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.
