Norbain SD will be holding a seminar at IFSEC 2006 that will act as a performance guide to end users involved in specifying system based security measures.

Norbain SD, one of Europe's most successful distributors of CCTV, Access Control and Intruder Detection solutions, will be holding a seminar at IFSEC 2006 that will act as a performance guide to end users involved in specifying system based security measures.

Ian Fowler, Technical Training Manager at Norbain SD and a highly regarded industry commentator, will be handling the presentation.

"This Seminar has been designed to avoid the usual technological rhetoric approach and provide end users with a list of performance based requirements that will leave the responsibility of providing the correct solution with the system provider," explains Mr Fowler.

The details of the seminar are as follows: Date: Monday, 8th May 2006 Time: 12.45-13.15 Location: The Security Management Seminar Theatre, Hall 7 Topic: Key performance indicators for security system design Speaker: Ian Fowler, Technical Training Manager The seminar will cover the following points:.

Access Control and CCTV Very few standards are currently available so the purchaser has the responsibility of understanding their own requirements and the key performance indicators of the technology they're about to purchase.

With these issues in mind, the remainder of the seminar will outline the main performance criteria for CCTV and Access Control.

"All too often we are inundated with technical specifications, background information and conflicting argument over what technology to adopt," says Mr Fowler.

"We need be more objective and performance oriented".

"What we need to understand is what happens at ground level where we finally manage the resulting systems".
