Which capability is provided by technology in church security?

• A. It reduces the need for video recording
• B. It provides real-time monitoring and recording
• C. It limits access to information
• D. It eliminates the need for risk assessment

Answer: (B)

Technology in church security centers on providing real-time monitoring and recording. Real-time monitoring lets security teams see live video feeds, receive alerts, and coordinate a swift response as events unfold, which helps protect people and property. Recording creates a verifiable record of incidents for later review, investigations, and training, improving accountability and improvement of procedures. The other ideas don’t fit because technology actually enables more thorough video recording, not less; it doesn’t inherently limit information access—security systems can regulate access as needed but that’s not their primary security capability; and risk assessment remains essential even with technology, as tools support but don’t replace evaluating vulnerabilities and planning safeguards.
