11/06/2013 - “Our integrated approach, combining everything from video surveillance to access control and intrusion detection, provides a more complete and unified understanding of modern building security. Andover Continuum is a proven and effective comprehensive solution for a wide range of projects,” says Mikhail Shakarov, manager of the Security Systems business at Schneider Electric in Russia.

Using the new system, you can create reports on any events with detail down to a specific access point, which will make it possible to more effectively identify bottlenecks in the system or quickly detect and correct failed equipment. In addition, you can export data to other accounting systems, tracking, for example, the exact time of employees’ presence in various premises.

Andover Continuum is based on various industry standards and can easily integrate with other business systems to form a complete, unified solution. Andover Continuum has built-in advanced security features, including rapid zone locking when a potential threat is detected, automatic adjustment of access rights when conditions or “threat” level change, “critical security” functions, seamless integration with identity and card access management systems various formats. Secure Encrypted Communications Andover Continuum offers several features to enhance communications security, including: Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) with Internet Key Exchange (IKE) to provide private, secure communications between Andover Continuum controllers and workstations, and secure connections(SSL) for secure communication over the Internet. Andover Continuum also includes SNMP support, advanced encryption, and other important features for the enterprise network.

Based on materials

The second architecture is a distributed network solution(LAN), which includes the installation of a SQL server and several working clients with software. It is possible to connect several web clients and a combination of various network controllers (ACX controllers and NetController II).
For an access control system, it is preferable to use an ACX controller with built-in configuration web pages in each. It can store up to 480,000 personnel records. The controller supports a wide range of existing card formats: Weigand, ABA, HID Corporate-1000, CardKey, Custom Weigand, Custom BA, etc. The ACX controller supports up to 2 Xp expansion modules and an additional Xp display. The most popular are xPBD4 modules, which have 4 universal inputs and 4 relay outputs per type for controlling locks and other additional equipment. All equipment is installed in a single control cabinet with main and backup power supply.
The ACX and NC2 controllers, which are the main controllers of the system, can implement greater encryption capabilities for data transmission over the network. 260-bit reader encryption is provided for various standards, and it is also possible to use special cards with 37-bit encryption.
NetController II controllers allow you to build a distributed access control system, including connecting up to 32 additional modules door controllers for one door, also for 4 or 8 inputs for organizing security loops monitored for open circuits and short circuits.
Another interesting function is provided by the presence of a local display with the ability to arm/disarm the system. Moreover, this can be done both from the central CyberStation and from any reader in the system.
Available a large number of modules that can be installed at a distance of 600 m (RS-485) or 2.7 km free topology (FTT). This provides ease of installation, reduced cabling and significant savings for the user.
The system supports a very large number of readers using the basic Weigand protocol.
The capabilities of Andover Continuum are significantly expanded by integration with video surveillance systems. Naturally, this primarily concerns PELCO by Schneider Electric equipment. Various applications in the Cyberstation software package: Video Monitor, Video Layout, SecureView allow you to integrate various systems PELCO video surveillance. This could be the Digital Sentry hybrid system or one of the most powerful second-generation PELCO Endura systems available today. Organization with video surveillance systems from third-party manufacturers is also possible.
Through Xdriver interfaces, fire safety systems can be integrated, including the FXNet system also manufactured by Schneider Electric. This integration allows you to receive information on various fire alarms and messages, and monitor the health of the fire system. Open and closed protocol drivers provide interaction with security systems, and big choice other products and solutions.
The Continuum Cyberstation workstation performs configuration, programming, and administration of the system, while it is possible to install an SQL database on the same computer or distributed on a server, which is also managed through the Cyberstation complex. Its own powerful programming language, Plain English®, allows you to implement any specific, unique for a particular object, requests for the functioning of the system, and set up an information network without involving third-party support.
The workstation also allows you to receive and process all alarms of the integrated system. One of the undoubted advantages of the system is the ability to generate and quickly transmit very detailed information about alarms: the operator immediately sees where the alarm came from, what its causes are and the state of the system. There are several options for operating the system and delivering alarm messages to different workstations or over the network, including via SMS messages or email in pdf format. The alarm response is possible in manual or automatic mode, preset in the program.
The Continuum CyberStation software package is very convenient for defining individual access privileges. Each person has a unique list of privileges or access areas. Templates make it easy to copy posts and groups of posts. A complete Anti-Passback control system based on time limits and by area eliminates double entry into certain zones throughout the system.
The system has a good and convenient 100 year calendar, with a 7-day work week, user-defined special days, a schedule that is automatically downloaded to the controller and can be stored on any controller. Lots of report options. There is a special additional Cyberstation extension that allows you to create reports of any form and send them by email. They can be started manually or automatically.
The remote web client allows you to connect to the system without installing a workstation on your computer, while the user has the opportunity to see alarm notifications, schedules, reports, etc.
There are two types of software licenses for CyberStation: limited for 1000 system points and 5000 users - and unlimited, up to a million users. Licensed on a boxed basis with a USB key.
The list of Andover Continuum-based security integration projects is long and varied. We can give examples of successful installations all over the world: in the USA, Poland, Ukraine, Great Britain, Turkey and many other countries. Recently, a project was implemented to integrate an access control system with PELCO by Schneider Electric video surveillance and a security alarm at the Russian representative office of a large pharmaceutical company MSD.
