Home system security has never been so efficient in functioning; thanks to the PLC (programmable logic controller). But not everyone are aware of this technology. Many security conscious people still go for the obsolete technologies. Automation is what drives today’s technology. It is the PLC that makes it all happen. Imagine the main door of your home equipped with system security powered by PLC and access technology like RFID, etc. Access will be permitted only to registered individuals. Whether it is thumbprint scanning or using an access card or just a reader card, the System Security device should recognize the code. And then if it recognizes the code, the door opens automatically. Strangers and unregistered individuals are thus denied entries.
