System 3000 Technical Overview
The NetTalon System 3000 is an emergency information system, designed and built on
the premise that more information facilitates better decisions. The System 3000 is
comprised of a family of communication products that detects and notifies multiple
first responders and monitoring centers of changes in site conditions in real-time.
The NetTalon System 3000 represents a change in the method of communications traditional to
conventional alarm systems, differentiating it as an emergency information system.
The Difference:
At every level, the System 3000 delivers improved system performance;
- Modular interface boards allow for easy expansion and flexible configuration.
- Rapid response time, 1-2 seconds.
- Network-friendly design allows for worldwide monitoring capability.
- Simultaneous update of changing site conditions to multiple monitoring stations.
- Graphic user interface provides more information in less time and with less complexity.
Modular Interface.
Each of the distributed controllers (DIUs) house up to four (4)sensor/control interface boards
(any combination). Boards may be added anytime to expand the capacity of the system. System design
allows for integration of future interface boards without firmware change.
Rapid Response.
The speed of the System 3000 is enabled through the contribution of a number of system design elements:
- Each sensor/control interface boards polls the line conditions hundreds of times each second.
- Each DIU is polled by the Alarm panel every 1/30th second over a pair of redundant signaling circuits.
- Upon detection of a change, registered monitoring stations are immediately updated (‘events’ are pushed to each monitoring station).
Network-Friendly Design.
The System 3000 uses Internet Protocol (IP) for communications over the network interface, making
it compatible with a wide variety of network topologies, firewalls, and secure network communication devices.
Since the NetTalon System 3000 uses IP-friendly communications, it can be supported through a wide
variety of existing communication infrastructures.
Graphic User Interface.
The alarm panel and each of the monitoring stations provide graphic-rich screens to simplify the user
interface and speed notification. All icons are updated at the same time, allowing multiple,
simultaneously changing events to be displayed as they occur. Icons may represent individual sensors
or groups of sensors. Selecting or ‘clicking’ on a group icon navigates the user to the next level of detail.
The real-time displays may be configured to show the status of a group of points or discrete points.
Group points may be selected to view greater detail (next map level).
Icons may be linked with Active-X controls that interface with: camera servers/DVRs, access control systems,
etc.
Simultaneous Updates.
The NetTalon System 3000 sends changes in sensor state to all of the network-connected monitoring stations
at the time of detection. The unsolicited transmission of changing event status information by the alarm
detection system is unique to the NetTalon System 3000. Each and every alarm panel notifies all authorized
monitoring stations of changes taking place at the site. The ground commander no longer has to serve as
the incident communications hub, freeing their time to make command decisions and coordinate the response
activity.
Applications:
Because of its design flexibility the System 3000 may be used to support a wide foundation of
infrastructure protection:
- Building Security Protection
- Building Fire Protection
- Force Protection
- Environmental Monitoring
- Critical Infrastructure Protection (power plants, communication centers, water treatment, fuel storage, etc.)
The System 3000 is compatible with a wide variety of existing sensor technologies, ranging from simple door
contact sensors all the way to VX gas detectors. Further, due to its IP-friendly architecture, special
hot icons may be configured to activate client interfaces to sensor systems (access control systems,
fence intrusion systems, and digital video systems etc.).
