ABSTRACT
This chapter explains the components of the security surveillance center control room. The proper design of the security surveillance center console and room is one of the most critical components of the security surveillance center. The location and console design are important factors to the overall success of the operation of the security surveillance center. The location of the security surveillance center is best designed to have easy access and egress for emergency personnel, first responders, law enforcement officials, and the fire department. Any doors leading into the area should be monitored by a closed-circuit television (CCTV) system, and access should be controlled remotely by security surveillance center personnel. At a minimum, the security surveillance center should consist of a CCTV system that has the ability to expand into other areas of the operation, such as key control, badge control, monitoring alarms, and so on.
