Public utility companies support a
number of building types like sub-stations, testing labs, pumping stations,
administration offices, payment centers, and remote warehouse and distribution
facilities. They also control processes that are sometimes hazardous, and
usually costly if shut down in an unplanned way.
Moreover, there is the potential
for cost savings from reduction in false alarms and responses to vandal calls. There
are a number of areas within this type of facility to consider.
Considering the vast region that a
public utility can cover, you may consider using an access control product that
supports network or dialup retrieval of events captured resulting from normal
or abnormal activity.
Typical recommendations are shown
in the table below.
