Access into buildings, controlled access within buildings, perimeter access control and perimeter protection are all areas that have been expanding rapidly within the security industry. All of these areas are now dominated by electronic solutions.

Gerard Honey's book is the first to focus on the design and installation of electronic access control systems. By providing the more practical information needed by system designers and installers, as well as essential guidelines for managers with responsibility for security, Electronic Access Control is vital reading for all those involved in the security business.

    This review is from: Electronic Access Control (Paperback)
    This book is a complete waste of time if you are actually trying to design and implement a system for the first time. Almost every section covered ends with, installation details regarding equipment and wiring will depend on the manufacturer. Which is of course true, but that should not have prevented the use of concrete examples of test systems that specify how one could create one of these systems would have been much more useful for someone attempting to implement an access control system for the first time. If all you are looking for is a general overview of different doors, conduits, wire ratings, and types of access control with no actual examples of how to implement said products into a working system, then this is the book for you. If you are like me and trying to create an actual system, this was a waste of time.
