add-on
An add-on is a software package that adds tasks, tools, or
specific configuration settings to Security Center systems.
alarm
An alarm is a type of entity that describes a particular trouble
situation that requires immediate attention and how it can be handled in Security
Center. For example, an alarm can indicate which entities (usually cameras and doors)
best describe it, who must be notified, how it must be displayed to the user, and so
on.
AVL area entry and exit report
The AVL area entry and exit report is
a report in Security Center installed with the
AVL plugin that allows you to visually report vehicle metrics, such as how many times a
vehicle entered or exited a defined area over time.
AVL data offload status
The AVL data offload status is a
report in Security Center installed with the AVL
plugin that allows you to view the status of queued, in-progress and recently completed
data offload requests.
AVL data offload report
The AVL data offload report is a
report in Security Center installed with the AVL
plugin that allows you to view details on past AVL data offloads.
AVL data offloading
The AVL data offloading task is an
operation in Security Center installed with the
AVL plugin that allows you to offload data and video data from AVL units to an external
archiver.
AVL plugin
The Fleet Monitoring plugin integrates global
positioning system (GPS), accelerometer, and general-purpose input and output (GPIO)
sensors onboard vehicles into Security Center as
AVL entities. The plugin allows for integration of an LCD screen to monitor the status
of the system and cameras within the vehicle. Using the plugin, you can monitor your
vehicle location and offload data and video in Security Center.
AVL video offload status
The AVL video offload status is a
report in Security Center that allows you to
generate reports on the size of video offloaded from selected AVL units per four-hour
period.
entity
Entities are the basic building blocks of Security Center. Everything
that requires configuration is represented by an entity. An entity can represent a
physical device, such as a camera or a door, or an abstract concept, such as an alarm, a
schedule, a user, a role, a plugin, or an add-on.
event
An event indicates the occurrence of an activity or incident, such
as access denied to a cardholder or motion detected on a camera. Events are
automatically logged in Security Center. Every
event has an entity as its main focus, called the event source.
event-to-action
An event-to-action links an action to an event. For example, you
can configure Security Center to trigger an
alarm when a door is forced open.
expansion server
An expansion server is any server machine in a Security Center
system that does not host the Directory role. The purpose of the expansion server is to
add to the processing power of the system.
Federation™
The Federation™ feature
joins multiple, independent Genetec™ IP
security systems into a single virtual system. With this feature, users on the central
Security Center system can view and control entities that belong to remote
systems.
Maps
Maps is a type of operation task that heightens your situational
awareness by providing the context of a map to your security monitoring and control
activities.
offloading
Offloading is the process of transferring data and video data
from a vehicle system to a central system.
plugin
A plugin (in lowercase) is a software component that adds a
specific feature to an existing program. Depending on the context, plugin can refer
either to the software component itself or to the software package used to install the
software component.
Plugin
Plugin (with an uppercase, in singular) is the role
template that serves to create specific plugin roles.
plugin role
A plugin role adds optional features to Security Center. A plugin role is created by using
the Plugin role template. By default, it is represented by an orange puzzle piece
in the Roles view of the System task.
Before you can create a plugin role, the software
package specific to that role must be installed on your system.
Plugins
The Plugins task is an administration
task that allows you to configure plugin-specific roles and related
entities.
role
A role is a software component that performs a specific job within
Security Center. To execute a role, you must assign one or more servers to host
it.
Service Release
A Service Release (SR) is a standalone release that
includes minor functionality improvements, bug fixes, and the integration of new
hardware, intrusion devices, and plugins.
