Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
IMPAIRMENT AND RELATED CHARGES	During the fourth quarter of 2020, we launched a new generation of SentriX tools and capability. We made the strategic decision to control key pieces of the technology and enhance the ability to simplify the security deployment process, own the end-to-end intellectual property and scale our business. We accelerated the transition to second generation of SentriX by immediately upgrading all customers’ deployed first generation SentriX systems to the new hardware and software. This obsoleted components of the first generation hardware, software and inventory. We also ended support for some legacy automated handlers, impairing the remaining service inventory. As a result, certain capital equipment assets, advance payments and inventory were analyzed and determined to be impaired, totaling $943,000. This included impairment of $652,000, consisting of $252,000 of equipment and software, $400,000 of prepaid royalties, as well as impairment related charges of $291,000, due to inventory obsolescence (cost of goods sold) for end of certain product support.
