Using Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) to Supplement ACS CCTV may be used to supplement the monitoring of a SCIF entrance for remote control of the door from within the SCIF. The system shall present no technical security hazard. The remote control device shall be within the interior of the SCIF. The system shall provide a clear view of the SCIF entrance and shall be monitored/operated by SCI-indoctrinated personnel within the SCIF. CCTV communication lines should be located within the SCIF. Communication lines that must run external to the SCIF shall be installed to prevent tampering as approved by the AO. Non-Automated Access Control Non-automated access control devices (mechanical, electric, or electromechanical) may be approved by the AO to control access to SCIFs where the number of personnel that require access is low and there is only one entrance. Combinations shall consist of four (4) or more random digits. The use of pass keys to bypass such devices should be avoided except when local fire/safety codes require them. Any pass keys for such devices must be strictly controlled by SCI-indoctrinated personnel. Mechanical access control devices (e.g., UNICAN, Simplex) shall be installed to prevent manipulation or access to coding mechanisms from outside the door. The following shall apply to electric or electromechanical access control devices: The control or keypad shall be installed in such a manner to preclude unauthorized observation of the combination or the actions of a combination change. The selection and setting of combinations shall be accomplished by the SO and shall be changed when compromised or deemed necessary by the SO. The control in which the combination and all associated cabling and wiring is set shall be located inside the SCIF and shall have sufficient physical security to deny unauthorized access to its mechanism.
