Meanwhile a surveillance center was installed in order to connect all the cameras for better management.

The first floor consists of the main reception area, access control and security, entrance hall and press office. The large entrance hall is used frequently for temporary exhibitions on themes related to the federal government's programs. To ensure every corner was fully protected, the Palace upgraded a part of analog cameras with Dahua HD IP cameras and added more units to level it up to another higher stage.
