SECTION 4: LIGHTING AND DETERRENCE PROTOCOLS

ILLUMINATE ALL EXTERIOR SURFACES. MOTION-ACTIVATED LIGHTING SYSTEMS ARE PREFERRED FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY. STATIC LIGHTING MUST COVER DARK CORNERS AND ALLEYWAYS. HIGH-INTENSITY LED FIXTURES REDUCE SHADOWS WHERE INTRUDERS MAY CONCEAL THEMSELVES.

INTERNAL LIGHTING SHOULD OPERATE ON PROGRAMMABLE TIMERS. SIMULATE OCCUPANCY DURING HOLIDAY CLOSURE HOURS. INTEGRATE LIGHTING CONTROLS WITH THE BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEM (BAS).

  1. VERIFY VOIP PHONE LINE CONNECTIVITY.
  2. TEST CELLULAR SIGNAL STRENGTH FOR SIGNAL BOOSTERS.
  3. AUDIT CLOUD PERMISSIONS FOR MANAGEMENT USERS.
  4. CONFIRM PUSH NOTIFICATIONS ARE ENABLED ON AUTHORIZED DEVICES.

INCIDENT RESPONSE MATRIX:

  • TRIGGER: MOTION DETECTED IN RESTRICTED ZONE.
  • ACTION: SYSTEM SENDS REAL-TIME ALERT TO NVR AND MOBILE INTERFACE.
  • RESPONSE: OPERATOR VERIFIES VIDEO FEED. CONTACTS LAW ENFORCEMENT IF BREACH CONFIRMED.
