By Gerard Honey, Experienced systems installer, Durham, U.K.
Description Intruder Alarms provides a definitive and fully up-to-date guide to the specification, systems design, integration, installation and maintenance
of intruder alarm systems. It has been written to be the essential handbook for installation engineers and security professionals working
in this rapidly expanding and developing area.
The third edition includes new material on systems integration, digital systems, wireless
and remote signalling technologies, and electrical safety.
The revision has brought coverage fully in line with the new European standards
(EN50131 / BS EN 50131-1), with their implications summarised in a new appendix. The coverage has also been carefully matched to the
requirements of the new Knowledge of Security and Emergency Alarm Systems from City & Guilds (1852).
Audience
Security alarm installers and systems designers (commercial and domestic), vocational students (UK: City & Guilds 1852), managers involved
in the specification and implementation of physical security solutions.
