add-on
An add-on is a software package that adds tasks, tools, or
specific configuration settings to Security Center systems.
alarm
An alarm entity describes a particular type of 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 the situation, 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
task is an investigation task installed with the Security Center Fleet Monitoring plugin. Use this task to visually
report vehicle metrics, such as how many times a vehicle entered or exited a defined
area over time.
AVL data offload
The AVL data offload task is an
operation task installed with the Security Center Fleet Monitoring plugin. Use this task to offload data and video data from AVL units to an external
Archiver.
AVL data offload status
The AVL data offload status task
is an investigation task installed with the Security Center Fleet Monitoring plugin. You can use this task to
view the status of queued, in-progress, and recently completed data offload
requests.
AVL data offload report
The AVL data offload report task
is an investigation task installed with the Security Center Fleet Monitoring plugin. Use this task to view
details on past AVL data offloads.
AVL video offload status report
The AVL video offload status
report task is an investigation task in Security Center. You can use this task 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
In the context of Security Center, 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.
Fleet health
The Fleet health task is an operation
task that shows the status of your AVL units and their associated entities, such as
cameras, Archiver, and GPS units. Use it to
identify where to direct maintenance.
Maps
The Maps task is an operation task that
heightens your situational awareness by providing the context of a map to your security
monitoring and control activities.
My offloads
The My offloads task is an investigation
task you can use to offload data from a vehicle system to Security Center. Use it to view queued, in-progress,
and completed offloads, and easily launch new ones.
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 you can use 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.
Security Center Fleet Monitoring
The Security Center Fleet Monitoring plugin,
previously known as the AVL plugin, gathers and connects video and metadata, such as
location and other sensor inputs, from vehicles running the Security Center Fleet Monitoring plugin. When installed, you can track vehicle locations,
detect vehicles as they enter or exit areas of interest, offload data from vehicles, and
review the playback of the video and metadata in synchronization.
Security Center Vehicle Monitoring
The Security Center Vehicle Monitoring
plugin, previously known as the GPS plugin, is installed on the vehicle system. This
plugin collects telematics, GPS information, and other sensor data as GPS (Global
Positioning System) entities. This plugin also gathers health information from on-board
cameras and other Security Center server
components.
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.
