The Restricted Security Area Surveillance (RSA Surveillance) plugin integrates tracking systems into Security Center. A tracking system might use radars, lasers, heat sensors, and cameras to detect activity in restricted areas and on the perimeter of a property.

A tracking system for the RSA Surveillance plugin is a device or a system of devices used to monitor restricted areas to detect intrusions. There are two types of tracking systems. The first detects perimeter violations using sensors on the perimeter fence. The second detects foreign objects entering and moving through a restricted area using radar, lasers, cameras that have video analytics, and thermal sensors.

For more information on the tracking systems supported by the RSA Surveillance plugin, see Tracking System Compatibility for the Restricted Security Area Surveillance Plugin.

Administrator and operator tasks

You can use the plugin for the following:

  • Use the Genetec tracking system to show intruders (called targets) on RSA zones when native Security Center events and custom events are generated.
  • Track and monitor the speed and direction of targets in an RSA zone.
  • Trigger events and alarms when a target is detected.
  • Acknowledge targets to clear them from the map.
  • Add cameras to RSA zones so that the closest and best camera automatically follows targets.
  • Use the best cameras for tracking targets to monitor alarms triggered by RSA zone intrusions.
  • Watch live video from the closest camera so you never lose sight of a target.
  • Use the Mission Control to follow standard operating procedures when intruders are detected in RSA zones.
