A security administrator at a small warehouse needs a control that allows staff to monitor and record any unauthorized after-hours entry so they can alert law enforcement rather than physically confronting intruders. Which physical control would BEST meet this requirement?
Surveillance cameras provide continuous visual coverage, enabling staff to detect and verify unauthorized activity from a safe location while also recording evidence. They serve as both a deterrent and a detective control. Bollards are intended to stop or slow vehicles but do not provide visual monitoring. Keypad door locks regulate entry but offer no real-time visibility into an attempted breach. A mantrap limits access to one person at a time but typically lacks external video coverage of wider areas, so it does not satisfy the requirement for remote visibility.
