Chapter 17 Flashcards
Asset
An employee, contractor, or any
physical, technological, or
intellectual possession.

DACS
Digital Alarm Communicator System
A system in which signals are
transmitted from a digital alarm
communicator transmitter (DACT)
located at the protected premises
through the public switched telephone
network (PSTN) to a digital alarm
communicator receiver (DACR) so that
it may seize the line to which it is
connected. The seizure disconnects
any private telephone equipment
beyond the DACT’s point of
connection.

DARR
Digital Alarm Radio Receiver
A system component composed
of two subcomponents—one
that receives and decodes radio
signals and another that
annunciates the decoded data.
TDMM.* Page G-57
DART
Digital Alarm Radio Transmitter
A system component that is
connected to or an integral part
of a digital alarm communicator
transmitter (DACT) that is used
to provide an alternate radio
transmission channel.

EAC
Electronic Access Control
A system composed of computer
software and hardware for
managing access to identified
spaces through the use of
established security levels, issued
credentials, and peripheral
electronic hardware, including door
contacts, request to exit (REX)
devices, card readers, and
electronic locking hardware.

ESS
Electronic Safety and Security
Systems that utilize analog and
digital transmission of data in
addition to mechanical or electrical
methods to enhance the safety and
security of a facility.

FACP
Fire Alarm Control Panel
A system component that
receives and monitors inputs
from fire alarm devices and
controls outputs to connected
appliances, transmitters, relays
and devices, and other
control units.

FDAS
Fire Detection and
Alarm System
System involved in the early
detection and notification of life
safety threats.
TDMM.* Page 17-31
Fixed Camera
A camera dedicated to a single
view that does not change
unless the camera is
physically moved.
TDMM.* Page 17-22
Layering
The use of many layers of
barriers, other countermeasures,
or a mixture of both, used to
provide the maximum level of
deterrence and delay.
TDMM.* Page G-707
NAC
Notification Appliance Circuit
A fire alarm circuit used to
connect and operate notification
appliances to the fire
alarm system.
TDMM.* Page G-731
Pan and Tilt
Refers to a camera that allows
for 180-degree or 360-degree
view, which is controlled
electronically from a remote
viewing station.
TDMM.* Page 17-22
Risk
A vulnerability to or potential for
loss from a threat or event.
TDMM.* G-767
Threat
- An indication of the event or
the intent to do harm or
damage. - An agent by which damage,
injury, loss, or death can occur.
TDMM.* Page G-195
Video Surveillance
The extension of human vision
to areas requiring surveillance.

What is a fundamental
concept of security design?
The use of layering
TDMM.* Page 17-2
Describe the theory of
concentric circles.
Using multiple points of
detection provides the
greatest opportunity for
evaluation and response
TDMM.* Page 17-2
What principle serves as
the basis of event-based
monitoring?
The principle that electronic
systems can efficiently and
effectively drive operational
response
TDMM.* Page 17-3
What is required to provide
a person with total safety
and security?
Total isolation from their
environment and other people
while maintaining basic
life support
