Property
Electronic Security

The installation and usage of electronic security systems will include intruder detection systems, access control systems, security CCTV, panic alarm systems where appropriate, emergency voice evacuation (EVES) where appropriate, dedicated security mobile radio networks, etc.  
 
Specialist advice should always be taken from the Head of Corporate Security where installation, upgrading or usage of such systems is considered.
 
 
Security Control Rooms
A specification for the design and operation of security control rooms is available, which also covers the requirements of Assignment Instructions and Control Room Procedures.
 
 
Security CCTV
The requirement for a security CCTV system at locations occupied by the BBC and owned and managed by them, its property partners, or landlords will follow a security risk assessment.  This will indicate the type of system, and areas to be covered, should the risk assessment indicate that the cost of installation and operation of CCTV is justified.
 
Security CCTV systems must be designed and operated in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Act (DPA), including the correct signage, access, and image handling methods.
 
The Information Commissioner has now issued a code of practice, which gives specific guidance on the application of the Act for security CCTV systems and additional information is available from Head of Corporate Security.
