Secure@Net
| Secure@Net Integrated Security Control Room Solution | |
|
Secure@Net is a significant add-on tool for any multi-site environments based on advance IP security technology. Secure@Net delivers central overview, control and alarm of all security devices including Network cameras, access controls and alarm sensors. With the increased security demands in today’s world, video surveillance can be a mission-critical operation that requires maximum up-time and total overview. Networked video systems include a variety of servers and devices that must be running properly in order to play their part in the overall security implementation, and the video paths from each camera across the infrastructure to the recording server contain numerous ‘points of failure’: if any of the devices fail to record or display the video, the outcome for the organization could be devastating. Secure@Net can help prevent this. It provides continuous monitoring of the operational status and event-triggered alarms from Milestone XProtect Enterprise servers, video surveillance cameras and external devices like access control units from different vendors. This powerful solution gives security operators instant graphical overview of alarms, and notification on technical problems with immediate visual verification so you can resolve issues fast. Secure@Net also provide a sophisticated matrix display system controlling information display on matrix monitors. System operators can ensure the display of live video from any surveillance camera is shown on any PC monitor on the network - instant transmission - without the need for costly hardware video matrix switches. One operator can also have multiple views of live video while recording. |
|
| Structure: | |
| Secure@Net is composed of 6 software modules which can work together seamlessly. | |
|
• Secure@Net Core Server (SCS) – SCS is comprised of core services and database. It control and synchronize operation of other modules based on its SQL database and global network services. It also controls automatic operations apply to rule bases. |
|
| Secure@Net Matrix Display | |
|
Secure@Net Matrix Display (SMD) can be installed on any machine in your organization or anywhere on the IP network, for automatic or manual distribution of live video, map and alarm to PCs where SMD is installed. The display of a camera at a given computer can be remote-controlled from another computer in two ways: pre-configured program or from a Secure@Net Security Workstation. You can set SMD to display camera views triggered by events or motion: multiple events can control a single monitor and single events can control multiple monitors. |
|
| Set up like a control room: | |
|
By running the SMD module on the screens of several PC, a functionality equivalent to Matrix and Spot Monitors in a Control Room is easily achieved – without requiring expensive matrix hardware such as those needed by an analog system. Whether the monitors are in your local control room or across the country, SMD can direct video camera streams with just a click of the mouse. SMD connects directly to the camera chosen, and can therefore achieve the higher frame rate than the cameras recording. SMD let users numbers monitors, cameras, views and sequences. Users can view video on monitors or PC panes in the same way as controlling a matrix switch. This functionality is supported using keyboards, providing an efficient and familiar control method to end users. |
|
| Combination with Alarm Monitoring: | |
|
The Secure@Net Matrix Display can be used in combination with Secure@Net Alarm Monitoring to enhance display capabilities especially for large control centers. Matrix monitor can be configured to show alarm status, map, and pop-up live video on the same screen. You can choose video from which camera to pop up on which screen when some events occur. |
|
| Feature highlights: | |
| • Control of large monitor banks with just one click of the mouse. • Connect to unlimited number of monitors, cameras and NVRs. • Ability to control remote monitors and force video stream to be displayed. • Ability to display map of site with interactive icon of security devices to help locate cameras and alarms. • Seamlessly integrate with Alarm & Health Monitoring to display events and corresponding pop-up video. • Display 1 - 25 video streams on the same screen with user defined views. • Ability to program each monitor to display views in sequence. • Ability to choose resolution and frame rate differ from recording video. • Support both MJPEG and MPEG-4 video. • Support up to 4 monitors per PC. • One-touch switching of multiple cameras to multiple display screens. All monitors in a control room are virtually a single monitor and users can define layout of it. • Open system using standard TCP/IP protocol. • Eliminates the need for multiple ports video matrix. • Eliminates the need for coaxial cabling. • Ideal for multiple control rooms and multi-level monitoring situations. |
|
| Secure@Net Alarm & Health Monitoring | |
|
Secure@Net Alarm & Health Monitor (SAM) provides audible and visual notification of alarms. These can be generated by devices such as PIRs attached to inputs on the IP camera or video server, by motion, by access control system, or when system failures such as video loss or NVR stop are detected. Users can view video from the associated camera, move to a preset position and acknowledge the alarm. Relays can be triggered automatically or manually when an alarm occurs, opening a door when a buzzer is pressed, for example. |
|
| Feature highlights: | |
| • Centralized overview and control of operational status and alarms from XProtect Enterprise servers, network cameras, and external devices like PIR and access control units allows operators to manage even large video surveillance installations. • Support unlimited number of XProtect Enterprise servers, network cameras, and external devices. • Hierarchical multi-level maps make it easy to navigate to and identify an incident’s location and the system entities that are involved. • Visual and audible alerting supports busy environments like alarm centrals. • Support Email alerting for remote security operators. • Instant access to servers and camera devices for visual verification ensures quick response. • To spread the workload and provide backup capacity, alarm management can be assigned to multiple simultaneous operators with individual operator rights. • The broad range of events available for triggering alarms allows customization to fit the requirements of each organization. • Full alarm management provides surveillance operators with the option to acknowledge or reassign alarms or to ‘snooze’ specific incidents in case of scheduled maintenance. • Integration with third party access control or intruder devices via XProtect Enterprise gives inter-operability for the most comprehensive overview of your security installation. • Client/Server based architecture uses UDP and TCP for data communication. • Incoming alarms and system information are logged centrally in the SQL database. • Comprehensive reports with filtering features allow users to search and analyze the whole security system. Users can search events by time, by a type of alarm or by a source of alarm. • Alarm preview makes users view the recording easily from the alarm list. |

| Secure@Net Security Workstation | |
|
Secure@Net Security Workstation (SSW) is a professional CCTV application with the power to view and control video over IP networks. SSW is an integrated client software that has capabilities of SMD and SAM inside plus functions to control network cameras and matrix monitors. SSW allows all users to display live camera output in up to 25 video panes, all at full frame rate (25×30 fps = 750fps) and on a hot-spot (full screen). If using a dual head monitor, users can view a hot-spot on the second monitor. SSW allows users to display a map of a site to help locate cameras and alarms. |

| Secure@Net System Administration | |
|
Secure@Net Administration allows administrators to manage XProtect servers, network cameras, alarm devices, sites, matrix monitors and users. In SSA, a site can include devices from many different geographical locations and networks. |
|
| Sites | |
|
Sites are set up by administrators, and define which network cameras and XProtect servers are available for operators to view. Administrators can group cameras into sub-sites to ease navigation of a large site. |
|
| Map | |
|
Maps provide a pictoral representation of site(s). Administrators can create any number of maps for a site, then position cameras and alarm sources on the map. |
|
| User Accounts and User Access | |
|
The Administrator user account provides access to all functions within Secure@Net. The administrator can set up any number of Operator user accounts, and can specify which sites and cameras each user can access, and which functions they can perform, for example, view only, or control PTZ cameras. |
|
| Alarm Sources and Outputs | |
|
Administrators can specify where sources alarms and output are, and the time period when alarm sources are active. |
