Descripción: Integrated Security Systems Design is a one-stop resource for security directors, consultants, engineers and installation managers who are interested in learning how to save millions of dollars in improved operations efficiency. An integrated security system is a system that has been incorporated into other programs (such as Access Control, Private Branch Exchanges, Human Relations, Security Video, and Intercommunications) to perform tasks in a manner consistent with corporate or agency policies and procedures. This book explains how to accomplish such integration, thereby saving a company both time and money.
Integrated Security Systems Design is arranged to go from the strategic to the technical to the tactical. The strategic section covers the why of design, the technical section explains how it’s done, and the tactical section provides the cultural knowledge that leads to project success. Many of the subjects covered, such as how to make a security system invisible on an Information Technology System network, have rarely or never been discussed before in any book. Additionally, guidance is offered in avoiding pitfalls out of which lawsuits have arisen for well-meaning but unsuspecting project participants.
- Fully illustrated with numerous line diagrams, photographs, and the what-not-to-do’s of security design;
- Offers fast and easy reference for a complex subject;
- Guides the reader from the strategic through the technical to the tactical for best understanding of entire design process.
