Software

The operating software allows easy monitoring and control of the whole RSS system and consists of two separate programs:

Planner Design Program

The program is used to set the parameters of the system and to create the visualization graphic plans. By dragging symbols to the background plan with the mouse it is easy to locate graphic symbols of system components (detectors, SMD modules, etc.) and mark protected zones. The background plan may consist of a building ground plan, an air photograph or photograph of a building. The program supports the import of maps and objects in the BMP and WMF (easy import directly from CAD programs) formats.

Monitoring and Control program

When a visualization graphic plan has been confi gured in the Planner program, the whole system is monitored and controlled through the RgsView program. It is possible to activate and deactivate protection of areas or bypass detectors simply and intuitively. The program graphically displays detectors and areas secured by them as well as their basic status (active, inactive, intrusion and failure). A security incident in a protected area or tampering with the protection of a module is indicated in an alarm window with acoustic signalling and with the corresponding graphic symbol in the background plan. Operational problems such as a low voltage battery, technical failure of a detector, loss of radio signal or disturbance of the operating frequency are indicated in a similar way. All security incidents are displayed in a separate window to be handled by the operator. In the visualization plan it is possible to display several background plans, but only one at any time. Depending on the location of the intrusion the system will only display the relevant photograph or drawing. Background plans and objects can be smoothly zoomed IN and OUT and displayed according to the operators current needs. All events on the system, together with the time of their occurrence are recorded in the event log, which allows the operator to fi nd the desired event with the use of fi lters, to export data to a fi le, to print data, etc.
