Rules-based Security Process Automation
Vigilos ESM Software enables automation of many common security processes that are typically performed by human operators. Users can easily create rules to automatically execute a wide range of tasks, including:
| |
|
 |
Identifying circumstances that represent elevated-risk
|
|
Prioritizing alarm events based on pre-determined criteria
|
|
Notifying multiple personnel, including off-site individuals or even law enforcement
|
|
Steering multiple PTZ cameras to areas of interest
|
|
Locking or unlocking doors
|
|
Temporarily disarming alarm systems
|
|
Notifying technicians that a sensor battery is low
|
|
Identifying virtually any combination of circumstances, triggering actions by one or more controlled devices, and notifying unlimited numbers of individuals via a wide range of communications methods.
|
Vigilos ESM Rules:
Vigilos users define all aspects of their rules:
|
Inputs The software constantly evaluates single or combination inputs from any attached device in real-time.
|
Triggers Users define what inputs will trigger rule notifications and actions.
|
Severity Users choose the severity of the event, so the most severe events are prioritized.
|
|
Linked Video Each event displays links to recorded and live video from any cameras in the area.
|
Notifications Notifications and escalations are automatic, according to the pre-defined procedure.
|
Actions Vigilos software can even trigger automated responses such as locking doors or disarming an alarm point, as defined by the user.
|
Users can easily create, add and modify rules "on the fly", without affecting the operating status of the Vigilos ESM system. All data from any attached system is evaluated in real-time against these user-defined rules. The rules define and categorize security information, escalating the status of certain activity to an "event," or incident. When an event occurs, the Vigilos software executes specific user-defined actions, and notifies assigned staff via phone, e-mail, pager or wireless device. Event information remains in the system for further evaluation, and each event has links to recorded and live video from any cameras that are associated with the trigger devices.
Of course, an audit trail of all user actions taken in response to events is captured, and several reporting options are built in.
