High-Security Considerations

Preventive measures: a short checklist

A Multi-Media unit can be set so that performance or security are compromised. To reduce the probability of this, Honeywell recommends that your Multi SA and your security officer check for situations such as the ones in table 10–4.

Physical compromise

As obvious as such acts may seem, they include:

Vandalism to Multi-Media units or other hardware. See also Camera Sabotage: Detection, p. 120.

Power outages beyond the range of a UPS.

Placing cameras where direct sunlight, dew, frost or reflections can hamper visibility.

Placing cameras at an outside window, in a room that remains lit during evenings. Reflection from the window can hamper visibility outside.

Placing objects to obstruct a camera’s view. See also Camera Sabotage: Detection, p. 120.
