As we step into 2026, it’s time for businesses in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware to reassess their security systems. Outdated technologies are more than just an inconvenience—they’re a risk to your company’s assets, data, and reputation. Here’s what you should leave in the past:
1. 125kHz Proximity Cards
Low-frequency credentials like 125kHz proximity cards are easily cloned and widely known for their security flaws. Upgrading to high-frequency, encrypted cards is essential for modern access control.
2. Chinese Video Surveillance Cameras & NVRs
Brands like HikVision, Dahua, and their OEM variants are not NDAA-compliant and present significant cybersecurity risks. Opt for vetted, NDAA-compliant equipment to protect your business and meet regulatory standards.
3. DIY Video Surveillance Systems
Home-targeted solutions, such as Reolink and other box store camera kits, lack the reliability, support, and security features required for commercial environments. Professional-grade systems ensure better performance and ongoing support.
4. Port Forwarding & DDNS
Legacy remote access methods like port forwarding and DDNS expose your network to unnecessary vulnerabilities. Modern cloud-based solutions provide safer, more reliable access and simplify remote management.
5. On-Premises Card Access
Cloud-based access control systems offer enhanced security, easier management, and remote capabilities—without the infrastructure headaches of on-premises setups.
6. POTS Lines for Intrusion & Fire Alarms
Plain Old Telephone Service is outdated, unreliable, and being phased out. Upgrading to cellular or IP-based communication is now the industry standard for alarm monitoring.
