HUBLOTWhat is a security system?
To my understanding, it's a system, usually a sort of setup or installment, that aims to achieve and/or maintain security. Implementations of security system differ, as there are different types of environment, context. In your passage, they're probably talking about cameras.

It could be one. I don't understand, what is it that's vague to you?
