The Continuum “Area Purge” utility purges (removes) selected personnel’s access to areas in

a facility based on cardholder inactivity for these areas during a specified time period. The

“Area Purge” utility not only limits the risk of unauthorized card use, but is especially

beneficial to larger facilities where cardholder database cleanup can be extremely tedious

and time-consuming. In today’s world of heightened security concerns, many corporations are

now requiring this feature.

The “Auto Purge” utility is extremely flexible. You can select different criteria and rules for

your purges, and once configured, the system can run automatically or on an as-needed

(manual) basis. In addition, an “Area Purge Reports” application provides a variety of

reporting options and e-mailing capability.

The “Area Purge” utility uses (and requires) the Continuum “Access Event Archiver” database

as the source of access event information, along with Continuum CyberStation workstation

to perform area purgings.

Using the automatic purging feature, access privileges can be removed from cardholders who

have not used their cards in the selected areas during a specified time period; for example, in

the last six months, using pre-scheduled purge dates and/or frequencies. Using an easy-to-

use point-and-click on-screen

configuration screen, “purge

areas” can be selected

individually or in groups and

specific cardholders can be

excluded from the purge

process. A manual “Purge

Now” feature, with password

protection, is also available.

In the unlikely event that certain cardholders are purged inadvertently, an “Area UnPurge”

feature allows you to quickly and easily restore purged areas and schedules. Performing an

“UnPurge” is as easy as running a report to select the cardholder’s areas and clicking on the

“UnPurge” button.

Continuum’s Elevator Control provides convenient tools to assign precise, floor-by-floor

elevator access to your personnel. This add-on module to your Continuum system is fast and

easy to use. Configuration is simple and the template-based user interface allows you to

easily assign standard or custom elevator access rights to each employee.

In a single building, the Elevator Control module can configure up to six banks of elevators;

with each bank configured for up to eight elevator cabs, and each cab configured for up to

100 floors. The module can also support multiple elevator layouts in different buildings on a

wide-area network (WAN) from a central location; for example, to configure an extensive

elevator system across a large campus complex.

The Elevator Control module allows for precise monitoring of which floor select button was

pushed. When this option is implemented, the cardholder’s name and floor selected will

appear in any access event report, providing building administrators a complete audit trail.

An XDriver enabled on the NetController is required for this option.

The Elevator Control module is used in conjunction with a dedicated Continuum

NetController(s), plus Continuum AC-1 and AC-1Plus access control modules and DM-20 high-

density I/O modules. Each NetController can

support 20,000 cardholders. All popular card

formats are supported.

The Continuum Extended Log Archiver facilitates the automatic storage and reporting of

Continuum’s Extended Logs from the Continuum SQL database to portable database files.

These files, in turn, can be backed up easily to tape, CD-ROM, or other storage media. This

utility is especially useful in FDA-regulated industries, high-tech manufacturing, and other

critical manufacturing processes where long-term archiving of data, i.e., temperature,

humidly, pressure, air flow, etc., must be meticulously maintained and readily available for

reporting and review. The Archiver’s intuitive user screen provides exporting features that

allow for data sharing with other people, data systems, or interfaces. An Encryption option

provides the ultimate data integrity and security by preventing data from being viewed or

altered by any external application.

The Extended Log Archiver’s point-and-click main screen provides all of the user-configurable

settings and controls needed to automatically archive any or all Continuum groups and their

associated points to any drive, directory, or specific file. The user selects the groups of points

to archive, sets the archive frequency (from one minute to 999 days), and selects the file type

(daily or monthly) and the directory or file to archive to.

Extended Log truncation is used to delete archived data from the Continuum SQL database.

This handy feature keeps the size of the extended log tables (and the Continuum database)

from growing too large. The truncation application checks the archived database before

deleting data from the Continuum database so you do not run the risk of deleting data that

has not yet been archived. Selection of which groups to be truncated, plus frequency, start

date and time, and age of data to be truncated are all user-definable.

The Alarms-Categories Reporting option provides quick sorting and reporting of alarms and alarm category statistics. This

information is derived from user-defined category codes entered in the alarm’s “Operator Text” field during the time of alarm

acknowledgement. Category codes begin with a “\”, followed by a number 01-99. For example:

\01 Alarm Validation or Verification

\02 Alarm Revalidation or Reverification

\03 Alarm Testing

\04 Nuisance Alarm

Alarms that do not contain category codes in the Operator Text field at the time of alarm will be grouped into the general

category, “All Other Alarms”.

Alarm categories are assigned using an easy-to-use “point-and-click” on-screen interface. Note: A keyboard macro program

can be used to assign alarm category codes with their applicable descriptions to keyboard function keys, such as F1-F12.

Two different types of reports can be run and printed:

• A standard Alarms-Categories Report sorts the alarms by category. Within each category, the alarms

are sorted by time of occurence. Also displayed is the Continuum user who acknowledged each alarm

and the “Ack” time.

• An Alarm Statistics Report displays the number of alarms per selected category along with the

percentage. Statistics report can be saved to a CSV file for easy import and graphing.

Time Tracker is a precise and automatic method for tracking employee labor hours using

access event data in the Continuum database. This add-on module to your Continuum or non-

Continuum Windows PC is fast and easy to use. There’s no programming for your Continuum

System Administrator to do! Every action is done with a click of the mouse on a single Time

Tracker screen — there’s no tabbing back and forth between different forms. Time Tracker

provides managers with real-time reporting and historical views of employee and contractors

attendance. And for employees and contractors, Time Tracker offers them assurance that the

hours they work each and every pay period are accurately accounted for.

Tracking labor hours begins with designating all or only specific cardholders. Selecting them is easy — Time Tracker

provides a “QuicKey” search field for fast location of a specific name from your Continuum database, and “Filter”

buttons to narrow the listing to a particular employee number, social security number, department name or code, or

office location. When the correct cardholder names display, you can individually select some by clicking the checkbox

next to their names; or alternatively, click on the “Include All” button to select them all.

Then set up a tracking period using Time Tracker’s built-in calendar and clock controls. Select “Start Date”, “Start

Time”, “End Date”, and “End Time” by simply clicking on the date in the Time Tracker calendar and then scrolling the

time displays for the specified times. For your convenience, “Quick Pick” buttons (“Yesterday”, “Today”, etc.) are

provided that set the dates and times accordingly.

Next configure area assignments (the selection of all possible entrance and exit doors) by simply clicking with a

mouse in the “In Areas” and “Out Areas” checkboxes on the Time Tracker screen.

Once configued, all Time Tracker settings (cardholders, start and end dates/times, filters, areas, and reports) can all be

saved to settings files on your hard drive for easy recall.

SAMPLE CONTINUUM SECURITY MANAGEMENT

SYSTEM USING VIDEO MONITOR SOFTWARE

Video Monitor is a feature-rich, easy-to-use software package for your Continuum® security

management system, providing seamless alarm-to-video integration between the Continuum

CyberStation front-end and Integral Technologies Digital Video Recording (DVR) units. With

Video Monitor, link any alarm point on your network, even third-party BACnet points, to any

camera tied to an Integral DVX or DigitalSentry recording unit. Active alarms — a forced

entry alarm, a motion sensor alarm, a high temperature alarm, a fire pull station alarm —

will automatically pop up live video on the CyberStation PC. Upon alarm, the DVR’s recording

mode automatically changes from motion recording to continuous recording with pre- and

post-alarm video capturing.

View live and recorded video at the same time using Video Monitor’s dual-window screen,

and switch up to four different camera views per alarm point for quick, clear alarm

assessment. CyberStation operators located anywhere on the network can control Pan-Tilt-

Zoom (PTZ) cameras remotely and select presets with one click for a true enterprise-class

digital video surveillance system.

The Video Monitor Plus option integrates Continuum’s Personnel Editor functionality with your

Integral digital video system. Search for cardholders in the Continuum database and view

motion video clips linked with their access events, or bring up a complete history of past

motion video clips associated with access events at a specific door.

The easy-to-use Video Monitor screen pops up automatically when an alarm arrives at the Continuum CyberStation. Video Monitorclearly displays the names of both the alarm and the alarm point that triggered it. Video Monitor can also be launched at anytimemanually to review prior alarm video.

Video Monitor provides three different default viewing modes:

Live/Live Mode:Displays live video on both the left and right side of the screen. By default, the left view displays live video from the first camerawhile the right view displays the live view from the second camera. Switch to another camera view (up to four per point) by clickingon it in the “Camera Selection” window. At any time, you can stop the live view, or pause and print a video image.

Live/Recorded Mode:Displays live video from the first camera on the left and recorded/alarmed video from this same camera or from any of the threeother cameras you select on the right. In this mode, you can click in the “Alarm List” box and play several different time stampvideos of the alarm; or select a different time period from the “Time Selection” box to bring up a different set of recorded videos.

Single Live Mode:Displays a single live video on the screen. By default, this mode plays a live video from the first camera when launched. At any time,you can switch to another camera view. In addition, in Single Live Mode, you have the option of increasing the video viewing areaby 1x, 2x, or 2.5x.

Although the default view mode is Live/Live after the first installation, the user can change the default and switch back and forthbetween the three different modes using the drop-down menu. All modes are sized to allow multiple occurrences (up to three) ofVideo Monitor to run simultaneously, such as when multiple alarms occur.

A dropdown “Options” menu at the top of the Video Monitor screen allows you to specify the number of seconds to view beforeand after an alarm and to adjust the image quality and speed of video playback.

Six PTZ control buttons allow the CyberStation operator to easily position a PTZ camera across the network — pan left and right,move up and down, and zoom in and out . In addition, the operator can click on one of six PTZ preset buttons from the interface toset the preposition of the current camera. On alarm, Video Monitor can be configured to automatically call up a particular PTZpreset.

Use the handy “Unlock” button to unlock/lock any door being viewed and click on the “PE Function” button to launch a pre-programmed Plain English® custom sequence or macro for easy interfacing to third-party systems such as intercoms.

Along with Continuum alarm points, Video Monitor can also be triggered by third-party BACnet devices, in strict accordance withASHRAE standard 135-2001. For example, upon a pull station-originated fire alarm, a BACnet fire panel can trigger video to pop upimmediately on the Continuum CyberStation screen. The operator can quickly assess the situation in that area and review a recordedvideo clip of the person who pulled the alarm.

Similarly, an intrusion point from any third-party BACnet security system can trigger video on the CyberStation screen and provide quickoperator assessment of a possible security breach.
