NFPA 731 Section 4.4.6.2 is all about properly installing the security equipment in a manner where the equipment will be protected from failure due to things like accidental jarring, vibration, over voltage, excessive temperatures, and humidity. Also see Section 4.2.

An example of a bad place to install a premises security control panel or monitoring equipment is the main electrical room where the room may be subject to excessive heat from nearby transformers or other equipment. See below for additional details.

Below is a sample of NFPA 731. For the complete section, see the actual NFPA 731 text at NFPA.ORG. Once there, click on the free access link to the latest edition of NFPA 731.
