DC-09-2021 | SIA DCS-Internet Protocol Event Reporting

Scope and Benefits

This standard details the protocol and related details to report events from premises equipment to a central station using internet protocol (IP) to carry the event content. It is important to distinguish that, while this reporting method uses the SIA Receiver-to-Computer Interface Protocol as a foundation, it is intended for event transport from protected premises to a central station – possibly using the public internet.

This standard is intended for use by manufacturers of control panels and central station receivers to ensure equipment compatibility, as well as all affected parties. Compliance with this standard is voluntary.
