This is definitely an excellent reference book on the security systems subject. I especially liked to see sections on TCP/IP and wireless communications, which are typically not areas of expertise of a security systems specialist (even some younger ones).
Maximum value for money, I must say.

The one objection I have is the misaligned print in the first 100 pages or so. But this definitely has nothing to do with the contents. The book is entirely readable, that's important.

A few references you like to keep handy for quick reference as authoritative sources. Sources that offer a progressive history across the full spectrum of security systems development while pointing the way toward the future development of the security systems marketplace. This book is one of those references. Tom Norman's easy to read style and cohesive organizational structure mean this text brings clarity to the issues at hand. A security professional will be better able to articulate a cogent understanding of the complicated world of security systems than he or she was prior to the benefit of Ton's guidance. Keep a copy in your office. It is a great argument ender.

This is simply the best book on security system design available. It has it all, from the history and evolution of electronic security to designing the most advanced enterprise integrated security systems in the world. All elements of security system design are here, including definitions, technology, roles and responsibilities of design team members, and most importantly, how they all work together. This book will become the standard on security systems design. I highly recommend it for security professionals and students.

This book combines an approachable style with actionable information. The author is an excellent technical writer with a readable style, a rare combination for any technical book. I found two actionable items in this book upon my first reading and I feel will become a primary reference work for me.

In short this book exceeded my expectations.
