DESCRIPTION:
Good text for someone entering the field. This is a nice methodical approach to introducing someone to the basics of Electronic Access Control. I am an industry veteran with over 31 years experience in all aspects of the field. Even though the book was published in 2011 it is already somewhat dated in certain areas.

The only area of the book that I take strong exception to is the chapter on Life Safety and Exit Devices, specifically what Mr. Norman refers to as his opinion of the best way to accomplish fire alarm interface.

Norman – a master at electronic security and risk management consulting and author of the industry reference manual for the design of Integrated Security Systems – describes the full range of EAC devices (credentials, readers, locks, sensors, wiring, and computers), showing how they work, and how they ar
"This book is likely one of the most current and comprehensive works available in this subject areaThis book is recommended for the general reader of security literature and those with specific access control responsibilities needing a ready reference source."--Security Management, December 2012, page 82 "In this book, Thomas L. The book presents an arcane and complex subject with a conversational and layered learning approach which results in a thorough understanding of each point, thus offering quick career advancement potential to students and prospective security professionals."--ASIS International.
