SMS security
May 1st 2008

The new building management system (BMS) installed at Chevron's new headquarters in Aberdeen, is able to contact security staff, anywhere on site, to immediately advise of critical alarms. The BMS, supplied by Priva Building Intelligence and installed by Campbell Control Services, uses SMS (Short Messaging Service) to contact security staff, via their mobile phones, while they patrol the site.

The Priva BMS; six Compri HX4, two Compri HX3 and two Compri HX8E controllers, report to a nominated PC in facilities management. When premises are vacated the alarm reporting procedure is switched to the security staffs' mobile phones.
