Browser-style interface with interactive color graphics
Report generation
The Topaz interface gives you a familiar browser-style environment
in which to administer and operate the system. Dynamic alarm,
reader, security area, and relay icons are displayed on color maps or
other images in standard graphic file types. The icons have full drilldown capabilities to the device level. Use simple mouse clicks on the
appropriate icons to acknowledge alarms or operate, arm or disarm
individual devices and doors or complete security areas.
Report generation is extremely easy through dozens of preconfigured
reports, arranged by cardholders, operators, device types, system
events, alarm events, alarm history and operator actions. The system
is also equipped with a point-and-click customizable Employee Report
Generator tool with multilevel filtering.
Instant access
Topaz panels are not host-dependent. Each panel has a resident
database of users and security information so it always keeps
functioning. Topaz provides access operations and alarm monitoring,
even during system communication loss or data downloads.
Data Guard
Topaz eliminates the potential for database corruption in field panels
due to communication failures during downloads. The Data Guard
feature copies data to local memory during a download, then verifies the
accuracy of the data before updating the panel database, ensuring the
integrity of the data.
CCTV camera with PTZ control
Add a video switcher to your network for a complete CCTV camera
display with pan/tilt/zoom control to view an entire area. These features
are available directly from any of the interactive color graphic maps.
Device Tree displays the system’s configuration.
Fully functional workstations
You can add up to four full workstations to the server, which also operates
as a workstation. Both the server and the workstations include dynamic
and fully interactive maps with onscreen video call-up, PTZ control, and
report and event printing. Each station can also be used as an enrollment
or assessment station for the integrated photo-badging system.
Badging
Create badges easily with Topaz’s integrated video badging and photo
ID facilities. Features include a badge design and drawing package
with multilayer design tools, drag-and-drop capabilities and a full editing
package.
The digital photo capture tool provides image manipulation capabilities.
In addition, it features multiple-frame capture so your subject can
choose the best likeness from several photos. Photos may also be
imported from remote video cameras and digital still cameras.
Entry and exit delays by area
Configuring a short time delay before reporting an alarm allows ingress
or egress while the system disarms or arms. Set each area with an
individual delay.
Browser-style graphical interface can drill down to device level.
