IoT smart building safety systems

Many people may not realize that a lot of the security, cameras, and accessibility systems deployed in buildings today already use IoT technology. Continued development of newer solutions helps smart buildings not only expand their security and accessibility capabilities within their premises but also integrate directly with smart, city-wide security programs.
