Are you familiar with IP-based video systems, and other new security technologies?
There is a great deal of technology available to make our lives safer, and the interviewer would like to know how familiar you are with the choices available. If you are newer to your career, you may not be aware of more than just the basics. If this is the case, focus your answer on what you do know and be sure to express that you are willing to learn.
If you are seasoned in the security services industry, you could talk about how you have seen technology shift and improve over the years. Mention the type of security equipment and technology in which you bring experience.
"In my current role, we use tech such as CCTV, IP-based video systems, and even more recently, I saw the introduction of autonomous data machines and robots in security monitoring. It's thrilling to see the changes in tech and how far we have come in just a few short years. I am capable of learning new tech and am keen on the introduction of new technologies."
"I have exposure to some CCTV equipment and other monitoring options, more from a consumer's point of view. I am technically savvy and look forward to learning how to use these robust systems."
If you are familiar with IP-based video systems, focus on letting the interviewer know your skill level. If you have not used these systems, assure the interviewer that you learn quickly and are excited to be educated on new technology.
