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
3
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)
4
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
6
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
7
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

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

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
16
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
