& intruder Alarms Vivian Capel Essential reading for managers, shop owners and security professionals

Today an alarm system and total security coverage is essential for every factory, business

and shop. This book is a comprehensive guide to evaluating security needs, planning and purchasing a system, and managing a security system. It is essential reading for business managers, premises managers, shop owners, and shopping centre managers. Equally it is an important update of a key book for security professionals, including those involved in specifying and installing security systems. As well as providing a complete guide to alarm systems, including their installation,

Vivian Capel explores all areas of security that should concern businesses, —

encompassing: fire; liability claims; shoplifting; employee fraud; violence to staff and

computer crime.

The second edition is a long-awaited revision that brings this popular guide up-to-date with the latest technology and recent developments in security strategy, such as the — applications of CCTV. In addition, a case study has been added which provides the reader with an opportunity to test their own knowledge and judgement — solutions are provided at the end of the chapter!
