CompTIA Security+ Exam Prep

Answer: B - Responsive area illumination takes place when an IDS detects suspicious activities and turns on the lights within a specified area. When this type of technology is plugged into automated IDS products, there is a high likelihood of false alarms. Instead of continuously having to dispatch a security guard to check on those issues, a CCTV camera can be installed to watch area for intruders. The lighting controls should be protected to prevent a would-be intruder from turning out lights.
