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.
deister proxSafe
The deister proxSafe plugin integrates deister proxSafe
key management systems into Security Center. You
can use this plugin to manage proxSafe cardholders and assets in Security Center and monitor proxSafe events in
Security
Desk.
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.

The Maps task is an operation task that
heightens your situational awareness by providing the context of a map to your security

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 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.
