Abstract

There is described an emergency action system which is an integrated security control and communications system employed for relatively large and secure installations such as embassies, military buildings and so on. The emergency action system apparatus consists of two major subdivisions. A first subdivision is a security and control subsystem which operates to monitor and control sensors and actuators associated with an intrusion detection system. The security and control subsystem handles event logging, generates alarm map displays and switches and distributes surveillance video. The second subdivision of the system is associated with user emergency action consoles which consoles provide the interface and handle voice and data communications to enable the user to interface with the existing communications system as located on the installation as well as with the intrusion detection system. The consoles include direct control circuits which provide for rapid fail safe actuation of various controls throughout the building such as doors and so on. The console contains various displays to enable the user to interface with both systems. This enables the user to control and monitor system operation from a single console which serves to integrate control of both the intrusion detection system as well as the communication system as existing on the premises.
