Select the device type (Barrier, Gas, P2P, etc.) from the first dropdown menu and then choose the element to be represented from the second dropdown menu.
3- Automatic Alarm Configuration by Zone:
Simplify alarm configuration by zone with the TecnoAlarm Monitor Plugin. We handle everything for you.
When the new update activates all zones automatically, they are assigned a default alarm zone name, which you can change as needed, including enabling or disabling this feature.
4- Camera Association with Automatic Alarm Configuration by Zone:
Revolutionize your experience by automatically associating one or more cameras with the activated zone when an alarm occurs.
We proudly introduce the innovative «Automatic Alarm Configuration by Zone» feature, simplifying the process and providing better control over your security system.
5- Status Details:
Can’t recall what happened in a specific zone or on the intrusion panel? Want to know how a specific element reached its current state?
We’ve got the perfect solution! With our new feature, you can access a detailed history with just one click. Click the icon associated with the element to quickly and accurately see all recent events that impacted its status. It’s simple, fast, and provides all the information you need instantly!
6-Remote Control Management (Outputs):
The new plugin update includes remote control management, allowing system and external device functions like heating, air conditioning, lighting, and more. This feature is not limited to output management but can handle all TecnoAlarm functions available in a remote control (internal sirens, external sirens, etc.).
7-New Remote Control Rule:
We’ve combined TecnoAlarm’s remote control with Milestone’s powerful automated actions, enabling you to efficiently manage every aspect of your security system. With Milestone’s intelligent rules and automation engine, your system adapts to your needs, optimizing performance and responsiveness. A seamless integration for complete, hassle-free control!
Improvements
1- Integration of Virtual Zones via HTTP Stream in TecnoAlarm EVO10-50 Control Panel
The integration of the TecnoAlarm EVO1050 control panel with Milestone XProtect through the SGSE plugin enables using alarms generated by smart camera image analysis as virtual zones on the intrusion panel via HTTP Stream.
This technology allows cameras to transmit real-time events to the control panel through a persistent HTTP connection, configuring them as virtual zones that function like traditional physical sensors—without additional physical wiring between the intrusion panel and the image analysis device or camera.
The cameras’ image analysis identifies specific events, such as line crossings or presence in restricted areas, and transmits them in a structured format (e.g., JSON) directly to the control panel. The EVO10-50 processes this data and maps it to predefined virtual zones, simplifying management and expanding system capabilities without modifying the physical infrastructure.
This feature significantly improves efficiency since each event can trigger alarms, activate devices, or send notifications to operators through Milestone XProtect.
The TecnoAlarm plugin in Milestone XProtect now includes a specific video analytics icon for these virtual zones as part of the intrusion deployment, alongside traditional physical sensors (volumetric, seismic, magnetic contacts, etc.).
Color | Virtual zone | Video analytics | Meaning |
Green | The input is at rest | ||
Red | The input is in alarm | ||
Orange | The input is armed | ||
Yellow | The input has issues | ||
Magenta | Tamper detected | ||
Pink | Anti-masking | ||
Gray | Unknown |
The use of HTTP Stream reduces response time by transmitting alarms in real time and allows centralizing all notifications in Milestone XProtect. This facilitates monitoring and automating actions such as automatic recordings, activation of deterrents, or sending alerts to mobile devices. Additionally, by relying on image analysis, the system minimizes false alarms by filtering out irrelevant elements such as shadows or small animals, ensuring greater accuracy.
This architecture offers a scalable and flexible system capable of adapting to dynamic or expanding installations. By combining the advanced capabilities of image analysis with the robustness of the EVO10-50 control panel and the Milestone platform, the solution not only optimizes resources but also enhances security and real-time control, providing a more efficient and personalized response to incidents.
2- Incorporation of new, more up-to-date iconography.
3- A new line of icons for remote control management has been added.
