Smoke Detector: This is a smoke detector
that senses smoke or flame, triggering a local
alarm as well as transmitting an associated
message to the monitoring 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 added to a centrally
monitored system. Panic buttons can be used
to notify police, or other authorities as set up
during installation. Panic buttons can be fixed
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 Sensor: A device that
detects toxic levels of carbon monoxide gas.
Early warning of low levels of carbon monoxide
allows preventative steps to be taken before
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 electronically supervised. For example
supervising a freezer to alert someone when
the temperature rises. Water and gas
detectors also exist to safeguard against
property damage, etc. These critical points
can be monitored by a Monitoring Station 24
hours a day.
Readers and Cards/Tokens: Updated door-
control modules are supported, providing
access control (with In/Out tracking) for two
doors (1 or 2 readers per door). The readers
can be magnetic stripe, Wiegand, Proximity, or
other readers that output in a standard
magnetic stripe or Wiegand (swipe) format.
G-Prox readers, and the newer G-Prox II
intelligent (jumper-free) readers and
associated G-Prox proximity cards are fully
supported. These readers are available with
or without keypad, and in standard (wall/flush
mount), mullion-mount, and "Arming Station"
designs.
(Wiegand-output keypads allow for "Card Plus
PIN" entry, and duress signalling.)
Two (definable) card formats are supported at the
same time, allowing two types of Wiegand/Proximity
cards to be used (per panel), or Wiegand/Prox and
Magstripe/Barcode. Wiegand cards (or Wiegand
output) can be the industry standard format-A 26-bit,
or proprietary 36-bit format, plus user-definable
Wiegand formats up to 40-bits in length. Magnetic
stripe cards (or equivalent output) can be either
standard magnetic stripe access cards, or
custom/existing cards that meet the ISO 3554
industry standard (user-definable formats).
Cards with 'version numbers' are also supported,
allowing fixed-ID cards to be reissued if lost or stolen.
"Matrix" style reader-keypads (i.e., that require
additional wiring for the keypad) are supported only
via converted PDC and TDC door controllers.
