The Security Industry Association (SIA) released American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/SIA DC-09-2007 - SIA Digital Communication Standard - Internet Protocol Event Reporting.
This voluntary standard details the protocol to report events from premises equipment to a central station using Internet Protocol (IP).
Intended for use by manufacturers of control panels and central station receivers to ensure equipment compatibility, this standard also affects security system installers, specifiers and users of central stations and local authorities dealing with compatibility issues.
"Manufacturers recognized the growing demand for event reporting over IP," said Ted Nesse, vice president of Technology for Sequel Technologies and SIA standard project editor.
"This standard will broaden the extensibility of their products in an IP enabled environment."
More than a dozen manufacturers participated in the standard's development, according to the SIA. According to Richard Chace, executive director and CEO of the SIA, gaining industry buy-in was critical to the project’s success.
"The need for market relevant standards - by our industry for our industry - is a high priority for our members," said Chace. "This effort is just one example of how manufacturers can come together to advance industry objectives."
