Creating RSA zones in Security Center - Restricted Security Area Surveillance 4.2

RSA zones are created to define the boundaries of a restricted area. When a tracking system reports an intrusion, the RSA Surveillance plugin only reports the events that match the coordinates of an armed RSA zone.

1. From the Config Tool home page, open the Plugins task.
2. Select the Restricted Security Area Surveillance role, and then click the Zones tab.
3. Click Add zone ().
   The Add zone wizard opens.
4. On the Zones page, select Create, and enter a name for the RSA zone.
5. Select the Type:

   Horizontal

   A horizontal RSA zone is represented as a colored shape on a georeferenced Security Center map.

   Vertical

   A vertical RSA zone is represented as a colored shape on an image map to add context to the location of detected intrusions.

   Vertical RSA zones are only used with tracking systems that support vertical mode.

6. Leave the Coverage zone option off if you want to arm and disarm the RSA zone, and see event notification bubbles on the map when intrusions occur in the RSA zone.
   NOTE: If you turn on the option, the Schedules and Arm/disarm pages disappear from the wizard.
7. Click Next page ().
8. On the cameras page, click Add camera ().
   The Select cameras dialog box opens.
9. Select the cameras that have a view on the restricted area the RSA zone represents, and then click OK.
10. If you have multiple cameras, click or to set up the camera priority list.
    The system uses the cameras defined in this list to track targets that enter this RSA zone when auto-tracking is enabled. If no camera in the list can see the target according to their field of view (FoV) defined on the map, the first camera in the list is displayed.
11. For vertical RSA zones, configure the camera overlays.
12. If you want Security Center to show live video of a moving target the moment it enters this RSA zone, turn on the Auto-tracking option.
    If you turn this option on, you must turn off the native auto-tracking feature on your tracking systems if you are importing cameras from the latter.
13. Click Next page ().
14. (Optional) On the Schedules page, click Add schedule (), select one or more schedules to use for arming and disarming this RSA zone, click OK, and then click Next page ().
    The system automatically arms and disarms the zone according to schedules. If no schedule is assigned, you can still arm and disarm the zone manually.
15. On the Intrusions page, configure the following:

    Threats

    Add or remove threat categories that you want the intrusion detection algorithm to ignore. Targets that belong to the listed categories are not displayed on the map, and do not generate events when entering this RSA zone.

    Classifications

    Add or remove the target types that you want the intrusion detection algorithm to ignore. Targets that match a listed type are not displayed on the map, and do not generate events when entering this RSA zone.

    Alarm on intrusion

    Select the alarm that you want to trigger when an intrusion is detected. The alarm selected for this RSA zone replaces the Default alarm on intrusion on the Zones page.

16. Click Next page ().
17. (Optional) On the Arm/disarm page, select events to trigger the RSA zone to be armed and disarmed, and the source entity of those events.
18. Click Finish, and then click Apply.
    The new RSA zone is displayed in the list of zones.
19. Define the RSA zone on the map.
20. When using the RSA Surveillance plugin with Security Center 5.9.3.0 or later, restart the plugin to see the changes.
