Motion Dete ctor: This is a device mounted
strategically inside the facility to detect motion
within a pr edetermined area. The most
commonly used type is the infrared det ector,
which sens es changes in infrared e nergy
(temperature) related to mo vements within the
coverage area. The cove rage pattern and
sensitivity of t he unit can b e adjusted during
the installatio n to avoid false alarms due to
pets.
Glass Break Detector: This is a se nsor
placed on a window or skylight that initiat es an
alarm at the moment gla ss is broken. This
sensor 'listen s' for the distinct soun d of
breaking glas s or the feel of its vibrations.
These sensors are not always nece ssary,
however, if w indow cont acts and/or motion
detectors are used.
Smoke Dete ctor: This is a smoke detector
that senses s moke or flame, triggering a loca l
alarm as w ell as transmitting an associated
message to the monitor ing station. The
Monitoring Station, in turn, is able to notify the
fire department on a 24-hr a day basis.
Panic Alarm: A panic alarm is another type of
detector that can be ad ded to a ce ntrally
monitored system. Panic bu ttons can be used
to notify polic e, or other au thorities as set up
during installa tion. Pan ic bu ttons can be f ixed
or portable, worn around the neck or carried.
This feature can provide immeasurable peace
of mind for elderly or infirm persons---or
anyone spending time alone in their home.
Carbon Monoxide S ensor: A device that
detects to xic levels of carb on monoxide gas.
Early warning of low levels of carbon monoxide
allows preven tative steps t o be taken b efore
serious harm occurs.
Critical Points: In addition to providing
intrusion detection and peace of mind for fire
and personal protection, many other conditions
can be electro nically supervised. For e xample
supervising a freezer to al ert someone w hen
the temperature rises. Water and gas
detectors als o e xist to safeguard ag ainst
property damage, etc. These critical p oints
can be monit ored by a Mo nitoring Statio n 2 4
hours a day.
Readers and Cards/Tokens: Updated door-
control modules are su pported, providing
access contro l (w ith In/ Out tracking) for tw o
doors (1 or 2 readers per door). The readers
can be magnetic stripe, Wiegand, Proximity, or
other readers that outp ut in a sta ndard
magnetic stripe or Wiegand (swipe) format.
G-Prox reade rs, and the newer G-Pro x II
intelligent (jumper-free) readers and
associated G -Prox pro ximity cards are fully
supported. These readers are available with
or w ithout ke ypad, and in standard (w all/flush
mount), mullion-mount, and "Arming St ation"
designs.
(Wiegand-output keypads allo w for "Card Plus
PIN" entry, and duress signalling.)
Two (definable) card formats ar e supported at the
same time, allo wing t wo t ypes of Wiegand/Proximity
cards to be use d (per panel), o r Wiegand/Prox and
Magstripe/Barcode. Wiegand cards (or Wieg and
output) can be t he industry standard format-A 26-bit,
or prop rietary 36-bit form at, plus user-definable
Wiegand format s up to 40-bits in length. Magn etic
stripe cards (or equivalent out put) can be either
standard mag netic stripe access cards, or
custom/existing cards that m eet the ISO 3 554
industry standard (user-definable formats).
Cards with 'ver sion numbers' are also suppor ted,
allowing fixed-ID cards to be reissued if lost or stolen.
"Matrix" st yle reader-ke ypads (i.e., that require
additional w iring for the ke ypad) are supported only
via converted PDC and TDC door controllers.
