Direct answer
What security should accomplish here
A place-of-worship security plan should clarify public-event doors, weekday or after-hours entry, volunteer and staff credentials, office and storage areas, and the legitimate purpose of each camera. Technology should support the organization’s emergency and volunteer procedures without turning an open community space into an unnecessarily restrictive one.
