Specifications include, but are not limited to: The South Carolina Department of Corrections intends to Sole Source Elpas for the provision of the RTLS Man - Down Duress System. The RTLS System is a combined hardware and software solution delivering wireless monitoring/tracking of prison guards facilitating faster response time during emergencies in the inmate population. The RTLS System contains a Software Development Kit for the development of interfaces to external building and security systems. Including a Web Services based interface to enable simple integration by developers and to access and update database events and objects. Interfaces with Intrusion, CCTV, Access Control and Patient Call Systems This system will support local devices that continue to annunciate duress(man-down) alerts during network or server outages. The system uses Controller Based Alerts for Man-Down, Trouble events for any device connected to its RS-485 BUS (subnet) such as Device Tamper (and Restore), Low Voltage (and Restore), Communication (crc) errors (and Restore), Bus Capacity Exceeded, Antenna Removed (and Restore), Server Communication Failure (and Restore). The system will support wireless temperature monitoring by utilizing the same 433 MHz Radio Frequency Infrastructure to monitor temperature and annunciate out of range alerts for Refrigerators, Food Pantries, Medicine Cabinets as well as ambient temperature in housing units, server rooms, etc. The system supports wireless temperature monitoring by utilizing the same 433 MHz Radio Frequency Infrastructure to monitor temperature and annunciate out of range alerts for Refrigerators, Food Pantries, Medicine Cabinets as well as ambient temperature in housing units, server rooms, etc. The system must reliably provide location and distinguish between indoor, outdoor and separate floors. There is no other system that can support all of these features on the same platform. While companies that use disparate systems can achieve some of the outcomes but are not able to do it all from one system. The key is ability it to do it all at that level from one hardware/software platform. The RTLS System contains a Software Development Kit for the development of interfaces to external building and security systems. Including a Web Services based interface to enable simple integration by developers and to access and update database events and objects.
