14.0 SYSTEM COMPARISON
14.1 Basic Comparison Items Table
The table below lists features or points found necessary for successful installation and continued service of an
integrated system. Compare your current system with the listed items. Please provide a certification document
providing a clear and truthful statement that agrees with your response to each question.
Important Points Explanation Response
Made in USA Is your system engineered, designed, manufactured, assembled, and
distributed from a location within the United States of America?
Yes No
Forward and Backward
compatibility
Because we want to preserve a maximum portion of our investment over
time, can your system manufacturer certify that its has practiced forward
and backward compatibility of main system components such as the panel,
keypads, zone expansion devices, and relay output devices for a minimum
of the last twenty (20) years?
Yes No
Manufacturer
Experience
Because we require extensive manufacturing experience, has your system
controller manufacturer’s primary role been in the security industry for a
minimum of twenty (20) years?
Yes No
System Messaging
Compatibility
We require the maximum capabilities in communication offered by the
manufacturer. Does your system controller manufacturer also engineer,
and manufacture a receiver that receives all messages in less than six
seconds? If so, can this receiver receive each and every status message
that the controller sends?
Yes No
Experience in Network
Monitoring
Has your manufacturer been providing TCP/IP network monitoring for a
minimum of fifteen (15) years?
Yes No
Proven success in
Network monitoring
capabilities.
Does your manufacturer have at least 15,000 installed systems which use
network monitoring to report messages by way of a TCP/IP network?
Yes No
No Invasive systems on
our network
Because our network is so important to the operation of our business, We
require that no additional PCs or terminals be allowed upon our network.
Does your manufacturer require additional software or PC terminals in
order to program or maintain operation of network monitoring functions?
Yes No
Network monitoring
flexibility and
compliance
Because we require confirmation of the fitness of your monitoring
capabilities, the system must be listed by approved compliance agencies.
Can your manufacturer’s controller provide UL Grade AA network
monitoring over a network that uses either DHCP, NAT, or a static IP
address?
Yes No
Easy operation Because we manage so many people, the system must be easy to operate.
Does your system manufacturer offer keypads with integrated proximity
identification capabilities?
Yes No
Seamless Integration
with Access Control
Because we are aware of false alarm activations that may occur when using
a security system and access control system, we require that these two
systems be designed into one control panel. Does your system offer
intrusion detection and door access control functions that allow the user
to disarm selected areas, and open an access door with a single
presentation of a proximity identification device?
Yes No
Distribution of relay
outputs
Because we intend to integrate this system with many of our other
electronic systems within the building, we require that the placement of
triggering relays be as flexible as possible. Does your system have the
ability to provide relay outputs in a central location, and distributed
across a data bus which extends at least 15,000 feet?
Yes No
Relay triggering
capabilities
Because we intend to integrate this system with many of our other
electronic systems within the building, we require that the triggering of
relays be as flexible as possible. Can your system trigger relay outputs
based upon zone status or system status, and can relays be triggered by
way of keypad commands, software commands, Web browser commands,
RF remote, and a pre-determined schedule?
Yes No
