[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3765915, member: 44288"] 1969 The 60's for me were my growing up years. The years that really made an impact are 68 and 69 as far as girls, cars, movies, music, girls, school, girls, historical events, did I mention girls? Historical events that changed my life? Not really. It is just a long big blur. 9-11 changed the attitude of the major companies my company did business with. You could definitely tell the difference before and after. Before 9-11, security at any company, any government agency, any hospital, was always the redheaded stepchild getting table scraps from other divisions in their corporate structure. After 9-11, they were throwing money at security. The security companies were far from ready for this and were slapping in systems that were obsolete when we installed them and readily showed their weaknesses. Within a few years the security companies rallied and state-of-the-art technologies finally surfaced and became affordable. I remember working on towers and high up on sides of buildings on a pan, tilt, zoom, control box replacing a 110 volt relay. Within a few years, the PTZ mechanism was in the camera itself. So in a way, 9-11 was the rebirth of the security, fire, life safety industry. [/QUOTE]
