Re: The security system
I can recall working at a data and call center for a major ISP and long distance telco. No UPS except maybe on the servers, but maglocks throughout the building and exterior doors. If there was a camera system, it wasn't on UPS either. Summers meant frequent thunderstorms and transformer outages, amplified by drivers with water soluble intelligence that would often collide with utility poles. We came to work one morning to find the server room stripped of much of its gear. Some enterprising folks took advantage of the power outage the night before to load up a truck while all the doors were unlocked.
