Designing Integrated Protection
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
Fences, locks, lights, alarms, cameras, access cards and guards are often bought one at a time, by different people, for different reasons. The result is a site full of equipment that does not work together: a camera that shows an empty corridor, an alarm that nobody answers, a strong door next to a weak window.
Integrated protection means designing all these parts as one system, so that an intruder is detected early, held up long enough, and met by a response in time. This module gives managers the principles to design or review such a system, to choose technology sensibly, and to buy and run it over its whole life.
Focus: start from the risk, design for detection, delay and response in time, balance the layers, choose technology for a purpose, and plan for the whole life of each system.
Learning objectives
- Explain why protection must start from a risk assessment, not from a product.
- Apply the timing rule of detect, delay and respond.
- Design balanced layers, so there is no easy path around strong measures.
- Plan protection against vehicles and through glazing.
- Bring security into the design of new buildings and refits.
- Choose access control, key, alarm, video and lighting options for a purpose, with privacy in mind.
- Compare in-house and remote monitoring.
- Specify, buy, commission and maintain systems over their whole life.
