Study Notes
Auxiliary Systems in Fire Detection and Alarm System (FDAS) and Security Systems
- Auxiliary systems are crucial in fire and security systems, ensuring smooth operation and efficient responses to incidents.
- These systems include:
- Public address and background music systems
- Telecommunications and data systems
- Building Management System (BMS)
- Emergency lighting systems
- Intercom systems
Intrusion Detection Systems
- Sensors are installed on entry points (doors and windows) to trigger alarms when breached.
- Access control systems regulate entry using key cards, biometrics, PIN codes, or facial recognition.
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Systems
- CCTV systems are used for surveillance and security monitoring.
- Different camera Types:
- Bullet cameras: discrete and compact, often used for outdoor surveillance.
- Dome cameras: Offer a wide field of view, commonly used in indoor settings.
- PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras: Allow for remote control of panning, tilting, and zooming, enhancing situational awareness.
- C-Mount cameras: Utilize a detachable lens, offering flexibility in customization.
- Infrared/Night vision cameras: Capture images in low-light conditions, especially helpful for nighttime surveillance.
- HD CCTV: Provide high-resolution images for detailed viewing.
- Wireless CCTV: Suitable for difficult locations, allowing accessibility through internet connections.
Integrating CCTV into Building Design
- Identify key areas for camera placement, considering field of view and potential blind spots.
- Determine appropriate mounting heights and angles for optimal viewing angles and coverage.
- Utilize CCTV software for video management, analysis, and recording.
Advances in CCTV Technology
- Smart CCTV: Incorporates AI applications like vehicle detection, person detection, face recognition, traffic counting, and license plate recognition (LPR).
- Video Analytics: Employs advanced algorithms and machine learning to analyze video footage, alerting security personnel to specific events or anomalies.
- Cloud-based storage and remote access: Securely stores video data on remote servers, accessible via the internet.
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS)
- Designed to detect and signal the presence of intruders or intrusion attempts, often protecting specific rooms, entire buildings, or groups of buildings.
- Basic IDS components include sensors, control panels, and alarm devices.
Intercom Systems
- Facilitate communication within different parts of a building.
- Key components:
- Master Stations: Central hubs for communication, typically located in security or management offices.
- Substations: Installed in individual units or rooms, enabling communication with the master station.
Variety of Intercom System Types
- Wireless Intercom Systems: Offer two-way communication, including handheld radios, outdoor callboxes, and desktop devices.
- Wired Intercom Systems: Provide protection against interference, commonly used in security applications.
- Video Intercom Systems: Feature a camera, speaker, and activation button for communication from an entrance door to an internal monitor.
- Components of a Basic Intercom System:
- Master Station or Base Station
- Sub-station
- Door Station
- Wall Mount Station
- Handset
- Headset
- Belt Pack
- Paging Signal
- Power Supply
