Is there a definitive answer to these questions? For the most part the answer is yes but flexibility and understanding of what you want to protect and what a realistic budget is should be some of your prevailing directives.
- Is video surveillance our best option?
- What are you looking to watch, how are you going to watch these images, what are going to do when you see an actionable event?
- Should we deploy uniformed security personnel? What are their responsibilities?
- Should we rely solely on electronic detection?
The true answer comes out in your risk analysis and assessment. You’d be surprised what such an excercise will reveal, and how definitive the results are.
