Integrated Security Systems Design

Integrated Security Systems Design, 2nd Edition, is recognized as the industry-leading book on the subject of security systems design. It explains how to design a fully integrated security system that ties together numerous subsystems into one complete, highly coordinated, and highly functional system. With a flexible and scalable enterprise-level system, security decision makers can make better informed decisions when incidents occur and improve their operational efficiencies in ways never before possible. The revised edition covers why designing an integrated security system is essential and how to lead the project to success. With new and expanded coverage of network architecture, physical security information management (PSIM) systems, camera technologies, and integration with the Business Information Management Network, Integrated Security Systems Design, 2nd Edition, is an essential guide for improving a security program's overall effectiveness while avoiding pitfalls and potential lawsuits. * Guides the reader through the strategic, technical, and tactical aspects of the design process for a complete understanding of integrated digital security system design.* Incorporates the latest technological advances, such as unmanned aerial vehicles, smartphones, radar, and satellite maps.* Demonstrates how to maximize safety while reducing liability and operating costs.
