should be housed in a location with a quality of working environment at least as good as other employees are given. Two common types of monitoring locations are ���upfront,��� such as the reception desk in the main lobby; or a ���back office��� dedicated SOC. In some cases, both should be considered: the reception area may be too busy and distracting for effective security monitoring during regular business hours, but a small, off-hours (evenings, weekends and holidays), security presence may best be located in an entry lobby for high visibility and deterrence. The duplication of monitoring equipment at both locations may not add significantly to the cost of a new installation; in fact, the additional cost can be saved very quickly in the reduction of security staffing expenses. The first target is to obtain sufficient space, especially where real estate is at a premium. For the construction of a new facility, or a major refurbishment, it is necessary to clearly document space needs early in the design process and to ���sell��� those requirements to the space planners ��� usually the architect. What Will Happen in the SOC? The analysis of space requirements can begin by listing what will be happening in the SOC ��� what functions need to be performed there and how much space needs to be allocated to each function. Here are a few of the functions that may be included on your list: Continuing our image of excellence The Alliance-pro is a full featured, H.264 Main Profile vandal dome camera with support for up to 5 MP resolutions.
