The control of entry to, or exit from, a secure area.
See Normal / Active / Tamper / Inhibited / Isolated
The state of a security system when a device connected to a zone is
activated and the condition of the area is such that activation should
be signalled. E.g. a door lock is broken, causing a siren to sound.
The control of alarm functions.
Alarm groups define the options available to users, arming stations or
door reader to allow alarm control. Alarm groups are defined by,
areas, alarm control functions and menu options.
Zone types for area control (keyswitches) also make use of alarm
groups.
An alarm group restriction can be assigned to an alarm group to
enable different types of user to:
•
Use timed disarm option for certain area(s)
•
Restrict alarm control to "Arm/reset only" on certain area(s) or
•
Utilise the "User Count" or "Emergency" function.
A procedure to transmit alarm and other events to a central station by
a dialler using a set of rules called a protocol.
A record is kept on the movement of users. To be able to perform the
operation, users need to present their card or PIN when entering or
leaving premises. Anti-passback might inhibit users entering the
premises if they did not register leaving.
A section of a premise which has specific security requirements. The
ATS system allows any premise to be divided into 16 areas of
different security requirements. Each area has its own zones. Each
area is identified by a number and a name. E.g. Area 1 Office, Area 2
Workshop, Area 3 Boardroom, etc.
The condition of an area where a change in the status of any zone
(from normal to active) causes an alarm. An area or premise is only
armed when it is unoccupied. Some zones (like vaults) can remain
armed continually.
A device that is the user's control panel for security functions for an
area(s) or for access points (doors). The arming station can be an
ATS console (LCD keypad, reader) or any other device that can be
used to perform security function, such as arm/disarm, open doors,
etc.
An alarm triggered by a security device such as a PIR or door
contact, indicating someone has entered without authorised access.
A credit card sized device that holds information to identify a user.
The information, to identify a user, can be available on a magnetic
strip, a bar-coded strip, and a Wiegand card or in a chip (smart
cards).
A company that monitors alarms that may occur in a security system.
A central station is usually located away from the premise or area it
monitors.
