             B.               Security Cameras.

The alarm system must be monitored by a private security company that is required to respond to every alarm within 20 minutes. The system must also include a hold-up alarm that is accessible near the transport area, manager’s office, lobby, and storage areas.

             E.               Back-up Security System. The security system must be equipped with at least 24 hours of continued operation in case of power failure and equipped with a cellular back-up in case of phone disruption. (Ord. 2022-0006 § 17; Ord. 2020-0004 § 14; Ord. 2017-0060 § 3)
