NOTIFIER IP Communicators The Modern Age of Central Station Reporting

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

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

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)

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)

An Overview of IP for Monitoring Telco Dialer Model - Transmission can take 1 minute end-to-end Alarm Monitoring & Automation Software - Monitoring stations usually pay for 800 numbers (or even local calls) for the panels to dial in Telephone line alarm receiver Telephone network Fire Panel Detectors - 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

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

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

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
