The above statement is based on the fact that a large number of the stalls within the showrooms offered products or services enabled to operate with this mode of transmission; Now, it is not that this means that traditional security systems are going to disappear, but what it does imply is that this trend that has been talked about so much is already here, available to everyone and even more, which is the immediate future of this industry.
However, around this phenomenon a big question arises: is Latin America really prepared for an invasion of IP-based security products? This question also leads to other questions such as whether our security professionals are sufficiently trained to face this new scenario? Do we have the required bandwidths to be able to operate without major trauma?
This is not the time to worry or make the usual reproaches; rather, it is an opportunity for us to start thinking about what we are going to do so as not to be inferior to the challenges that will arise in the coming months. It is time to start organizing working groups with governments and local ISPs (Internet access providers) to look at how infrastructures can be adjusted to this new environment.
It is also essential that working groups be created among the industries in the security segment to evaluate how they will train their personnel in order to face this reality.
You see, the scenario is not so scary. It is difficult, but not impossible. The only concern that should be taken into account is that we cannot let much time pass in this process of adaptation. Latinos are very capable of doing great things, but sometimes we are left over-deliberating.
It is important to remember that the future is now, that there is no more time to think. So let's get to work.
