Question 2

Under-vehicle inspection systems (UVIS) deployed at courthouse perimeter checkpoints are designed to detect:

Contraband, weapons, or improvised explosive devices attached beneath a vehicle

Answer

UVIS use cameras and mirrors (or automated scanning systems) to inspect the undercarriage of vehicles for attached packages, IEDs, or contraband before entry.

Question 3

A courthouse deploys a visitor management system (VMS) that requires government-issued ID scanning. A core security function of the VMS is to:

Accepted Answer

Cross-reference visitor identities against sex offender, warrant, and restraining order databases

Answer

Question 4

A courthouse officer notices that a security camera covering the main entrance shows significant image distortion during afternoon hours. The most likely cause is:

Accepted Answer

Direct sunlight causing lens glare or sensor saturation (backlighting)

Answer

Cameras aimed toward bright light sources such as glass entrance doors during afternoon sun commonly suffer from backlighting, causing the interior subject to appear dark or the image to wash out.

Question 5

Which cybersecurity control is specifically recommended to protect IP-based courthouse security cameras from unauthorized access?

Accepted Answer

Changing default manufacturer credentials and applying firmware updates

Answer

Default usernames and passwords on IP cameras are publicly documented and exploited routinely; changing credentials and patching firmware are the most basic and effective protective steps.
