Symmetry™ Graphical Map Interface
Monitor, Locate and Control Devices from Maps
The Symmetry™ Graphical Map Interface enables devices such as readers, doors, cameras,
intrusion areas
and sensors to be easily monitored, located and controlled from graphical maps or floor plans.
Maps show the current status of each device, including alarm conditions. Since it
is easy to locate an alarm from a map, the appropriate personnel can be dispatched
quickly, leading to improved site security and efficiency.
Maps can contain links to other maps, enabling an operator to locate an alarm or
device with increasing accuracy. To make response times even quicker, a map can
be set up to be displayed automatically when an alarm occurs.
Maps also allow an operator to control devices, such as to grant access through
a selected door, or switch a video camera to a specified monitor. The range of options
is dependent on the device selected, which makes the system easy to use and understand.
Maps provide a highly-graphical interface for monitoring and controlling the security
management system. The simplicity and intuitive interface enables personnel to obtain
the benefits of using maps with minimal previous knowledge.
