Abstract
It is a sad fact that on our present civilization, one of the main booming activities is “crime”. What is security ? According to the Preventive Programmes Division of the Chicago Police Department, security is the anticipation, recognition and appraisal of a crime risk and the initiation of some actions to remove or reduce it. In this chapter, we shall look at few common security systems in buildings, such as intrusion and space sensors, closed circuit television systems and basic alarm systems etc.
