Chapter 9, Problem 4E

Explanation of Solution

Designing an electronic monitoring plan in order to secure resources and information:

Electronic monitoring plan design

Electronic monitoring:

Electronic monitoring system is important in an organization or any other places. CCTV is one of the monitoring systems, which are placed in a corner of a room. It should be constantly monitored and checked.

Burglar alarm:

It is the most commonly used alarm system. It is used to find out interferences into unauthorized places and it alerts the remote security agency. They should be checked periodically.

Sensors of burglar alarm:

Burglar alarm contains various sensors like,

Motion detectors:

• Burglar alarm with motion detector can be used in corridors, and in the server room to detect motion of trespassers or other unauthorized people.
• They are either active or inactive. They emit energy beams like infrared or sound waves or other radiation. If the energy is disturbed, the alarm gets activated.

Thermal detectors:

• Burglar alarm with thermal detector can be used in server room or in the work place.
• The thermal detectors are used to detect heat. They contain heat sensors that act in two ways.
  • In the first way, the sensor works when the temperature in some areas reaches a predetermined level that is, 135 to 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In the other way, the sensor finds the rate of rise in temperature. Here, the sensors find the rapid increase in temperature within less amount of time.

Glass breakage detectors:

• Burglar alarm with glass breakage sensor can be used near doors or windows.
• It detects of the pane of glass is broken. They contains microphone through which they detect the breakage of glass...
