Manufacturer Because we require extensive manufacturing experience, has your system Yes No Experience controller manufacturer’s primary role been in the security industry for a minimum of thirty-five (35) years? System Messaging We require the maximum capabilities in communication offered by the Yes No Compatibility manufacturer. Does your system controller manufacturer also engineer, and manufacture a receiver that receives all messages in less than six seconds? If so, can this receiver receive each and every status message that the controller sends? Experience in Network Has your manufacturer been providing TCP/IP network monitoring for a Yes No Monitoring minimum of thirty (30) years? No Invasive systems on Because our network is so important to the operation of our business, We Yes No our network require that no additional PCs or terminals be allowed upon our network. Does your manufacturer require additional software or PC terminals in order to program or maintain operation of network monitoring functions? Network monitoring Because we require confirmation of the fitness of your monitoring Yes No flexibility and capabilities, the system must be listed by approved compliance agencies. compliance Can your manufacturer’s controller provide UL Standard Line Security network monitoring over a network that uses either DHCP, or static IP address? Easy operation Because we manage so many people, the system must be easy to operate. Yes No Does your system manufacturer offer keypads with integrated proximity identification capabilities? Seamless Integration Because we are aware of false alarm activations that may occur when Yes No with Access Control using a security system and access control system, we require that these two systems be designed into one control panel. Does your system offer intrusion detection and door access control functions that allow the user to disarm selected areas, and open an access door with a single presentation of a proximity identification device? Distribution of relay Because we intend to integrate this system with many of our other Yes No outputs electronic systems within the building, we require that the placement of triggering relays be as flexible as possible. Does your system have the ability to provide relay outputs in a central location, and distributed across a data bus which extends at least 15,000 feet? Relay triggering Because we intend to integrate this system with many of our other Yes No capabilities electronic systems within the building, we require that the triggering of relays be as flexible as possible. Can your system trigger relay outputs based upon zone status or system status, and can relays be triggered by way of keypad commands, software commands, Web browser commands, RF remote, and a pre-determined schedule?
