sensor configuration. They make standard security contacts as well. Either way, its worth a look-see if this is in your line of work.
