Purpose of integration the Intellect software package with FSA/ACS device

• Provide user interface on the same software in the context of different security equipment subsystems.
• Configure cause-and-effect connection between different subsystems (video surveillance, FSA, ACS, audio registration, etc.).
• Use network capability of the software.
• Joint marketing promotion of integrated solution by software and hardware manufacturers.

Integration technology:

Technologically integration is a synchronization of information streams between software and FSA/ACS hardware. There are four main information streams between software and FSA/ACS hardware.

• Hardware events.
• Software control.
• Software configuration. Send configuration from Hardware (auto configuration).
• Request-response of current hardware state.

Ways of integration:

1. Low-level protocol. Events, reactions, configuration commands as the byte set are programmed to the software.
2. SDK – Software Development Kit. Events, reactions, configuration commands, state requests as functionas are programmed to the software.
3. Communication server (Program-driver) – program layer between ITV | AxxonSoft software and hardware in which events, reactions, configuration commands, state request are built in. COM-server and OPC-server are examples of these programs.
4. SOFT-SOFT. Events, reactions, configuration commands, state requests are programmed on the level of two software packages. Database synchronization is a way of SOFT-SOFT integration on the level of joint using of one database by two software packages, e.g. for access to event log.
5. Universal protocol integration: OPC, SNMP, BACnet. Exchange of events, reactions, configuration commands and state requests with hardware is performed by general protocol. List of hardware connected to the Intellect software package by universal protocols is specified in the Systems connected by universal protocols section.
