Explanation

Since the facility is unstaffed, CCTV (Closed-Circuit Television) is the most effective complementary measure. Motion detectors detect intrusions and secondary authentication controls entry, but CCTV provides visual evidence and enables remote monitoring and forensic investigation after incidents - critical when no personnel are on-site. An IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) is a network security tool, not a physical one. Faraday cages block electromagnetic signals (useful for TEMPEST protection but not general physical security). Turnstiles require physical presence to be effective and are better suited to staffed, high-traffic areas.
