can enhance physical security with more advanced and complex solutions. This way, IP security-based systems with smart sensors, Wi-Fi cameras, smart security lighting, drones and electronic locks can provide surveillance data that are evaluated by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) mechanisms to identify threats and respond with minimum delay and maximum accuracy. However, intelligent buildings,
