Synopsis

The large and growing range of intruder alarms are examined in this book, and ways to choose correctly and use effectively the most appropriate are described. Other products including fire alarms, call systems, access control, vehicle protection, emergency and security lighting, closed circuit TV and intercoms are covered. Step by step, the book shows how to select the most appropriate system, and then gives written hints on how to install it successfully. System layouts and wiring diagrams are provided where appropriate, and wireless systems are covered in detail. This book is aimed at readers needing to protect industrial installation, a shop or a shopping centre, a house, a car or a commercial vehicle. It is also aimed at those looking after young, infirm or elderly people.

Review

Reviews of the first edition:

'The author gives a good and clearly-written overall assessment of his subject and does not shy away from injecting his own opinions - something less experienced installers, particularly, should find helpful.' Security Installer

'A thoughtful overview of electronic monitoring, detection and asset protection systems. Security professionals with little systems experience will find this work to be a clear and useful introduction. With its broad sweep, the book will also benefit experienced professionals seeking a refresher.' Security Management
