PowerManage
Complete Solution for Managing IP Security Services
IP (Internet Protocol) is the worldwide standard for communication over the Internet. Today, it is also considered to be a very fast and highly reliable channel of communication for alarm systems to transmit their signals to a designated IP receiver. Visonic's PowerManage is a unique service management platform that provides security service providers with a total solution for managing their IP-based services offering – enabling them to take full advantage of the IP opportunity.
Visonic's PowerManage serves as the all-in-one IP receiver for Visonic security systems via Broadband and GPRS. The PowerManage supervises the security systems and forwards events to the central station's operation software. Featuring all the receiver capabilities needed for advanced visual alarm verification through security system cameras, the PowerManage enables the central station operator to track an alarmed security system quickly, and to view the alarm-time recorded images.
Smart Architecture Leads to Cost-effectiveness
The unique architecture of Visonic's PowerManage – targeted to the needs of security service providers – makes it one of the most cost effective IP service management solutions on the market. A single PowerManage receiver can easily handle up to 15,000 accounts, making sure each security system is alive and functioning.
A Complete IP Receiving Application
The PowerManage delivers all events using standard receiver protocols, so the central station software does not need any special adaptations in order to work with PowerManage.
Visonic's PowerManage serves as the all-in-one IP receiver for Visonic security systems. The central station operator can track an alarmed system quickly and view the alarm-time recorded images via a standard web browser on the operator console, with no need to leave his/her work station. In addition, Visonic also custom-integrates the PowerManage more closely with specific central station software programs so that the video alarm images are handled by the central station software itself.
Full-grade Service Management
Whether the PowerManage is used as an IP receiver only or as a full-grade service management platform, it offers all required capabilities: the service provider can set supervision frequency for each controlled system, enable/disable the PowerLink end-user portal or specific services in it, reset an end-user's forgotten password, and much more.
