The Main Security Surveillance 24/7 monitoring center uses state-of-the-art computer and telecommunication technology in combination with highly trained dispatch operators to analyze and respond to electronic signals originating from subscriber systems installed in homes, businesses and government facilities.
Signals from subscriber systems originate from sensors located on the premises: smoke detectors, motion detectors, glass-break detectors, and door & window contacts just too name only a few. The system then automatically initiates communication with our 24/7 monitoring center, either through telephone lines, internet or by radio transmission. Many systems use two forms of communication to ensure redundancy.
Our Facality
- Is protected at all times by:
- Analytic video surveillance integrated into three Digital Video Recorders
- Continually upgraded biometric access controls
- Multi-agency approved fail-safes.
Reduntant Power Systems
- Dual digitally controlled Caterpillar diesel generators, supported by independent 1200 gallon fuel tanks, supply 1.2 megawatts of secure standby power.
- One Liebert 150kVA Uninterrupted Power Supply units, wired into a dual-buss configuration, guarantee continuous and uninterruptible power.
- Which is independently capable of supporting the critical load of the facility
Network Security and Crypto-Server
The Company's advanced network security systems include
- Dual IBM/Proventia Network Multi-Function Security Firewalls
- Redundant Blue Ridge crypto-servers
- These create a VPN "cryptographic tunnel" for external remote access, providing some of the most advanced encryption in the world
Computer Network Redundancy
- Multi-layered alarm processing redundancy is built on a full gigabit fiber optic backbone.
- Workstations communicate via Cisco 2950 series hubs with redundant fiber optic links connected through two Cisco Catalyst 6509 core switches with duplicated processor and power options package.
- Five IBM AIX servers with dual gigabit network cards and dual power supplies maintain real-time RAID 10 lockstep mirroring.
