Command & Control System provide a single point of control and monitoring for building, fire and security systems including CCTV, access control, intruder, perimeter, fire, intercom, cell call, staff safety, concierge, building alarms and other emerging technologies.

From a single control room the events at a wide range of remote sites can be monitored and controlled quickly and effectively. System warnings, events and alarms are all clearly identified [with pre-determined event help information], prioritized, graphically located and visually verified with automatic CCTV video to enable a more efficient and accountable response.

Information is critical in managing an efficient and effective control room and a key component of our software solutions is the process for obtaining quick and simplified reports. All system actions are logged, which is a powerful tool in determining the sequence of events should any historical analysis be required. Reports include alarm event analysis which can be either manually or automatically generated. Alarm analysis will search, correlate and collate information to produce quick view graphs to identify trends and patterns.

Centralized Monitoring & Control

Your control room is the central intelligence point for managing and evaluating a wide range of monitoring and control equipment. Response to either minor or critical events is very dependent upon the experience and knowledge of your operator. Encountering problems within your control room?

  • Training is experience dependent
  • Information is spread across different systems
  • Incident and response can be open to interpretation
  • Accountability is difficult

integrated software management systems deliver an effective solution:

  • Identifies and verifies information while assisting with incident control and events in an organised manner
  • One operating routine for all systems makes it easier for operators to understand events, respond and direct resources effectively
  • A single database for all systems ensures operational accountability, greater management control and a full audit trail of events
  • Response to events can be pre-determined with video verification and on-line help instruction.

Smarter Building Performance

Buildings should be considered as an evolving project which changes throughout its life and will be affected by modified use. With the evolution of information technology, investment in systems should not become an expensive mistake by the virtue of their inflexibility. Our solution enables interoperable strategies to be implemented, to deliver common ‘look and feel’ control, monitoring, alarm handling, analysis and management reporting tools. Improved visibility of systems data improves the potential for both human and software analysis of building performance. Delivering holistic analysis and corrective action, provides the ability to maintain optimum performance, for more efficient environmental comfort, safety and security. Cortech’s command and control solution enables real time monitoring and control of smart building technology. This reduces the need and overhead cost for a dedicated manned BMS control desk. Whilst security operations may remain as a standalone responsibility, improved interfacing will assist with communication and management of ‘out of hours’ response.

The solution, with its clear and intuitive graphical locations, allows operators to respond efficiently to all alerts and events with a pre-determined response requirement for

Critical building alarm events

  • Temperature/humidity monitoring
  • Plant and control systems
  • Binary input/outputs
  • Analogue input/outputs ……

With one priority regime for all systems, Integral to the Cortech ‘Smart Building’ solution is a comprehensive Energy Management module incorporating Targeted Metering. Legislation relating to the reduction of CO2 emissions for buildings has highlighted the importance for Organizations to adopt energy management strategy and policy.

Smart Energy monitoring reduces your energy usage, emissions and costs. Our solution enables real time threshold monitoring for consumption and emissions, automatically generating alarm events and procedural responses. This is particularly beneficial with monitoring instances of leaks and exceptional high energy use that are not immediately evident. Cortech’s Energy module utilises CCTV and security detection devices to monitor the movement of people in rooms / buildings / areas, intelligently reducing temperatures and lighting based on non-occupancy. Be smart, be more efficient and cut your costs. Cortech’s Energy and BMS Modules can be linked dynamically to any existing integration you have for security and fire control room equipment, as a single operating and reporting platform with just one database.

Key features include :

  • Intelligent Metering – real time events and comprehensive reporting
  • Display Meter readings – online hosting includes monitoring, analysis reporting and reviews.
  • Set thresholds for power, temperature and water usage
  • Switch outputs for sounders, lights & display
