There are several requirements for a security system for a commercial building, including:
1. Surveillance cameras – cameras should be installed in strategic locations throughout the building to monitor activity and record any suspicious behavior.
2. Access control – a security system should include access control measures such as card readers, keypads, or biometric scanners to prevent unauthorized access.
3. Alarms – alarm systems can be used to alert occupants and authorities in case of a break-in or other security breach.
4. Fire detection – in addition to security measures, commercial buildings must also have a fire detection system, including smoke detectors, heat sensors, and fire alarms.
5. Monitoring and response – a security system should have 24/7 monitoring and a response plan in case of an emergency.
6. Cybersecurity measures – with the increasing importance of data security, commercial buildings must have cybersecurity measures in place to protect against cyber threats.
7. Physical barriers – physical barriers such as gates, fences, and bollards can help prevent unauthorized access to the building or surrounding property.
