summary of changes
4. BS8418 2010 Review
Company
• Detection area should fall within the field of
view of the cameras
BS8418 • Dual technology detectors when facing
boundaries, adjoin roads, playgrounds, public
footpaths to reduce unwanted alarms
Digital • Detectors should be adjustable in both
horizontal and vertical axis
Future • Tamper circuits to detect e.g.
– Opening by normal means
– Removal from mounting
– Orientation adjustment
– Tamper circuits must be continuously monitored
8. BS8418 2010 Review
Company
• Now covers wireless & semi-wireless detectors
BS8418 • Low battery
• Loss of wireless signal
Digital • Individual identification of detector in these
conditions
• Consideration should be given to positioning
Future detectors facing away from the boundary
• Wireless detectors also offer a very good
solution to positioning detectors on the outside
of a perimeter
9. Conventional Wired vs Digital
Company
• 10 detector wired system: alarm,
tamper, anti-mask & power requires 4
BS8418
pairs per detector
• Potentially 16 terminations per detector
Digital
– 160 in total
Future • Wireless system: loss of signal, low
battery, tamper, alarm & anti-mask
minimum 5 pairs per detector
• 20 terminations per detector – 200 in
total
10. CP249 Digital Range
Company
• CP249 open protocol
BS8418 • Up to 32 detectors on 4 core cable
• RS485 bi-directional comms
Digital • Addressable detectors
• More alarm states possible: back & front
Future tampers, supply voltage & RF signal
strength
• Remote diagnostics, check settings,
make adjustments remotely
• Install time reduced – less site visits
12. Future Additions
Company
• V-Tect: video analytics and PIR
BS8418 Technology
