To delimit protected territory in Axxon PSIM, the Region object is used. Delimiting of protected territory helps to monitor and control objects of the security system more efficiently.

Monitoring is implemented by providing information about a region—a relative area of event source-object location. If any event comes from a system object (camera, sensor, and so on), this event will contain information on the region where this object is located. Information on object’s belonging to a particular region is displayed in the event viewer (see Event viewer).

The map is used in Axxon PSIM to work with regions. The icons of the Region object on the map are given below.

  1. Region is disarmed:
  2. Region is armed:
  3. Alarm in the region. An alarm event from one or several objects that belong to this region is detected:

You can set any state to the region by right-clicking the region icon on the map and selecting an item in the function menu:

There is general information at the top of the function menu: region name, name and time of the latest completed action. After general information, there is a list of available commands.

Commands of the function menu of the Region object are described in the table.
