  1. NOTIFIER IP Communicators The Modern Age of Central Station Reporting

  2. Agenda Agenda • An Overview of IP for Monitoring • IP Solutions • Code Compliance  • Compatible Fire Alarm Systems • Summary

  3. An Overview of IP for Monitoring • IP Fire Alarm Monitoring • Secure, reliable fire alarm communications method using IP network • Viable choice for those experiencing POTS communications troubles • Telco providers are multiplexing to save cost • Analog lines going away! • Reduces or eliminates monthly cost of analog phone lines to the end user • Compatible to VoIP routers and VoIP provider networks • Connection Supervision increased from once every 24 hours to once every 90 seconds

  4. An Overview of IP for Monitoring • Why IP? Why now? • Current TCP/IP networks are mature, robust and reliable • Mission-critical services (bank and stock transactions, retail, etc) rely on IP, why not Fire Alarm? • Traditional telephone systems removed in favor of VoIP • Increases efficiency of alarm transmission • Always on - No need for call setup • High transmission speeds - Alarm is transmitted in seconds • Internet access is shared - No need to pay for an extra IP line • At the customer location • Many lines at the Alarm Receiving Center (ARC)

  5. An Overview of IP for Monitoring • Faster alarm transmission • Means help arrives faster • Full Contact ID reporting to pinpoint trouble fast • Always on - No need for call setup • High transmission speeds - Alarm is transmitted in seconds • Internet access is shared - No need to pay for an extra IP line • At the customer location • Many lines at the Alarm Receiving Center (ARC)

  6. Alarm Monitoring & Automation Software Telephone line alarm receiver Telephone network Fire Panel Detectors An Overview of IP for Monitoring • Telco Dialer Model • Transmission can take >1 minute end-to-end • Monitoring stations usually pay for 800 numbers (or even local calls) for the panels to dial in • Cost passed to end users in fees typically on a per call basis • Comm failures are not detected by the monitoring station until a 24 hour test signal is lost • Not compatible with VoIP scenarios

  7. An Overview of IP for Monitoring • Easy to install • Fits right inside or right beside the panel • Fast programming and simple interfaces • Can set up at the office and transport to the job site • Programs via laptop/desktop • It answers any phone number dialed by the panel so no panel changes required

  8. An Overview of IP for Monitoring • None of the private radio network problems • Large investment for a capable radio network • Best in metro/city where accounts are close • At network fringe, finding multiple paths difficult • Panel is relying on the integrity of the accounts around them to relay messages. • Some radio systems use the Fire panel printer output as the connection means. • Printer output is not expected in the critical alarm communications path • Software updates may alter Printer output

  9. An Overview of IP for Monitoring • This is a business building opportunity for installers • The savings in phone line charges will pay for the installation • It’s a source of new work for installers

  10. IP Solutions - IP Communicator • The IP communicator module allows NOTIFIER panels to use a customer‘s existing IP network as a communication path to transmit alarms • It offers performance, functionality enhancements, and cost savings to traditional digital dialer communicators

  11. Internet IPDACT-2UD Operator Alarm Panel Central Station Receiver IP Solutions - IP Communicator • Full bi-directional access to the alarm panel over the internet • No third party access to information (latest 512 bit encryption) • No geographic limitations (UD operator can be anywhere) • Supervision is outstanding – every 90 seconds • Works with any fire panel • Remote Diagnostics allows troubleshooting from any connected PC

  12. Status LED’s Reset Local serial console port Connections Ethernet 10/100Mbps interface Phone interface activity LED IP Solutions - IP Communicator IPDACT-2 & IPDACT-2UD 12

  13. IP Solutions – VisorAlarm Receiver • Central station Teldat IP receiver • Top quality turn key IP solution with Teldat’s experience and expertise • Plug and play with any automation software • UL listed for fire and security • Emulates existing popular receivers

  14. IP Solutions – VisorAlarm Receiver • The IP receivers are synchronized to each other for immediate backup turnover • Subscriber data is stored/backed up to a smart card • Allows a replacement to be put back into service within 30 seconds • IP Receivers are very robust; not a “patch” to existing telephone receivers but designed specifically for IP alarm monitoring

  15. IP Solutions – VisorAlarm Receiver Serial port #2 Alarm printer Ethernet port Internet Automation Server Serial port #1 • Teldat IP receiver emulates a conventional phone receiver • Ademco 685 • Radionics 6500 • Surgard MLR2000 / MLR2D • Serves IP Alarms generated by Contact-ID Alarm Panels • Supervises the IP Link to each registered account • Supports Upload / Download over IP (to select FACPs)

  16. IP Solutions – System Integrity • Provision for disaster recovery • Based on the architecture of IP receivers, remote duplicate receivers can be located anywhere! • If a site is brought down for any reason, (fire, flood, etc.) a remote site can provide immediate switch over • IP receivers permit duplicate monitoring for troubles by an end user or alarm dealer for better service to end user subscribers

  17. IP Solutions - Secure Access • Confidentiality • All exchanged IP traffic is encrypted in AES-512 • Meets and exceeds SIA IP specification-512 bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) • Anti-replay protection, man-in-the-middle protection • The VisorALARM only serves registered IP Communicators • The registration process is password protected • IP Communicator programming access is password protected • The VisorALARM programming is user and password protected • Three user access levels • Anti-device substitution • IP Communicator registers into the VisorALARM during installation with unique and non-writable information
