Can Customers use their own
Broadband circuit for the Alarm New Zealand Fire Alarm monitoring service ?
All broadband circuits used for Fire Alarm
monitoring must be administered and controlled by the accredited automatic fire
alarm service provider ( AFASP ). This policy of a dedicated "broadband services
circuit" prevents unauthorised bandwidth use and ensures a greater degree of
reliability of the whole service.
What is a broadband Network Access
Device (NAD)?
How do I migrate existing or older
fire Alarms to broadband?
The ALARM NEW ZEALAND Broadband FIRE-LINK
service works with all Fire Alarm system ever installed in NZ. The Network
Access Device can simply replace the existing Fire alarm monitoring service
provider equipment without any inconvenience. All
Fire Alarm service network installers are able to perform this upgrade
to broadband, contact our
Sales Department
on 09-3030303 for more details.
How does
FIRE-LINK Broadband service work on sites with multiple buildings?
FIRE-LINK
is an automatic
fire-alarm monitoring service that provides notification to the New Zealand
Fire Service and/or the customer's designated call-out representatives of
all critical fire activations instantly as they occur. View our
How Fire-Link works
web page
or phone 09-3030303 for more details.
How do I get addressable Fire
Alarm Zone/point information to report to the Monitoring station?
The Network Access Device contains a Battery backed up monitored power
supply (APSU), router/modem/switch and alarm server devices. In New Zealand
Fire Alarms normally contain a SGD (Signal Generating Device) and each NAD
can support eight (8) standard and expandable to any amount of alarm panels.
Customers with modern Fire Alarm systems can
obtain an advanced fire Alarm server from ALARMNZ that delivers this
additional Zone/Point information to the monitoring station and the New
Zealand Fire Service. Point information is most useful in the tracking and
management of faults while zone information provides the basis in which the
NZFS can make operational deployment decisions.
What makes the Alarm New
Zealand Broadband service highly reliable?
Alarm New Zealand developed a new class of advanced
power supply technology (APSU) that in
most cases removed the last same percentage of failures that arise from
broadband communications. Traditional UPS power systems are not energy
efficient, expensive and employ complicated power conversion technology that
poses an unnecessary and significant threat to failure.
How Can I interface the NAD to
other local monitoring systems and equipment?
Alarm New Zealand developed the Network access
device for the fire industry there was a requirement for local annunciation
where fire equipment on site could be monitored via building automation
and/or security systems. To address this ALARMNZ created added inputs/outputs
to the Fire Alarm SGD server and created a device called the SGD relay board
that can be configured to mimic all conditions on the SGD RS-485 BUS.
What is the difference between
an Dial-up Analogue Alarm and a Broadband IP Alarm system?
The ALARM New Zealand operation centre processes
most events automatically via page, TxT, email, however often the direct
intervention of the monitoring operator is a highly effective method for
maintaining quality responses over various Alarm situations. Information about
our standard
Fire-Link Response Plans is available on request and if necessary each
response plan can be customised for each Fire Alarm service agents operation.
A Fire-Link broadband connection is the very latest
method of monitoring Alarms on a customers premises and offers many additional
features and capabilities our competitors cannot or will not offer. These
include FTP image service, VPN secure channel, VoIP Emergency Telephone services
and a ability to monitor multiple devices including Security, Video, Medical,
Building Automation and HVAC services. Future Proof your building
monitoring needs now with the technology solution that is destined to be the
benchmark for decades to come.
An analogue alarm relies on the POTS ( Plain Old
Telephone System ) to send signals to a central alarm monitoring station
(CMS) using DTMF tones within the voice channel as a transport layer. A
broadband alarm uses IP protocols to communicate to the CMS and when it does
this without the need of a backup POTs line and is termed a "native"
broadband
IP Alarm
system.
