Alongside CCTV the common perception of electronic security systems typically encompasses burglar alarms, fire alarms and access control devices. However, not only are these sections of the industry multi-facetted in themselves but they represent only a few of the disciplines under the ‘security systems’ umbrella.
The TCG’s areas of individual and combined speciality include:
Access Control: Physical and electronic entry and exit systems
Intruder Alarms: Internal, external and perimeter defences
Fire alarms: M, L and P systems. Radio fire alarms.
Biometrics: Access control in high and medium security situations
IP and Networking: The core of many security systems
Alarm Receiving Centres: Command and control hubs
Counter Eavesdropping: Sweeping for hidden devices
Security and Emergency Lighting: Vital components of any system
Structured cabling: The ‘electronic backbones’ of security
