Centralised alarm management has become a necessity for ensuring security or detecting malfunctions in installations, whether in industrial or commercial buildings. By centralising security systems, companies can group all alarms together in a single HMI for greater responsiveness.
Key points to remember
- Interfacing with all security systems gives a global view of alarms.
- Centralising alarms optimises maintenance operations by automatically triggering requests and improving team responsiveness.
Grouping together safety systems
By centralising systems, various security devices such as CCTV, Intercom, intrusion detection, fire alarms and access control can be integrated into a single interface. This provides a global view of alarms and enables better detection of potential threats.
- Global view in real time: complete visibility of the operating and safety status of installations means you can react quickly in the event of an incident, enhancing the safety of people and property.
- Detection of potential threats: Analysis of the data collected by the various security systems enables suspicious behaviour to be identified, facilitating proactive intervention.
- Malfunction management : Centralisation also enables rapid detection of security system malfunctions. In the event of a fault or anomaly, an alert is immediately triggered, enabling rapid intervention to resolve the problem and minimise risks.
On-call and alarm management
Centralised alarm management means that the right people are automatically alerted to maintenance work on the right installations, optimising maintenance operations.
- Real-time alerts: Instant alerts enable a rapid and effective response to incidents. Security staff receive notifications and can take the necessary action without delay.
- Optimisation of maintenance operations: centralising alarms means maintenance operations can be better contextualised, improving team efficiency.
Combined general surveillance
Centralised monitoring allows a single supervisor to manage multiple facilities, improving the efficiency and coordination of security operations.
- Improved fire safety: centralised management of fire safety systems enables effective coordination of devices such as fire doors, smoke extraction systems and sprinklers. This approach helps to control and limit the spread of fire while facilitating rescue and evacuation operations.
- Manage systems across multiple sites: Centralisation provides better visibility and monitoring of critical systems across multiple sites, simplifying management and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Interacting on the installation
Centralised management means you can intervene quickly to limit damage.
- Centralised access management: Bringing together all access authorisations, digital locks and identification media in a single interface makes it easier to manage access and improve facility security.
- Centralised access authorisations: Defining access authorisations for groups of people based on predefined locations and times means greater flexibility and responsiveness.
- Digital locks: Digital locking systems offer a more secure and convenient solution than mechanical keys, with programmable access rights and real-time monitoring.
By choosing modular, expandable systems such as the Panorama E2 security package, you can ensure ongoing adaptability and customisation to meet the changing needs of your establishment.
Centralised alarm management offers many advantages for the safety and security of your facilities. It enables real-time monitoring and in-depth analysis of data from various security systems, so you can react more quickly to potential threats. It also makes it easier to manage access and interventions, while optimising costs by centralising resources. By adopting this approach, businesses can not only strengthen the security of their infrastructures, but also improve the operational efficiency of their maintenance and security teams.
