Guard Tour Applications

In applications with central monitoring rooms, the system can support special automated functionality that views various locations during times when the central monitoring room is not occupied. This special pattern of movement provides a general survey of the viewing area and records it for future reference.

While in operation, the central monitoring room can use a controller to direct cameras for viewing people walking around the facility. For times when the central monitoring room is not occupied, you can integrate the cameras so that they can perform a preset tour. In addition, the cameras can be integrated with the intrusion detection system. 

While in operation, the camera's main purpose is to view and record current activity while an area is actively under surveillance. For maximum efficiency, consider allowing this camera to respond to automated triggers to provide alternative uses.
