Description
This examination of security systems for the home and office has been revised to include recent developments in equipment and the relevant British Standards. The author describes the aid that electronics can give with security, the equipment and how to use it. The selection and application of various methods of intruder detection are discussed from the points of view of the equipment designer, the systems engineer and installation engineer. Additional material links implementation of these systems and their installation with the interests of individual users and the field engineer. Extensive use has been made of case histories and analogies to relate the book to true situations that may develop.
