Integrated Monitoring System For Nurseries Work scope The work should cover all development activities that are needed to design, supply, assemble, and install a complete system working at a premises allocated by the customer. System objectives The main objective of the system is to assist nursery’s staff in monitoring and locating children at nursery premises electronically and visually using integrated RFID tagging, video monitoring and access control systems. In case of risky situation, an alarm should be initiated and a near by video camera might be triggered to alert caring staff. A unique identification code should be given to each child, staff or parent. The system should recognise between each different tag holder, and able to read multi-tags in one time. System should alert in case of unused tags or tamper. The monitored zone should cover all areas within the premises of the nursery. Digital event recording and play back facilities should be included in the system. The system should be able to control all access points and handle emergency situation in case of fire or building evacuation. All doors were electronically locked, with the children and staff wearing tags to enable them to pass through certain doors. The possible application scenarios are basically involving all sorts of children activity areas, access points, hazardous spots, children data, authorized personnel, alarming, events recoding, and communications. The central computer gathers information from each RFID reader within the system, and implements a special tracking software to survey, manage, record, and analyse as well as to set up rules specifying when and how notifications of certain events occurring should be sent. Children information and movement can be viewed on screen. Alarming can be set to take different forms for different locations. General specifications Integrated RFID, video monitoring, and access control in one system Reading multiple tags (person) in the same reader field, at the same time Automatic children/ staff/visitor recognition Contactless read and write functions Software recognition of unused tags Variable tag’s memory size Tag programming facilities Up to 16 wire or wireless video camera can be connected to the system Digital event recording and play back Large data storing capacity Children data base management and Automatic control on all doors Local and remote alarm via network Anti tamper alarm Different level of passwords Networking capabilities Simple operation and use Fully customisable Possibility of future expansion System Structure The design of the system should lead to a modular structure to assure future expansion, easy maintenance, and simple operation. A wire or wireless communication links can be used between the different components to achieve system integrity and flexibility.
