The convergence of security systems such as access control and surveillance onto the network places much of the responsibility for future security designs into the hands of the BICSI membership. Now you can stay current on global best practices for the design and integration of different electronic safety and security (ESS) systems.

With significant changes from the first edition, the new manual provides key elements essential to anyone in ITS design, including:

• Principles of security
• ESS design process
• Access control
• Surveillance systems
• Intrusion detection systems
• Fire detection and alarm systems
• Notification, communication and display devices
• Special systems
• Network security
• Systems integration
• Project management
• Systems operation and commissioning
• Codes, standards and regulations
• Legal aspects of ESS design

The ESSDRM, 2nd edition, will soon become the foundation document for those who seek the knowledge to become a specialist in ESS design.
