Proprietary Station. This system is similar to a central station operation,
except that ESS monitoring or recording equipment for all ESS at the installation is
located within a constantly-staffed Dispatch Center on an owner's property. Proprietary
stations are prominent throughout DoD installations where Dispatch Centers are owned,
maintained, and staffed by DoD personnel, who comprise the response force. The
installation security force responds to all ESS alarms. As a basic configuration, the
Dispatch Center may be centrally located at an installation. Two possible configurations
of a Proprietary Station Dispatch Center are shown in Figure 2-12: a Dispatch Center
centrally located at a base and an alternative configuration is a detached Regional
Dispatch Center (RDC).
