Network Enterprise Alarm Monitoring System Solution
With the development of the economy, there has been a significant increase in the number and scale of enterprises. In enterprises, cases such as fires, explosions, and theft often occur, causing significant casualties and property losses. The construction of a modern network enterprise alarm monitoring system can effectively reduce the occurrence of accidents, thereby achieving preventive measures.
1 Current situation of enterprise security system construction
A survey organization has conducted research on traditional manufacturing, IT manufacturing, mining enterprises, etc., and found that the most enterprise security systems are relatively simple, while only a few large enterprises are more complete. Overall, the most existing enterprise security systems have the following characteristics:
(1) The application is relatively simple
Most enterprises have built basic video surveillance and intrusion alarm systems. Some enterprises still uses analog cameras, which have poor image clarity and effectiveness. The cameras are mainly installed in the finance room, warehouse, enterprise fence, plant entrance, workshop, production line and so on. The intrusion alarm points are mainly in the financial room, warehouse, fence and other areas, and there are not many cases in which the intrusion alarm and video surveillance can be linked. Perimeter prevention systems using infrared beam are often misreported due to factors such as tree growth occlusion, rain and snow weather, and the actual application effect is greatly reduced.
(2) The application level is greatly different
Some enterprises generally have relatively perfect security system construction, and the application level is relatively high. Some enterprises have even installed security doors, X-ray security machines. In some enterprises, the construction of security systems started late, the investment in security system construction was low, and the maintenance was not good.
(3) The trend of demand differentiation is obvious
The security needs of enterprises in different industries vary greatly, such as: power plant monitoring system, which requires cameras to be dust-proof and explosion-proof, and resist strong electromagnetic field interference; steel plant monitoring system requires cameras to withstand high temperature and harsh industrial environments. For the characteristics of enterprises in different industries, there will be different differentiated designs in terms of equipment options and security system integration, so as to meet the needs of the actual application environment and achieve the purpose of scientific management.
(4) With the expansion of enterprise scale, security demand is increasing
Due to the relative lag in the construction of security systems in some enterprises, there are increasing safety hazards. With the expansion of the scale of enterprises, most enterprises pay more attention to security management, and the construction demand for intrusion alarm system and video surveillance systems is also rising.
2 The purpose of building a security system for enterprises
By building an enterprise security system, the following goals can be achieved:
- Strengthen the supervision of personnel entering and exiting.
- Through the perimeter prevention system and intrusion alarm system, intruders can be detected in a timely manner, preventing and reducing the occurrence of theft cases.
- Through video monitoring of the workshop and production line, it is possible to promptly and intuitively understand the production situation.
- Video monitoring of hazardous work areas can prevent and reduce the occurrence of personal injury accidents.
3 Composition of the Enterprise Security System
A relatively complete enterprise security system should meet the needs of modern management, effectively prevent the perimeter of the enterprise, and enable 24-hour video monitoring of key areas. In addition, it is also necessary to implement intrusion alarms. Key entrances and exits are equipped with access system, and electronic patrol systems are used to achieve a combination of civil defense and technical defense. Enterprises with a large number of vehicles manage vehicle access and parking through parking management systems. An enterprise security system typically consists of the following components: intrusion alarm system, video surveillance system, access system, electronic patrol system, parking management system, etc.
(1) Intrusion alarm system
The intrusion alarm system alerts security personnel to illegal intrusion situations. The intrusion alarm system deploys alarm detectors distributed in the factory area to protect the perimeter and important areas of the factory area, achieving illegal intrusion detection. Once an illegal intrusion occurs in the monitoring area, the alarm detector immediately sends an alarm signal to the alarm monitoring center.
(2) Video surveillance system
The video surveillance system of the enterprise mainly realizes online video monitoring of main entrances and exits, key areas (such as warehouses, finance rooms), workshops, and production lines. Important areas are continuously recorded 24 hours a day to prevent accidents and cases from occurring, and can be analyzed for causes and located for evidence afterwards.
(3) Access system
The access system in the enterprise area controls the entry and exit of personnel through card readers and electromagnetic locks, recording the entry and exit of personnel in sensitive areas. At the same time, it can combine the enterprise attendance system, consumption system, parking management system, etc. to achieve the enterprise’s one card function.
(4) Electronic patrol system
The electronic patrol system establishes patrol points on key roads, important computer rooms, warehouses, finance rooms, and other key areas of the enterprise. Security personnel conduct patrols according to the designed route within a specific time, achieving a combination of civil defense and technical defense in enterprise security. The system is divided into two modes: offline and online. The offline mode does not require wiring to the alarm monitoring center, making it easy to install and the system has good scalability, but the real-time security is not high. The online mode, directly connected to the alarm monitoring center through patrol points, can display the identity information, geographical location, etc. of patrol personnel in real-time.
(5) Parking management system
The parking management system can achieve orderly management of vehicle access and parking, including internal vehicle management for enterprises and temporary vehicle management for external visitors. Implement functions such as recording, controlling, timing, and charging vehicles entering and exiting through the system.
(This solution mainly introduces the most important intrusion alarm system and video surveillance system in the enterprise security system.)
4 Configuration of network enterprise alarm monitoring system
At present, headquarter and production areas of larger enterprises are generally separated, especially for some large multinational or cross regional enterprises, which increases the difficulty of enterprise security management. Enterprises must do a good job in security management of headquarter and production areas, especially in production areas. Most of the factories of the enterprises for production are located in the suburbs, and when there are few daytime or nighttime activities around the factories, it is easy for criminals to enter the factory area through the fence to commit crimes.
In order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises, it is necessary to have a set of specialized safety equipment and operators to maintain and manage the property safety of the enterprise from any infringement. Enterprises can establish a network alarm monitoring system to effectively manage their security work.
(1) Establish a network enterprise alarm monitoring center management platform
1) It is necessary to establish a network enterprise alarm monitoring center management platform, use network enterprise alarm monitoring system to achieve effective security management of the entire enterprise.
2) The network enterprise alarm monitoring system mainly consists of three parts: the network alarm center management software, intrusion alarm system, and video surveillance system.
The network alarm center management software organically combines intrusion alarm systems and video surveillance systems to achieve integrated management and system linkage. When an intrusion alarm occurs, the network alarm center management software can link cameras to monitor the alarm area.

(2) Enterprise sets up enterprise alarm monitoring center
1) Through the internal network or internet of the enterprise, the alarm monitoring systems of various direct departments and factories are connected to the enterprise alarm monitoring center, enabling the enterprise alarm monitoring center to understand the real-time situation of various places.
2) In the event of an emergency, the enterprise alarm monitoring center can allocate security personnel based on the local situation, and promptly and effectively handle the emergency situation.
3) The enterprise alarm monitoring center can be directly responsible for the security management of each directly affiliated department. Refer to the following alarm monitoring centers in each factory area to carry out security management for each directly affiliated department.
(3) Set up alarm monitoring centers in each factory area
1) Install electric security fences or beam sensor on the surrounding walls of the factory area, and install a video surveillance system. Through the network alarm center management software, the electric security fence or beam sensor defense area is linked with the video, forming effective protection for the enterprise perimeter.
(Please refer to: Network Perimeter Alarm System Solution)
2) Install alarm detectors at key locations or areas such as building entrances and exits, corridors, office entrances and exits, and windows in the factory area, and install video surveillance systems. Through the network alarm center management software, the detector defense area is linked with the video, forming effective protection for the internal environment of the enterprise.
3) Install panic buttons and video surveillance as alarm points around the factory walls, key entrances and exits, and important offices (such as archives, finance, and manager’s offices). When an emergency occurs, staff can trigger the panic button to alert the enterprise alarm monitoring center. The enterprise alarm monitoring center can understand the real-time situation of the alarm scene through the linked video surveillance system.
4) Install sirens around the factory area, outside buildings, corridors, and inside offices. If an intrusion alarm occurs, the siren will immediately activate and make a loud sound. Thieves are all very guilty. When they hear such a loud siren sound, they will run away. Even if the duty personnel of the factory alarm monitoring center doze off late at night, they will immediately wake up and deal with it immediately.
5) The alarm control panel is installed in the factory alarm monitoring center and managed by personnel. When an alarm is triggered, the alarm control panel will display the alarm zone, which indicates that someone has invaded in that direction. Therefore, the factory alarm monitoring center must have someone on duty 24 hours a day to quickly handle the alarm situation.
6) Install video surveillance system in workshops, production lines, warehouses, and other key areas to real-time understand the production status of the enterprise.
If the enterprise is not large in scale, an alarm monitoring center can fully achieve the above functions.
5 Conclusion
With the rapid development of modern enterprises and the improvement of people’s economic living standards, both enterprises and citizens are paying more and more attention to property and personal safety, which is a continuous process of development. Modern enterprises have evolved from setting up intrusion alarm systems and video surveillance system to building network enterprise alarm monitoring systems, supplemented by management systems such as access, patrol, and parking. This has reduced management personnel and costs, improved management efficiency, and provided support for the sustained and healthy operation of enterprises.
