Environmental Requirements
The equipment room should meet the following environmental specification:
• Temperature: 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F) - standard Presidium
• Temperature: 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F) - Presidium Mini
• Humidity: less than 90% non-condensing
Power Supply
Depending upon security requirements, a backup power supply (such as a UPS) should be
considered. To ensure total system reliability in the event of power failure, a backup supply would
also need to provide power for all the cameras and other detectors, as well as any
communications equipment. Refer to
Power Connection on page 32 for details on power
consumption, and the manuals for respective equipment for their power consumption details.
Access Requirements
Access to Presidium equipment should be limited to authorised personnel. An access control
system may be used to limit access.
Equipment Mounting
Presidium is compatible with 19" racking systems. To ensure proper cooling, ideally allow
spacing equivalent to 1U between different equipment in the racking. Consider providing cooling
within the rack if the rack has a significant amount of equipment.
Presidium Mini is housed in a desktop/wall mount enclosure. To ensure proper cooling, the
enclosure must be location where it is clear of other heat generating equipment (for example,
computers, printers. photocopiers, generators etc). Do not place the enclosure in a position
where it will be subject to strong or continuous sunlight.
Monitoring Equipment
A standard Presidium system may be remotely monitored through a FastTrace / FastTx/
FastTrace-R and VideoCentral.
Refer to the Central Monitoring Station Design Guide for details of selection, configuration,
operation and maintenance of the remote monitoring station equipment.
Communications Infrastructure
For remote monitoring to be used with ADPRO products, suitable communications infrastructure
must be provided. There is a range of communications media choices available for use, such as
PSTN, ISDN, ADSL, microwave or RF. The type of communications link is dependent upon a
number of criteria:
1. Existing infrastructure : To provide a cost effective solution, consider using any existing
communications infrastructure at the site, subject to it meeting required bandwidth and
other operational requirements.
2. Backup communications : Under some circumstance, a secondary communications link
may be required if the primary method is negated.
3. Availability : Consider the availability of different telecommunications options, as not all
telecommunication solutions will be provided by a single provider, or site requirements
might exclude certain types of communications.
4. Installation and operational cost : The installation and operational cost are a major factor
in deciding the type of communications infrastructure selected. The cost is generally linked
to the bandwidth provided on the link.
5. Bandwidth requirements : The expectation of bandwidth, which ultimately drives how
quickly video information can be transmitted, is extremely important to ascertain. Links with
throughput of 9600 baud right through to 2 mega baud are available. ADPRO video
