Intrepid™

System controllers

Flexible, broad-ranging local and remote perimeter control options.
Universal INTREPIDTM System Controllers provide extensive perimeter security management options, enabling the development of an alarm monitoring and control program to suit each facility's unique requirements. INTREPIDTM System Controllers offer scalable, plug-and-play solutions to suit sites of any size or configuration, with features ranging from local or remote relay control to centralized, TCP/IP-based management of large or multi-site applications. Network-based control options support remote device configuration and monitoring capabilities for networked applications.







Description

 

INTREPIDTM System Controllers conveniently and reliably manage all INTREPIDTM Series II perimeter detection systems - MicroPointTM II and MicroNetTM II Fence Detection Systems, MicroTrackTM II Buried Cable Detection System and MicroWave 330 Digital Microwave Link. Control modules also incorporate and operate contact-closure auxiliary security devices and interface with assessment equipment (CCTV/DVR) or other system outputs.

INTREPIDTM System Controllers facilitate the assignment of alarm inputs to specific perimeter segments - or zones - of desired lengths. For added flexibility, multiple sensor technologies can be assigned to a single zone. Zones may be associated with specific outputs - such as camera presets - so that when a perimeter breach is detected, precise visual assessment is achieved.

INTREPID controllers seamlessly integrate all Series II devices via a common, open architecture communications protocol using standard RS422 serial data interface. Communication connections may be made via copper wire, fiber optic cable or TCP/IP (CM II-N, PSM II, IPP II, RPM II).

SDK options are available to developers for high-level interface of INTREPIDTM Series II sensors into custom monitoring and control applications: INTREPIDTM Polling Protocol II (IPP II) and Remote Polling Module II (RPM II).

GRAPHIC CONTROL MODULE II-HD (GCM II-HD)

The INTREPIDTM Graphic Control Module II-HD (GCM II-HD) is a dedicated, Linux-based graphic system controller designed to provide large or multi-site facilities with local GUI-based alarm monitoring and control of INTREPIDTM Series II devices, contactclosure auxiliary security devices and CCTV equipment. The GCM II-HD is supplied as a self-contained module, including system hardware and application software with graphic mapping capabilities for robust system configuration and management.

The GCM II-HD features a user-friendly GUI that allows system operators to efficiently manage their facility's perimeter security program by incorporating a high-resolution site map to display detection zones and active icons representing each system device.

The GCM II-HD functions as system Pollmaster - polling all INTREPIDTM devices connected to its Communications port for status. When an intrusion attempt is detected from any INTREPIDTM device or auxiliary input, its precise location is displayed on the graphic map and a command is issued to the appropriate output(s).

 

REMOTE POLLING MODULE II (RPM II)

The Remote Polling Module II (RPM II) is an INTREPIDTM System Controller designed to provide network-based large or multi-site facilities with simplified high-level integration (via SDK) between a third-party control or monitoring systems and INTREPIDTM Series II sensors and auxiliary devices.

The RPM II is a self-contained hardware module with accompanying Software Development Kit (SDK) that eliminates the need for direct polling of each INTREPIDTM device by the third-party head-end system, reducing time, cost and complexity associated with interface development. The RPM II serves as Pollmaster - polling all INTREPIDTM Series II sensors and auxiliary devices connected to its communications port for status, and communicating this information to the third-party control or monitoring system via TCP/IP network connection.

 

CONTROL MODULE II-N (CM II-N)

The CM II-N is a System Controller designed to provide midsized facilities with robust local or remote control of INTREPIDTM Series II sensors, contact-closure auxiliary security devices and CCTV monitoring equipment. It is supplied as a self-contained, fully-hardened module and features intuitive, software-based system configuration, zone assignment and management. The CM II-N supports TCP/IP network connection to enable remote configuration and maintenance of Series II sensors.

The CM II-N functions as system Pollmaster - polling all INTREPIDTM devices connected to its Communications port for status. When an intrusion attempt is detected from any INTREPIDTM device or auxiliary input, a command is issued to the appropriate local relay output(s). The CM II-N also supports remote alarm monitoring via TCP/IP network connection using ROM II-16-N relay output modules.

RELAY CONTROL MODULE II (RCM II)

The Relay Control Module II (RCM II) is a fully-hardened INTREPIDTM System Controller designed to provide smaller facilities with cost-effective local control of INTREPIDTM Series II devices, contact-closure auxiliary security devices and CCTV equipment. The RCM II functions as system Pollmaster - polling all connected INTREPIDTM Series II devices connected to its Communications port for status. When an intrusion attempt is detected from any INTREPIDTM device or auxiliary input, a command is issued to the appropriate relay output(s).

 

PERIMETER SECURITY MANAGER II (PSM II)

Perimeter Security Manager II (PSM II) is an advanced, Windows®-based security monitoring and control software package designed to provide large or multi-site facilities with local or remote GUI-based alarm monitoring and control of INTREPIDTM Series II sensors and contact-closure auxiliary security devices. PSM II also facilitates high level interface to CCTV equipment, incorporating live video and multilayer graphic maps on a single display.

 

INTREPIDTM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KITS (SDK)

Two Software Development Kits (SDK) are available for high-level integration between INTREPIDTM Series II devices and custom monitoring and control applications. Depending on system design parameters, each provides a unique method for third-party systems to interface with INTREPIDTM Series II sensors and auxiliary devices.

INTREPID Polling Protocol II (IPP II) SDK: With this application-layer protocol, specific to serial line communications, each INTREPIDTM module is queried separately by the third-party control or monitoring application.

Remote Polling Module II (RPM II) SDK: With this application-layer protocol / hardware combination, specific to TCP/IP IPv4 socket communications, an RPM II System Controller is queried by the control or monitoring application. By eliminating the need for direct polling of each INTREPIDTM device by the head-end system, the RPM II SDK reduces interface development time, cost and complexity. Requires an RPM II System Controller, which handles polling of individual INTREPIDTM Series II sensors and auxiliary devices. Provides secondary relay output interface (128 zones).
