Customizable buttons in the monitoring interface
You can place different buttons in the monitoring interface, which will trigger a certain event and a respective system response when pressed. The responses can use the same parameters as the initial event.
Example system responses performed by the press of the button:
- Switching between different checkpoint operating modes (you can create several buttons to quickly switch certain modes on)
-
Perform an action to selected alarm zones
- Permit one-time pass
-
Send SMS / Telegram message / email notification
-
Send a popup notification to any operator
-
Change the expiration date of a guest card / abort a guest card
-
Change the value on the payment account of the respective employee
-
Send an HTTP request to any external system
Access permission by security
This access rule is useful for inspections and background checks of the visitors. The employee will be able to walk through the door only after the security officer’s permission.
In Sigur, the operator can grant an access permission, among other options, from the monitoring interface by pressing the respective button. Learn more by visiting our dedicated section.
Alarm zones matrix
You can also place an alarm zones matrix in the monitoring interface, which is basically a digital representation of the analogue control unit. This tool is useful to monitor and control the alarm zones of the site. The user chooses which objects will be visualized and assigns zone names. For convenience, zones can be grouped into tabs.
