Security 101 Field Playbook
Written for anyone new to physical security — apprentices, career changers, office staff who need to speak the language. Not a course to sit through: four short modules covering how the industry works, how integrators make money, what happens at a door, and which credentials actually raise your rate.
How the industry actually works
Where physical security came from, where it went, and who everybody is.
How integrators make money
Bid work, service work, and recurring revenue — and where you fit in the P&L.
Door, video and network fundamentals
The vocabulary and the physics you need on day one.
Credentials that raise your rate
What to get first, in what order, and the rookie mistakes to skip.
General industry guidance written for orientation, not a substitute for manufacturer training, your state licensing board, or the authority having jurisdiction. Always confirm code and wiring details against the current spec sheet.
