by Shane Henson — January 2, 2012—Facilities managers interested in purchasing electronic security systems can ensure they choose wisely through an information paper offered through BRE Global, Selecting Electronic Security Systems: An Introduction.
According to BRE Global, an independent third-party approvals body offering certification of fire, security and sustainability products, the paper is intended to introduce non-specialists responsible for electronic security systems, including installers, to issues they may encounter and to give basic information on the subject. It also gives an overview of organizations that provide oversight of installers and equipment.
Areas covered are:
- intruder alarms
- automatic access control systems
- closed circuit television
- integrated systems, remote monitoring
- maintenance and false alarms
- product and service verification
