appointed representatives requires additional CCTV
coverage over and above what is being specified by
Atkins.
Atkins proposes a secure integrated CCTV, Access
Control System (ACS), Audio Intercom & Intruder
Detection Systems (IDS) that will comprise state of the art
technology to provide a versatile and powerful means of
deterring and detecting criminal activity and anti-social
behaviour and preserve the general wellbeing of guests,
residents and staff throughout the assets 24 hours per
day.
Atkins assessment of typical areas to be monitored by
CCTV and associated ACS will include, but are not limited
to:
• Pick-up and drop-off points.
• All entrances and exits.
• Car parking areas and driveways.
• All points of egress for fire life safety evacuation
scenarios.
• Reception lobby, main lobby, entrance hall.

representatives are required to understand the key
management system for the development and which, if
any, type of doors are preferred to be managed with an
electronic card as opposed to the traditional mechanical
lock and key.
4.9 Alarm Reporting
When more than one alarm activation occurs, the graphic
will display simultaneously, the location of all alarms. The
individual alarm points will be indicated by a flashing
symbol representing the specific detector type.
All outstanding alarms will be held in a queue until the
system is reset. During the alarm handling procedure, the
alarm zone text, the priority level and current event status
will be available on the screen. If alarms are not resolved
inside a determined timeframe, the alarms will be notified
to the supervisor automatically.
In a multiple alarm situation, the operator will be able to
select any alarm by either its alarm icon or from the alarm
list.
All alarms should be able to be prioritised either
individually or by operator selection. The selection of the
alarm acceptance method will/can be a password
protected user option.
4.10 Intruder Detection System
An intruder detection system will be provided to monitor
specific locations for asset protection. Typical areas of
coverage will be communications equipment rooms, plant
rooms, back of house rooms / offices and other
designated areas yet to be agreed with the Client or their
appointed representatives.
The control panel will incorporate a battery backup facility
and will provide an Ethernet output which will enable full
integration with the Security Management System (SMS),
CCTV system and Access Control System (ACS). A
remote keypad will be situated in the SCR to enable
operation of the IDS in the unlikely event of an SMS,
network or total mains power failure.
Although the IDS control panel will be integrated with the
SMS, a remote keypad will be situated in the SCR to
enable continued operation of the IDS in the unlikely event
of an SMS or network failure.
Concealed magnetic door contacts, and break glass
detectors will be situated within designated rooms and
areas, where appropriate, to detect a person entering the
monitored area.
All cables will incorporate a 24 hour monitored tamper
circuit which will report any short or open circuit cables or
opened device/termination box covers.
