 ELV Defined
IEC defines Extra Low Voltage (ELV) as any system operating in a
voltage not exceeding 50V ac (or 120V ripple free dc). ELV system
in a building is a wide range of services, including:
ICT (IT, Internet, UC) services
Electronic Safety And Security (Video Surveillance, Access Control,
Intrusion Detection, Fire Detection & Alarm, Voice Alarm, Watchman Tour
Systems, etc) Systems (ESSS)
Notification & Entertainment (Public Address System, Display, TV (IP-TV,
SMATV) Systems
Building Monitoring/Management/Automation Systems (BMS & BAS) for
ESSS, environmental conditioning systems such as heating, ventilation, and
air conditioning (HVAC), and internal and external lighting.
 The Needs And Advantages Of
Integration
Access to technologies and solutions that otherwise would not have been possible or
would have been limited in scope
Integration will allow convergence which can encompass a range of capabilities, from limited
monitoring to full command and control functions across a common IP-based network. Some of the
most common types of convergence are:
Multimedia (voice, video, text) real time collaboration within and across entities scattered all over the world
and beyond, as in IP telephony, Unified Communications and Tele presence
Interconnection of CCTV and Access Control systems for events tracking
Interconnection of PAS as a the voice alarm system to Fire Detection and Alarm system
Integration of BMS system for services ranging from basic monitoring and reporting of the various ESS systems
to intelligent management of them all.
Intelligence and analytics leveraging on the output of data, voice, surveillance video, and access
control, instruction detection, fire alarm systems, etc.
Cloud Usage to Manage Costs and Risk
Cost
Substantial savings is made when resources are shared by the different systems
Ease of Operations and Maintenance
Manageability and Serviceability
Modularity make Add and Replace
Simplified
 The Enablers Industry Standards
While there are many proprietary communications protocol and standards with
different vendors promising integration and interoperability it is better to stick
as much as possible to industry standards like:
The Standard Technology/System
ANSI/TIA568C Series and ISO 11801 Twisted pair and optical transport
ANSI/TIA862A Building Automation Systems Cabling
Standard for Commercial Buildings
ANSI/TIA1005A Industrial automation
ONVIF Video surveillance and access control
IEEE 802.3at, IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3bt Power over Ethernet
Power over Ethernet
IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN, Wi-Fi, mesh
IEEE 802.15 Wireless PAN, ZigBee, mesh
 ANSI/TIA862A: Backbone
Hierarchical Star Topology
Recognized media
100 ohm balanced twisted pair (UTP)
Multimode optical fiber
Single-mode fiber
 IEEE 802.3at, IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3bt
Power over Ethernet (POE) up to 30W over twisted pair using 802.3at and
af compliant equipments are everywhere IP camera, Door Access
Control readers and controllers, IP Communications Endpoints, WLAN AP,
etc

IEEE 802.3bt IEEE Standard for Applications requiring over 30W is under
development. These include all range of equipment from Nurse call
systems, POS, Thin clients, virtual desktop to Videoconferencing
Endpoints.
The Enabler: IP on Everything
 The Enabler: IP on Everything

The Internet protocol suite is the computer networking model and

set of communications protocols used on the Internet and similar
computer networks. It is commonly known as TCP/IP, because its
most important protocols, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
and the Internet Protocol (IP), were the first networking protocols
defined in this standard.
Running Over Ethernet (wired or wireless) protocol.
TCP/IP (Internet Protocol suite) is the primary network protocol
used on the Internet. The Internet has not only affected every
business and IT department, but it changed global communications.
IP is not only the protocol of the Internet; it became the default
protocol for local networks in every company, as well as the home.

 Steps to Full Integration: Organisation-
Wide Standardisation on Manufacturer
While not advocating one single vendor/manufacturer for
all components, an organization is better off choosing
limited no of vendors for different components
Standardization will ease Integration and Convergence of
different components (CCTV, Access Control, PA, Fire Alarm,
etc) together. It will enable Integration and Convergence
between the branches and head office
Closer relationship with the manufacturers which will
ensure maximum corporate discount and extended, more
encompassing, warranty and technical support of the
system
