Siemens develops security monitoring and control system

With SPCanywhere, users can now monitor multiple SPC installations via a graphical user interface. SPCanywhere provides an overview of the system area status, as well as the status of all the zones and door controls. For each installation, users can select a map view, which provides an instant overview with icons that clearly show positioning of the detectors and verification cameras. Tapping on an icon allows the user to control doors, areas and zones, or to display real time images live on the iPhone or iPad. In addition to these remote monitoring facilities, the SPCanywhere app also allows a user to remotely set and unset installations. A comprehensive log screen is also provided, which allows users to access a detailed record of all significant events relating to their installation, including not only alarm activations, but also power failures and other system incidents.
