ELV Defined

• IEC defines Extra Low Voltage (ELV) as any system operating in a

voltage not exceeding 50V ac (or 120V ripple free dc). ELV system

in a building is a wide range of services, including:

– ICT (IT, Internet, UC) services

– Electronic Safety And Security (Video Surveillance, Access Control,

Intrusion Detection, Fire Detection & Alarm, Voice Alarm, Watchman Tour

Systems, etc) Systems (ESSS)

– Notification & Entertainment (Public Address System, Display, TV (IP-TV,

SMATV) Systems

– Building Monitoring/Management/Automation Systems (BMS & BAS) for

ESSS, environmental conditioning systems such as heating, ventilation, and

air conditioning (HVAC), and internal and external lighting.

The Needs And Advantages Of

Integration• Access to technologies and solutions that otherwise would not have been possible or

would have been limited in scope– Integration will allow convergence which can encompass a range of capabilities, from limited

monitoring to full command and control functions across a common IP-based network. Some of the most common types of convergence are:• Multimedia (voice, video, text) real time collaboration within and across entities scattered all over the world

and beyond, as in IP telephony, Unified Communications and Tele presence

• Interconnection of CCTV and Access Control systems for events tracking

• Interconnection of PAS as a the voice alarm system to Fire Detection and Alarm system

• Integration of BMS system for services ranging from basic monitoring and reporting of the various ESS systems to intelligent management of them all.

– Intelligence and analytics leveraging on the output of data, voice, surveillance video, and access control, instruction detection, fire alarm systems, etc.

– Cloud Usage to Manage Costs and Risk

• Cost– Substantial savings is made when resources are shared by the different systems

• Ease of Operations and Maintenance– Manageability and Serviceability

– Modularity make Add and Replace

– Simplified

The Enablers – Industry Standards

• While there are many proprietary communications protocol and standards with

different vendors promising integration and interoperability it is better to stick

as much as possible to industry standards like:

The Standard Technology/System

ANSI/TIA‐568‐C Series and ISO 11801 Twisted pair and optical transport

ANSI/TIA‐862‐A Building Automation Systems Cabling

Standard for Commercial Buildings

ANSI/TIA‐1005‐A Industrial automation

ONVIF Video surveillance and access control

IEEE 802.3at, IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3bt

Power over Ethernet

Power over Ethernet

IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN, Wi-Fi, mesh

IEEE 802.15 Wireless PAN, ZigBee, mesh

– –100 ohm balanced twisted pair (UTP)

– –Multimode optical fiber

– –Single-mode fiber

IEEE 802.3at, IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3bt

• Power over Ethernet (POE) up to 30W over twisted pair using 802.3at and

af compliant equipments are everywhere – IP camera, Door Access

Control readers and controllers, IP Communications Endpoints, WLAN AP,

etc

• IEEE 802.3bt™ “IEEE Standard for Applications requiring over 30W is under

development. These include all range of equipment from Nurse call

systems, POS, Thin clients, virtual desktop to Videoconferencing

Endpoints.

The Enabler: – “IP on Everything””

The Enabler: – “IP on Everything””

• The Internet protocol suite is the computer networking model and set of communications protocols used on the Internet and similar computer networks. It is commonly known as TCP/IP, because its most important protocols, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP), were the first networking protocols defined in this standard.

• Running Over Ethernet (wired or wireless) protocol.

• TCP/IP (Internet Protocol suite) is the primary network protocol used on the Internet. The Internet has not only affected every business and IT department, but it changed global communications.

• IP is not only the protocol of the Internet; it became the default protocol for local networks in every company, as well as the home.

IP – IN Office ICT

IP – Unified Communications For The Hospitality

Industry

IP – In Video Surveillance

IP – In Access Control

IP – In TV (IPTV) System

IP – In Public Address & Voice Alarm

Steps to Full Integration: Organisation-

Wide Standardisation on Manufacturer

• While not advocating one single vendor/manufacturer for all components, an organization is better off choosing limited no of vendors for different components

• Standardization will ease Integration and Convergence of different components (CCTV, Access Control, PA, Fire Alarm, etc) together. It will enable Integration and Convergence between the branches and head office

• Closer relationship with the manufacturers which will ensure maximum corporate discount and extended, more encompassing, warranty and technical support of the system

Steps to Full Integration: Hierarchical

Design
