FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
The lock power supplies are required to receive a dry contact input from the fire alarm system, as per local and national fire codes, if
powering locks on doors in the path of egress. Electric locking devices in the path of egress shall be fail-safe. The intent of the dry
contact is to drop power from the lock power supplies to release electronically locked doors in the event of a fire condition to
prevent impeded egress. A dedicated connection shall be required for each applicable lock power supply.

Fail-Secure locking devices shall have UPS back-up and remain secure.

9.3 ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM

The access control system shall be part of SMS and incorporate multiple time schedules, access levels, time-controlled events and
report generation. The system shall be configured in a LAN/WAN network environment. The access control system workstations
will be located at the monitoring locations. Additional workstations can be placed in any location served by the network as desired.
The access control workstation consists of PCs, monitors, keyboard, mouse and printers connected to the shared network
Access readers shall be semi-flush and/or surface mounted devices incorporating smart technology. The reader will use an
intelligent bi-directional communications protocol and indicate status of a credential read. The credential shall be a laminated
card and/or FOB as desired by ownership.
Electrical locking devices shall be different types and styles of electrified locking devices interfaced with the Access Control
System. The locks are selected by architect and door hardware consultant per security requirements and door types. The electric
locking devices will consist of electric strikes, electric mortise locks and magnetic locks as required. The Request to Exit (RTE /
REX) device for any access-controlled door shall be:

• Contained within the door hardware for mortis and exit push bar locks utilized with micro switches.
• Magnetic-Locks will only be used as the last resort and the only alternative and will require a push button and motion
sensor for RTE.
• Electric strikes will require a motion sensor for RTE etc. The RTE devices shall be of a type approved for operation with
the associated locking devices.
The access control Intelligent controller will serve as the data collection and communications interface between the host and the
field devices, such as card readers, alarm inputs and control outputs. The ACS controller shall be in a secure closet, separate
security closet, telecom rooms as necessary.
Host controller shall be a part of SMS and will utilize network client/server-based architecture with fully distributed processing.
The system will have a graphical user interface (GUI) and real-time monitoring with user configurable maps and dynamic icons.

9.4 IP – VIDEO SURVEILLANCE

The IP – Video Surveillance system shall be a part of the integrated SMS. All IP – Video Surveillance cameras recording is
accomplished using servers and Network Video recorders (NVR).

Three types of camera applications employed in the project.
• Fixed cameras dedicated to specific areas
• 360 degree cameras will provide an overall surveillance will provide large areas or multiple camera views simultaneously
• PTZ cameras will provide general surveillance and permit automatic and manual control from security operators.
All cameras shall be solid-state color high-resolution, day-night, low light, wide dynamic range utilizing the latest imaging
technology sensor.
Fixed high mega-pixel cameras with veri-focal lens will provide for the best view possible of each of the protected areas.
Fixed camera locations shall operate in a passive/active mode and shall alarm in the selected monitoring location (or any
combination of locations), upon activation of the intrusion detection device. The system will accomplish camera monitoring and
alarm acknowledgement while viewing, recording and monitoring any activity in the area without interruption.
