Access Control Systems are difficult to learn and even harder to master due to the different ways in which manufacturers approach the subject and the myriad complications associated with doors, door frames, hardware, and electrified locks. Electronic Access Control consolidates this information, covering a comprehensive yet easy-to-read list of subjects that every Access Control System Designer, Installer, Maintenance Tech or Project Manager needs to know in order to develop quality and profitable Alarm/Access Control System installations. Within these pages, Thomas L. Norman, a master at electronic security and risk management consulting and author of the industry reference manual for the design of Integrated Security Systems, describes the full range of EAC devices - credentials, readers, locks, sensors, wiring, and computers, showing how they work, and how they are installed. The book presents an arcane and complex subject with a conversational and layered learning approach that results in a thorough understanding of each point, thus offering quick career advancement potential to students and prospective security professionals.

Review

"This book is likely one of the most current and comprehensive works available in this subject area...This book is recommended for the general reader of security literature and those with specific access control responsibilities needing a ready reference source." --Security Management, December 2012, page 82 "In this book, Thomas L. Norman, a master at electronic security and risk management consulting and author of the industry reference manual for the design of integrated security systems, describes the full range of EAC devices--credentials, readers, locks, sensors, wiring, and computers, showing how they work, and how they are installed. The book presents an arcane and complex subject with a conversational and layered learning approach which results in a thorough understanding of each point, thus offering quick career advancement potential to students and prospective security professionals." --ASIS International.com

Excellent read for all categories of personnel with a reponsiblity for security systems; from the manager to the technician. The background on risk assessment and protection of critical assets is a bonus

tracy

basically for beginners

Reviewed in the United States on 6 May 2016

For some reason I thought it was going to delve a little deeper than it did. It repeated itself quite often so I guess if you are a noob in the access control biz it may help to get a gyst of what it's about, but to the commercial professional it is a kid's book.

Good text for someone entering the field.

Reviewed in the United States on 24 August 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a nice methodical approach to introducing someone to the basics of Electronic Access Control. I am an industry veteran with over 31 years experience in all aspects of the field. Even though the book was published in 2011 it is already somewhat dated in certain areas. That is not an indictment of the book or the author, it is the rapid moving nature of the business. The only area of the book that I take strong exception to is the chapter on Life Safety and Exit Devices, specifically what Mr. Norman refers to as his opinion of the best way to accomplish fire alarm interface. In my 31 years of design, installation and implementation of fire alarm and access control systems I have never seen fire alarm interface (commonly referred to as "Fire Alarm Override") accomplished in the way that is described in the book, and I would strongly recommend against doing it in that manner. There are far more sophisticated and effective ways to accomplish this in today's world. Other than that I like it, and have recommended it for the text in a class that I am teaching.
