High-security modular monitoring and alarm centre and operating method therefor

Abstract

Abstract 1. High-security modular monitoring and alarm centre, notably for the automatic control of an installation or of an alarm in response to an intrusion, a danger and/or a pre-programmed order, of the type comprising a memory for recording monitoring-parameters, at least one monitoring- and/or alarm- sensor providing information concerning the state of a monitoring zone, means for emitting a control- and/or alarm-signal, actuated by a central processor in dependence upon the said recorded monitoring-parameters and on the basis of the data provided by the said sensors, the said centre furthermore comprising means for programming, by the user, of the said monitoring-parameters contained in the said memory, in accordance with a step-by-step and interactive guiding process of the user, and a unit for the reconstitution of words, co-operating on the one hand with the means for emission of the alarm signal, for associating a vocal alarm message with each signal, and of the other hand with the said programming means, for ensuring the user's guiding by vocal guiding message, characterised in that the means for programming of the said monitoring-parameters comprise an independent and portable housing (4) for remote control and for fine-tuned tele-programming, comprising a keyboard for dialling control- and programming- orders, a system for transmitting/receiving by means of electromagnetic and/or luminous and/or sound waves, for the communication between the said housing (4) and the principal assembly (1) of the centre, and a loudspeaker delivering the vocal guiding-messages originating from the principal assembly (1) of the centre.
