Abstract

The present invention relates systems and methods of electromagnetic protection for integrated video and electromagnetic detector security system equipment. A security system configured to be protected from electromagnetic events or attacks includes a quantity of video cameras and a quantity of electromagnetic event detectors disposed at a facility. The system also includes an electromagnetically-shielded cabinet containing computing equipment and a storage media. The electromagnetically-shielded cabinet is configured to receive data from each of the quantity of video cameras and electromagnetic detectors and store the data on the storage media, whereby, in the event of an electromagnetic event, information at the time of the event can be preserved on the storage media. Additionally, the electromagnetic detectors can trigger the video cameras to scan the surrounding area once an electromagnetic event has been detected such that images of suspicious vehicles, persons, packages or other items can be recorded for future forensic investigations.
