Alarm signals can be used to control various electrical equipment in the building.
The arm/disarm and alarm signals of intrusion alarm systems should be used more effectively to control electrical equipment in tenant buildings. In particular, automating access control processes is expected to be more effective when integrated with intrusion alarm systems. For example, when the first employee enters a building that is unmanned at night using an intrusion alarm system, the alarm system in the common areas is disarmed using an outdoor card reader or other control device. This disarm signal can be transmitted to the building’s electrical equipment, turning on the lights in the common areas and activating the air conditioners and automatic doors. Similarly, when the first employee arrives for a particular tenant and disarms the alarm system for that tenant, elevators can be activated to allow access to the corresponding floor, and also the lights and air conditioners in the tenant’s interior can be activated.
Conversely, when the last tenant employee leaves the room, the lights and air conditioners in the tenant’s interior can be automatically stopped, preventing the other people from moving to the armed floor by an elevator. When the last person leaving the entire building activates the alarm system for that tenant, the alarm system for the entire common areas can be automatically armed, while the lights, air conditioners, and automatic doors in the common areas can be simultaneously controlled and stopped. Alarms can also be automatically integrated with other electrical systems. For example, by transmitting a fire alarm to an access control system, the electronic lock being locked can be forcibly unlocked, making it easier to evacuate from the building, or an intrusion alarm can be used to trigger a surveillance camera system to switch to recording mode. Namely, the transmission signal from an intrusion alarm system can be used in a variety of ways for the building management.
