High security experts were hired to oversee unobtrusive protection for the three Olympic villages located on three University of California campuses. Exterior protection, specifically perimeter protection, was relied on heavily to guard the campus facilities. Restraints on manpower, time, and sensor selection, as well as the existence of multiple facilities, complicated the task of system architecture, design, and installation. Each Olympic village site was set up with an independent command center and equipment to protect the surrounding area. There was a double fence line along each center's perimeter, with two types of security -- taut wire and electronic fence sensor systems. Sixty-four fixed, low-light-level cameras were used to augment perimeter protection. Cameras were installed on a switcher and monitored at a command center console. Each command post was equipped with eight monitors for maximum viewing and with a graphic map. When an alarm went off, it was indicated on the computer. A hard copy report was printed out, and the location was displayed on the graphic maps. In the event of an alarm, the command control center either dispatched armed police officers or requested more information from the onsite security officers. The system was mostly trouble free. Large drainage systems and underground piping were fitted and protected with infrared sensors to guard against possible terrorist attacks or bombings underground. Photographs are included.
