    You will be surprised how many security camera and door access systems require an ancient OS to work.

    Many firms refuse to spend money on replacing such systems.

      Yeah but as an electronic security technician myself, I know of no system that displays big red exclamation marks on a screen for anything. This is like what a “hollywood” security console would look like, not a real one.

      The monitors on top have something real though. The Exacqvision NVR GUI. I recognize it from ten miles away. But all the bottom row monitors are strange…like, what’s up with the burning house?

        They probably put those images there because either the screen had something sensitive on it, or they were just turned off, and that looks bad in a stock photo.
