Security network interface for alarm systems

Abstract

Authors suggested the development of a specialized network interface for network of detectors that are part of alarm system. Providing a high level of network security against intruder is achieved using a large number of security elements and their dynamic change in on-line mode network operation. The proposed system uses traditional detectors: each is connected to the network through node based on a microcontroller. This allows connection of traditional detectors into two-wired network with common bus type and to reduce the number of wired lines without loss of system informative channels. An additional advantage is in powering sensors by a server via informational network channel. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
