Thomas L. Norman, CPP, PSP, CSC, is an internationally acclaimed security risk management and enterprise-class security system design consultant with experience in the United States, the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and Asia. Mr. Norman has experience in security designs for critical infrastructure including oil and gas terminals, lines, and distribution centers; mass transit and vehicle transportation systems including air security, rail, and marine facilities and systems; long-span suspension and truss bridges; and central banking, utility and financial facilities. Mr. Norman's extended experience includes a large number of chemical, petrochemical, banking, government, corporate facilities, hospitality, healthcare, venues, and museums. Mr. Norman's unique processes focus on identifying and securing the underlying causes of building system vulnerabilities, that is, business processes, technologies, and cultures that encourage the development of vulnerabilities to the detriment of the organization. As the author of the industry reference manual on integrated security system design, and with more than 35 years of experience in design, construction management and commissioning, Mr. Norman is considered one of the industry's leading design consultants, worldwide, having contributed many industry design firsts including Video Pursuit and REAPs design concepts, among others. Mr. Norman has developed formulas and detailed processes that are used by the entire security industry to calculate the effectiveness of security programs and security program elements and also overall security program cost-effectiveness. Mr. Norman has authored four books: for the American Institute of Architects, 'Security Planning and Design - A Guide for Architects and Building Owners'; 'Integrated Security Systems Design' (Elsevier); 'Risk Analysis and Security Countermeasures Selection' (CRC Press); and 'Electronic Access Control' (Elsevier). His works have been quoted and referenced by organizations such as the Cato Institute, NBC, and Security Management.
Integrated Security Systems Design, 2nd Edition, is recognized as the industry-leading book on the subject of security systems design. It explains how to design a fully integrated security system that ties together numerous subsystems into one complete, highly coordinated, and highly functional system. With a flexible and scalable enterprise-level system, security decision makers can make better informed decisions when incidents occur and improve their operational efficiencies in ways never before possible. The revised edition covers why designing an integrated security system is essential and how to lead the project to success. With new and expanded coverage of network architecture, physical security information management (PSIM) systems, camera technologies, and integration with the Business Information Management Network, Integrated Security Systems Design, 2nd Edition, shows how to improve a security program's overall effectiveness while avoiding pitfalls and potential lawsuits. - Guides the reader through the strategic, technical, and tactical aspects of the design process for a complete understanding of integrated digital security system design. - Covers the fundamentals as well as special design considerations such as radio frequency systems and interfacing with legacy systems or emerging technologies. - Demonstrates how to maximize safety while reducing liability and operating costs.

Introduction and Organization of the Book
Abstract
Chapter 1 introduces the concepts discussed in the book including the definition of IP-based integrated electronic security systems and what is meant by system integration, convergence-based systems, and enterprise integrated security systems.
Although you may not need to design enterprise-class integrated security systems, understanding their design concepts will make you a better designer of any convergence-based integrated security system, so it is worthwhile to be attentive to the enterprise-class concepts when they are discussed herein.
This book is designed for new and experienced system design consultants, designers, and project managers who build these complex systems and for the building owners, security directors, and facilities directors who operate them.
This chapter includes background into the motivation for writing this book, including the vacuum of information on securing security systems and the fact that few designers knew how to make these systems perform the extraordinary functions they are capable of in the hands of a talented designer.
This chapter includes a framework for understanding the design process including:
• What assets are we trying to protect?
• From whom are we protecting them?
• And against what kinds of attack or misuse?
• How can I use integration to improve the operations of my client and disrupt the operations of criminals and terrorists?
After finishing this book, you will have a new command of the strategic issues, technical issues and tactical issues facing designers and security managers.
This book is arranged to go from the strategic to the technical to the tactical. Strategic subjects are covered primarily in Chapters 2 and 3 and this chapter, technical subjects are covered primarily in Chapters 4–10, and tactical subjects are covered primarily in Chapters 11–19. The strategic section covers the “why” of design, including some important history that provides insight into how to stay in the path of industry development and not be sidetracked as it goes by, the technical section explains how it is done, and the tactical section provides the cultural knowledge that leads to project success.

Most integrated security systems installed today are designed to protect unknown vulnerabilities against unknown threats. They often use techniques and products that work well to the advantage of the vendor but not always so well to the advantage of the client, and they are often more expensive than is necessary. We can change that.
This book is about designing IP-based integrated security systems and enterprise-integrated security systems (which are also IP-based). These are security systems that have three major defining attributes:
• Integrated security systems comprise numerous subsystems together into one complete, highly coordinated, high-functioning system. Typical subsystems include alarm, access control, closed-circuit video, two-way voice communication, parking control, and other related systems. System integration is the basic concept for all that follows.
• System integration involves both the integration of components and the integration of functions. High-level functions can be obtained by integrating components into a comprehensive working system, instead of individual disconnected subsystems.
• Convergence-based integrated security systems are integrated security systems that utilize TCP/IP Ethernet infrastructure as the basic communications media. This is the result of a convergence of industries (the security technology industry and the information technology (IT) industry). Most new integrated security systems are convergence-based systems.
• We will also discuss enterprise-integrated security systems concepts in depth. Enterprise-integrated security systems are those security systems that have been integrated with other systems, including elevators, private automatic branch exchanges, human relations programs, and security video and intercommunications systems, at the corporate-wide (the enterprise) level to perform a wide variety of automated security-related tasks in a manner consistent with corporate or agency policies and procedures and that do so uniformly across the entire enterprise. For example, when an employee is terminated, the act of pressing OK on the human resources software screen can cause the employee to also be terminated from the access control system and IT system and even shut down access to his or her business telephone and voice mail. Such integration can prevent a hostile terminated employee from gaining outside access to valuable data or leaving a forwarding or even antagonistic message on his or her voice mail. Virtually all but the very earliest enterprise integrated security systems are convergence based, and almost all of the earliest systems utilize some convergence concepts.
Although you may not need to design enterprise-class integrated security systems, understanding their design concepts will make you a better designer of any convergence-based integrated security system, so it is worthwhile to be attentive to the enterprise-class concepts when they are discussed herein.
Who Should Read This Book
This book is designed for new and experienced system design consultants, designers, and project managers who build these complex systems and for the building owners, security directors, and facilities directors who operate them. Each will benefit from the expansive array of issues covered. Many of these subjects have only rarely or perhaps have never been discussed before in any book to my knowledge. These include such aspects as how to make your security system virtually disappear on the IT system infrastructure, as though it were not there at all to anyone but the system administrator (Chapter 17); a complete discussion on how to use security technology to delay, confound, and take down aggressors in very high-security environments (Chapter 4); and secrets on system implementation that help ensure a stable, reliable, and high-functioning system (Chapters 9 and 18). There is some discussion about pitfalls out of which the potential for lawsuits has arisen for well-meaning but unsuspecting project participants. My goal is to help you gain command of every aspect of the process necessary to ensure your success, the success of the project team, and especially the success of your client.
Designing enterprise integrated security systems seems daunting to most who have only designed systems for single buildings or for small campus environments. The challenge has become ever more important with the advent of terrorism and the move toward using electronic security systems to augment homeland security. The challenge of helping to protect our nation’s transportation, economic, and cultural infrastructure raises the importance of designing what used to be esoteric systems. Today, these systems are becoming more commonplace. However, many of them are being designed using old skillsets and outdated techniques, resulting in outmoded and therefore unsuitable results.
A Brief Background
When I wrote the first edition of this book, the security technology industry had only just recently crested a hill. Behind us, in the rearview mirror, is yesterday’s technology. Ahead of us toward the horizon is the technology of tomorrow. It is different from the past. It is IT based. Many in the security industry are afraid of it. They will resist the change. They will lose. Those who resist IP-based security systems will condemn themselves to security industry irrelevance.
In the 1990s, large corporate and government clients began to understand that they are better served by enterprise-class security systems. Enterprise systems differ from older approaches in that they permit the uniform application of security policies and procedures across the entire organization. They permit centralized monitoring of security, business processes, and adherence to policy. They reduce liability and operating costs. They permit a user from one facility to freely access any other if his or her access level permits.
At the time the first edition of this book was written, nearly every manufacturer had embraced the enterprise security concept, but many were still trying to make it work in the context of older system architectures. Increasingly, at the time of the second edition, these are gradually being replaced by systems with pure IT infrastructures. By reading this book, you will be ahead of the game and be able to make design decisions that will save you and your clients tens of thousands of dollars and many headaches.
These large-scale enterprise-level integration projects raise the bar, and we must all train well enough to jump over it. This book presents everything you will need to know to achieve success on these complex projects.
