Electronic Safety and Security System (ESSS) For The Building Industry

ICT Solutions Limited working with our principals (Bosch, Axis, Siemens, Paxton, Cisco, etc) has the capacity and are willing to serve as a designer, installer and integrator of Electronic Safety and Security System (ESSS).

By Electronic Safety and Security System (ESSS) we mean components of building’s extra low voltage (ELV) services, which include:

Access Control System (ACS): Access control is important for overall personal safety and the protection of physical and intellectual property. Access control devices can include entry point locks, integrated electronic devices controlling a single door or room, or a complex system of interconnected electronic devices controlling a zone, building, or campus. ESS designs can be affected by each individual’s location and the level of security desired.

Intrusion Detection: Intrusion detection is often viewed as part of the ACS because most door controls for access control can alarm when the door is left open or opened without a valid card read. However, it is a stand-alone system that must be evaluated to its own standards and levels of due diligence. These systems use everything from simple switches to complex devices that detect motion, heat, glass breaking, or other nonstandard occurrences in the area to detect the presence of persons in secure zones. Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) can generate simple local or paging alarms or can be integrated with other systems to provide more active responses (e.g., turning on cameras or lighting).

Surveillance (CCTV): Video surveillance is a widely used technology within ESS systems. Video surveillance involves the use of cameras for watching or controlling assets. It is the process of image: Capturing, Transmitting, Processing, Viewing, Recording

Fire Detection and Alarm: Fire detection and alarm involves the early detection and notification of life safety threats. Fire detection and alarm requires that the ESS designer have a thorough knowledge of specific codes, statutes, and the requirements of the applicable authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).

Notification and display Systems: Two primary functions for audio communication systems as they relate to electronic safety and security (ESS) are: Life safety and Public address (PA). The purpose of life safety systems is to provide notification of a potential life safety concern. In many systems, loudspeakers or horns may be addressed individually, in logical groups (e.g. zones), or all at once. The life safety system may be accessed through a telephone system via interactive voice response or via live operator, be accessed through the Internet, or have a dedicated console or microphone. The system may be used to provide instruction to building occupants on where to seek places of safety and shelter in the event of an emergency (e.g., tornado, chemical spill). The design and installation of a life safety system must conform to the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).

Network Security: As more of ESS systems migrate to the IP network, the issues of protecting those systems must be addressed. Isolation can provide protection but at the cost of remote access. Remote access to a network allows the possibility of outside interference and harm. Firewalls, encryption, virtual private networks (VPNs), and other methods of protection are available.

Integrated Systems: Integrated systems cover concepts, systems, and processes related to the convergence of ESS systems or their integration with other building systems. Through integration, ESS systems begin to interact with other building systems. Integrated ESS systems are deployed in a wide variety of environments, including facilities, campuses, vehicles, and persons.
