ALPHA SENTRY ONE | Building Protection Systems, Inc. (BPSI)

General Description
The Alpha Sentry One (ASO) is a U.S. Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act Designated technology installed to monitor terrorist concerns of smaller venues such as a Commercial Office Building lobbies, perimeter protection and schools. Using the same sensory technology as the larger Building Sentry One, the ASO is limited to (2) or (4) sensors. If a toxin is detected, the ASO enacts a sequence of predetermined alerts and mechanical protocols to isolate toxins thus preventing continued distribution to prevent loss of life, preserve assets, and to provide an early warning system for first responders in the event of a targeted terrorist attack using chemical or radiological materials or an accidental release. The ASO is installed as an all-in-one full backbone system and can integrate directly into an existing Building Management System (BMS) or security command center. The ASO detects a defined spectrum of chemical contaminants and a wide library of radiological isotopes with sensitivity levels customized for each specific toxin. The ASO has been designed in modular fashion for a quick deployment with easy installation. No known similar systems exist. The Alpha Sentry One is a fully functioning “Next Generation” detection system that can integrate sensory technology into just about any market ready project. With embedded controls, logic, software, mechanical protocols and remote monitoring coupled with multiple security means, this system is designed to operate 24/7/365 in the absence of false positive readings.

Technical Description
BPSI’s Alpha Sentry One (ASO) is a COTS based system that detects a defined spectrum of toxic compounds and a 120+ library of radiological isotopes for smaller applications such as: perimeter protection, schools or building lobbies on a continuous 24/7/365 basis with virtually zero false positive alarms. Through the integration of programmable logic controllers and sensor arrays, linked to a PC infrastructure with multi-layer communications protocols, the Alpha Sentry One solution offers a dynamic set of customized security measures. The ASO’s architecture mesh simply and easily with existing systems, in a seamless process that gives the end user superior detection protection.
