First year Software Upgrade and Support Plan (SUSP) included

Lenel delivers a streamlined Software Upgrade & Support Plan (SUSP) for your OnGuard® and stand-alone video customers. Based on feedback from you and your end users, we’ve created new options that are more cost effective, simpler, and deliver more advantages that both you and your customers will appreciate.

Browser-based Lenel Console application dashboard

Lenel Console is a web-based application designed to launch OnGuard web and desktop applications as well as third-party applications and websites.

Lenel Console consists of cards representing licensed and installed desktop and web-based applications with icons to identify desktop applications from web-based applications. To open an application, click the card.

Depending on permissions, an OnGuard users can re-arrange, re-color, and create custom cards for themselves only in Lenel Console, or they can create, modify, and delete templates.

Alarm monitoring

The Alarm Monitoring application displays information about individual alarms and events as they occur. Operators can acknowledge alarms and manually change the status of devices as well as monitor video and launch Guard Tours.

With the correct permissions, Operators can also perform a variety of administrative tasks such as adding, modifying, deleting and tracking cardholders, visitors and assets as well as print badges.

MapDesigner offers a straightforward way to create maps that are used in Alarm Monitoring. Each map you create contains icons, small graphical symbols, representing access control system hardware components and areas. During alarm monitoring, one or more hardware icons may appear animated on a map to indicate the presence of alarms at those physical locations.

Using MapDesigner, you can add text information to maps, change the appearance of the map icons and labels, and resize and print maps. You can also link maps together by creating maps that include icons for other maps.

VideoViewer (video only, web)

VideoViewer can be accessed through an Internet browser-based client.

The VideoViewer browser-based client can perform the following functions:

• Display live and recorded video
• Digital zoom
• PTZ camera control
• Click to center
• Ability to access video from multiple recorders
• Export video
• Load pre-configured video matrix layouts

Event logging

Logging events to database can be restricted to Timezone intervals if required

When creating and customizing the event code templates, there is also the ability to choose whether the event is reported and logged. This is useful when a receiver account is reporting up an event, perhaps quite frequently, that the user does not want to fill the database with or send to Alarm Monitoring. If an event code is marked to not be reported/logged, that option can be overridden for a specific case using the custom event code mappings and deriving a new template off an existing template.

Anti-Passback

Timed Anti-passback: Configurable wait time between an initial badge swipe and the time at which the same badge will be accepted again at the same card reader.

Update Area Status – updates the status of both safe and hazardous areas so that operators can have a current view of cardholder locations.

Occupancy Report – provides a current report of the cardholders currently in a safe area.

Move Badges – enables an operator to manually move all the badges from one area to another.

Mustering Report – provides a current report of the cardholders currently in a hazardous area.

Guard tour

One or more checkpoints (card readers or alarm inputs) checked during a guard’s predetermined path.

• Create, modify, and delete guard tours.
• Add checkpoints to tours.
• Assign minimum and maximum times to reach checkpoints.
• Associate actions with checkpoints.
• Associate messages with checkpoints.
• Associate tours with live video.
• Create tour instructions that can be viewed and printed prior to launching the tour from the Alarm Monitoring application.
• Create, modify, and delete tours groups.
• Schedule automatic guard tours.

A guard tour provides a guard (a cardholder who has been specifically chosen to conduct a tour) with a defined set of tasks that must be performed within a specified period of time. Typical tasks include swiping a card at a checkpoint access reader or turning a key connected to an alarm panel input. Checkpoints are designated stops along a tour.

The guard tour management system records the location and timestamp for each checkpoint visited by a guard. The checkpoint time represents the time it should take to reach a particular checkpoint. All checkpoints have minimum and maximum checkpoint times. A guard tour event is generated if a checkpoint is missed, reached early, on time, late, out of sequence, or is overdue.

A tour is considered complete when any of the following occur:

• All of the checkpoints on the tour have been reached, reached out of sequence, or missed.
• The tour is acknowledged as complete at a monitoring station.
• The tour is terminated at a monitoring station.
