Network Alarm Monitoring System Solution

1 Overview

At present, with the advancement of modern science and technology, the burglar network alarm monitoring system supported by technological products are playing an increasingly critical role in the entire social security system.

The network alarm monitoring system with the functions of timely alarming and receiving and handling is suitable for a wide range of public security management needs and can be set up as an alarm monitoring center. The network alarm monitoring system with the function of public security force dispatching is one of the key subsystems of constructing the security system.

How to build and make full use of the functional characteristics of the system, and closely linked with other security subsystems such as the network alarm monitoring system, to build a security system that has a unified structure, stable performance, strong scalability, and adapts to social development, has always been a local government and industry enterprise relentless pursuit.

2 Insufficient of Standard Network Alarm

At present, the communication in the network alarm system is still mainly landing telephone communication and will continue to be used for a relatively long period of time, because this kind of communication network has the advantages of a relatively popular network environment, mature technology, and low hardware cost. But at the same time, it should be noted that this communication method inevitably has inherent shortcomings:

• High communication costs and high system operating costs;
• Due to channel and cost reasons, it is difficult to realize two-way real-time communication, or the establishment of remote control takes a long time and the connection rate is low;
• It is easy to be destroyed, and the alarm center will not know immediately after the communication is destroyed, and the system risk is very high;
• The application of users in the wild, remote areas, or users in specific industries is restricted.

At present, due to the increasing popularity of burglar alarm systems, as people become more aware of the system, many people with ulterior motives have begun to use the insufficiency of landing telephone communication to carry out targeted sabotage activities and have caused losses to many users. Therefore, people of insight in the industry have been looking for other communication modes to enhance or replace traditional landing telephone communication capabilities to improve the security and practicality of network alarm system communications.

The 4G network communication transmission module and the TCP/IP network module came into being, changing the communication method based on landing telephone communication.

The alarm control panel organically combines the landing telephone and network module with the alarm and TCP/IP network, which truly achieves the core functions of low-cost, fast communication, high efficiency and stability, and front-end user anti-cutting.

Users of different natures can choose any one or two of these communication modules to expand the alarm communication capability of the alarm control panel and realize multi-network alarm communication to improve the reliability of system communication and enhance the system's anti-damage level.

3 Design principles

This program strictly follows the following principles in the design process:

1) The principle of openness

The system strictly follows the principle of openness. The system reserves a large number of common interfaces in hardware and software, which is a self-contained system, and can be easily incorporated into existing or later emergency systems, such as forwarding alarm information to public safety systems to realize social security and service resources unified dispatch; or connect the alarm signals of access control, fire protection and other systems to the front-end alarm system, and use the same communication environment and platform for information transmission and sharing.

2) The principle of reliability

The Alarm7.0 network alarm center management software has been installed and runs in tens of thousands of alarm monitoring centers of different levels and regions; the user front-end Athenalarm burglar alarms have been promoted in China for many years, with tens of millions of units in use, and many concentrated in the financial, telecommunications and other industries, therefore, we have full confidence in the reliability of the system products.

3) The principle of advancement

The linkage accessories and communication accessories selected in the system are new products independently developed. It is precise with these that the solution has a deep linkage between systems and the high adaptability to the communication environment that others cannot achieve, which indirectly improves the system cost-effective and reliable.

4) The principle of scalability

If necessary, the management center can easily upgrade and expand the capacity based on the number of networked users. At that time, only the corresponding communication lines and alarm hardware can be added, which will not affect the normal operation of the system. The system capacity can range from hundreds to millions of users. Internal adjustment; on the user side, each alarm control panel reserves one or two access points. If you need to increase the number of panels, you only need to connect the new control panel to the communication line.

5) The principles of operation and maintainability

The alarm monitoring center can not only receive alarm information, but also know the status information of the front-end equipment at any time, which can ensure that users are effectively protected; the network alarm center management software can query, count, and print user alarms, failures, charges, and other information at any time for convenience effective management. Thanks to long-term center construction and support experience, we can help establish a network alarm monitoring system in the shortest time and provide support in operation and management.

4 Project Requirements and Project Analysis

The network alarm system requires 24-hour monitoring of key targets, including financial business outlets, bank ATM machines, key corporate financial departments, key shops, important material storage warehouses, key household users, etc.

• The network alarm system requires that when dangerous situations such as burglary, robbery, robbery, fire, and other alarms occur, it can realize automatic alarms or manual alarms by on-site equipment; for different user communication conditions, the alarm information can be transmitted through one or more of multiple communication methods, such as the landing telephone network, wireless mobile phone network and TCP/IP network and be uploaded to the upper-level network alarm center. The alarm center can forward the information downward or upward to other alarm centers while analyzing the alarm records. The security forces can be deployed uniformly to deal with the alarm on the spot to realize command automation;
• The network alarm system has a complete operation and maintenance management function, which can know the working status of the field equipment at any time, and can perform remote diagnosis and maintenance when necessary, and can display electronic sandboxes for key users;
• The network alarm system should also have commercial operation and management capabilities and can query, count, and print the basic information of the networked users at any time, and various required statistical reports such as maintenance, inspection, and payment information lists;
• At the same time, the network alarm system needs to reserve standard interfaces or provide integrated solutions for the integrated construction of other security subsystems such as access control and monitoring systems at the user and central ends.

Therefore, in response to the above requirements, the network alarm center management software Alarm7.0 is used as the central-side alarm management system. The front-end user equipment of the system is mainly Athenalarm alarm products, and the integrated parts of communication, linkage, and other accessories are designed to design the network alarm system solution.

5 Introduction to Network Alarm Monitoring System

The standard network alarm system has the advantages of fast response, large capacity, and flexible organization. It is the current international urban or regional emergency system and has been used for more than 40 years worldwide.

The standard network alarm system structure diagram is as follows:

The user side must have at least one alarm control panel that processes the detector trigger signal and has a communication alarm function. According to the protection object and the type of potential danger, different numbers and types of detectors must be selected. After the alarm control panel receives the detector alarm signal and initially confirms that it is a real alarm, it will send the information to the network alarm center through the landing telephone network. Some alarm control panels can also send the alarm to the users outside, and then the user will manually alarm.

The network alarm monitoring system consists of the user terminal, the communication medium, and the alarm monitoring center. The user terminal includes various detection sensors, alarm control panels, video equipment; the communication medium is generally TCP/IP, 4G, or a public telephone switching network; the alarm monitoring center is composed of a dedicated digital alarm receiver, a server, an alarm management computer, and the corresponding alarm software.
