Barix Paging, Intercom and Security systems
Barix offers a complete range of IP-connected devices for securtiy applications that can be deployed in various tiers on university campuses, in airports, train stations, and municipal bus stations and on corporate campuses with multiple buildings. They either are deployed in a new system or as ancillary equipment to improve existing paging and security systems.
Utilizing open standards and protocols on existing network infrastructure, this approach is ideal for budget-conscious organzaitons that need an affordable, high performance solution that is quickly and easily implemented.
The Barix scalable three-tier approach to emergency messaging and security :
PagingEnable building-wide or multi-building paging over existing PA systems.
|
IntercomAn intercom system offers more direct emergency communication by installing two-way communication devices in each room. |
Security ControlAutomated security from door monitoring up to and including complete lock-down can be accomplished for critical emergency situations. |
Paging
The first tier is a paging system using Barix ANNUNCICOM intercom devices and EXSTREAMER audio decoders to enable building-wide or multi-building paging over existing PA systems.
Messages can be broadcast to one receiving device, or to pre-configured "groups" of devices, or to all receiving devices for point-to-multipoint paging. No central server or intelligence is needed, making the system very cost effective, scalable, easy to deploy an manageable.
Intercom
The second tier is an intercom system using ANNUNCICOM two-way intercom devices in each location. EXSTREAMER devices can be installed in locations that do not require two-way communication.
In the university or corporate settings for exmaple, each Annuncicom can interface with a wall panel containing a loudspeaker, microphone, call buttons, and perhaps a keyboard. The "central" device in the security office can communicate over the IP network with one or multiple devices installed in rooms, or a room could communicate directly with the security office or even with other rooms or buildings, depending on the configuration. Each ANNUNCICOM device can also be used to control external hardware such as an electric door strike or alarm.
Security Control
The third tier is security control, ranging from controlling a single electric door strike up to a full lock-down. ANNUNCICOM (and many EXSTREAMER) devices provide relay outputs and support firmware that allows them to communicate with peripheral hardware attached to the device, such as a card reader or an electric door strike or a control panel with speaker and buttons.
Alternatively, a Barix BARIONET automation device can be used to control such peripheral hardware.
