INSIDE STORY
The electronic super guard!
tralis has released the
ADPRO XOa 3
SecurityPlus Remotely
Programmable Operating
System for FastTrace 2 Series
Remotely Managed Multiservice Gateways (RMG). XOa
3 turns a FastTrace RMG into
an “electronic super guard,”
with intrusion detection,
presence awareness (loitering), automatic visual
verification of fire/smoke, and multi-level
response capabilities ranging from 2-way audio
talk-down to control of lighting, access, and
ventilation or any other building subsystem, all
from a remote monitoring station.
XOa 3 also provides business intelligence
capabilities, using security infrastructure to
monitor customer behaviour to improve sales
and customer service. The system also expands
the number of channels supported to 32 x 5Mbps
IP video cameras, with up to 32 of Xtralis’ analytic
applications (32x32) per FastTrace system.
Samir Samhouri CEO at Xtralis explains more
about the technology:
X
Xtralis has introduced
ADPRO XOa 3, a
convergence software
platform with security,
safety, business
intelligence, and
building management
services
How can XOa 3 replace or improve
guard performance?
In addition to security, guards do many other
tasks in a facility, from fire response to basic
building management functions and some
customer service engagement. Xtralis video
content analytics, including IntrusionTrace,
LoiterTrace, and SmokeTrace are always alert,
and immune to false alarms or missed threats,
regardless of conditions on the scene. The
strength of early and accurate detection
combined with high-resolution video streams (32
channels @ 5Mbps), delivers the ability to secure
and control premises from a remote monitoring
station 24/7. This is equivalent to having 32 sets
of eyes, ears, voice, and hands at a single facility,
all managed through a single FastTrace enabled
by XOa 3.
How does the system help first
responders?
www.xtralis.com
26
The Central Monitoring Station can partner with
on-site personnel and first responders more
efficiently and provide event notification, alarm
images, and real-time video on mobile devices
for situational awareness, with multi-level
response capabilities including command and
control of a site from anywhere. The ADPRO
iTrace mobile application provides live video
images from the scene, building management
commands to turn the lights on/off, open/close a
gate or door, and turn on/off HVAC with one click
to assist with first responder intervention as well
as speak to people onsite to provide direction or
instruction for evacuation. ADPRO iRespond is a
mobile application that delivers alarm images
and live video streams to first responders to
provide intelligent situational awareness to
enable them to plan a more effective
intervention. This can be done en route to the
site, saving time on arrival for planning an
entry/intervention.
What services does XOa 3 enable?
LoiterTrace provides unwanted or prolonged
presence awareness for both inside and outside
environments which can be used in many
applications, including car parks, school
grounds, and multi-tenant buildings.
Two more services are now available from
Xtralis, the new SmokeTrace analytic which
works with existing smoke detectors to provide
automatic visual verification of smoke and to
reduce unnecessary intervention significantly.
The new ClientTrace analytic uses existing
security infrastructure to monitor customer
behaviour to improve sales and customer service.
Up to 32 of these security, safety, and business
intelligence capabilities are available on a single
platform simultaneously. These analytics can be
deployed by CMS and installers at end customer
sites on an as needed basis to significantly
enhance the service offerings per site. In
addition, XOa 3 can sense 168 inputs and
controls 144 outputs to deliver additional
building management and security services,
including energy savings through remote control
of HVAC and lighting.
How does it enable service on a pay
as you go basis?
The Xtralis Xchange web portal, allows for
remote downloading of software and licenses, so
that new services can be enabled on XOa 3
devices as-needed. Analytics licenses can be
purchased and immediately deployed, with the
option to redeploy the analytic at another site to
protect the customer’s investment. The ‘pay-asyou-go’ approach is the ideal recurring revenuegenerating approach for CMS and installers, who
gain the flexibility to deliver safety, security, and
business intelligence to customers where and
when they need it. Licenses are available in term
and lifetime options.
Who can use XOa 3?
All existing owners of a FastTrace 2 series system
can immediately benefit from all of the above
capabilities by downloading the software. By
doing so, the existing system is automatically
activated to accept all the capabilities that XOa 3
offers. Any customer needing to enhance and or
cost-reduce guarding services can do so with a
XOa 3 enabled FastTrace. All new FastTrace 2
series systems will be shipped with XOa 3.
