Frequently asked

Glossary

1

Access control

The systems and policies that decide who can enter a site, zone or room, using credentials such as cards, mobile wallets, PINs, biometrics or licence-plate recognition. At Intersec Shanghai, buyers compare readers, controllers, turnstiles, barriers and software for offices, data centres, factories, transport hubs and venues.

2

Video surveillance and CCTV

Cameras, recorders, storage and monitoring software used to observe and review activity across a site. The show floor covers fixed and PTZ cameras, low-light and thermal models, video management systems and privacy controls for retail, transport, industrial and campus environments.

3

Video analytics

Software that turns video streams into events, counts, object classifications or alerts rather than leaving operators to watch every screen. At Intersec Shanghai, use cases include perimeter breach, loitering, crowd density, queue management and forensic search; buyers should ask about false-alarm rates, edge processing and data-retention rules.

4

Intrusion detection

Sensors, panels and monitoring links that detect unauthorised entry into a building, room or perimeter zone. At the show, compare PIR, dual-tech, glass-break, shock, fence and beam sensors plus alarm receiving centre workflows for commercial and industrial sites.

5

Perimeter security

Layered physical measures that deter, delay or detect approach to a site, including fences, gates, bollards, barriers, turnstiles, sensors and patrol routes. At Intersec Shanghai, perimeter products sit alongside access control and video analytics for industrial parks, utilities and logistics sites.

6

Biometrics

Authentication using fingerprints, faces, irises, palms or voice to confirm identity. At the show, biometric readers appear in access control, time-and-attendance and identity verification; ask about spoof detection, template storage and local data-protection rules.

7

Fire detection and alarm

Devices and systems that detect smoke, heat, flame or gas and trigger alarms, evacuation and suppression. At Intersec Shanghai, compare addressable panels, detectors, aspirating systems, linear heat detection and integration with voice alarm and building management.

8

Fire suppression

Active systems that extinguish or control fire, including sprinklers, water mist, gas, foam and kitchen suppression. At the show, buyers review agent suitability, cylinder and valve hardware, detection links and service regimes for data rooms, kitchens, warehouses and industrial risks.

9

Passive fire protection

Materials and construction details that slow fire and smoke spread without active intervention: fire doors, dampers, seals, intumescent coatings, fire-rated boards and compartmentation. At Intersec Shanghai, this category matters for contractors, facility managers and inspectors working to local fire codes.

10

Emergency lighting and exit signage

Battery-backed lighting and marked escape routes that remain visible when mains power fails. At the show, compare self-contained and central-battery systems, exit signs, testing software and compliance documentation for commercial and public buildings.

11

Security screening and X-ray inspection

X-ray, metal detection, trace detection and body scanners used to inspect people, bags and cargo. At Intersec Shanghai, screening buyers look for throughput, image quality, radiation safety, operator training and integration with queue and incident workflows.

12

Command and control / PSIM

Software that brings alarms, video, access, fire and sensor data into one operating picture for control-room teams. At the show, buyers compare PSIM, incident management, GIS mapping and operator workflows; integration depth matters more than a long feature list.

13

Smart building and IoT security

Connected building systems such as access, video, fire, HVAC and lighting that share data over IP networks. At Intersec Shanghai, this theme links security hardware to building management, energy monitoring and remote service, with cyber hardening as a buying criterion.

14

Cybersecurity convergence

The overlap between physical security devices and IT networks, including device hardening, network segmentation, identity management and firmware patching. At the show, buyers ask camera and controller vendors how they secure default passwords, remote access and software updates.

15

Personal protective equipment

PPE includes helmets, gloves, eyewear, hearing protection, respiratory masks, high-visibility clothing and fall protection. At Intersec Shanghai, PPE appears alongside fire and rescue equipment for industrial, construction and emergency-response buyers.

16

Counter-UAS and drone detection

Technologies that detect, classify or mitigate unauthorised drones, including RF sensors, radar, cameras and jammers where legally permitted. At the show, buyers should check local radio regulations, false-alarm performance and integration with airspace security procedures.

17

Intercom and public address

Audio and video intercoms, emergency call points and voice alarm systems used for entry, assistance and evacuation. At Intersec Shanghai, these products connect access control and fire alarm workflows in lobbies, car parks, tunnels and large public venues.

18

Security workforce management

Software and services for guard scheduling, patrol verification, incident reporting and lone-worker safety. At the show, security operators compare guard-tour tags, mobile apps, response escalation and reporting for multi-site contracts.
