Alphalogic is the software platform created for integration, monitoring and systems management of security and the engineering systems. The product provides full interaction of all integrated equipment, optimization and the organization of the workflows connected by work of the integrated subsystems.
Alphalogic is a versatile tool for the integrators and installers projecting and implementing complete solutions in the field of security and engineering. The product has ample opportunities on collecting, transport, processing and visualization of different data types, intensively develops according to the tasks arising in the market.
The main types of the integrated systems:
- video surveillance;
- video analytics;
- audioregistration;
- security and fire warning;
- perimeter security systems;
- control and management systems for access;
- engineering systems.
Support of the Onvif standard is added to an integration software platform of Alphalogic of AlphaOpen company in the summer of 2012 that allows to connect the wide nomenclature of the equipment of video surveillance systems to the platform, providing media data, acceptance of events and control of the equipment.
Open Network Video Interface Forum develops the standard providing the unified information exchange between sources of information and information processing systems. Support of the all-industry standard allows to use a broad spectrum of the equipment of different producers in complete solutions.
The Alphalogic platform implements the following interactions with the equipment and systems supporting the Onvif standard:
- · receiving audio-and video this;
- · management of a turning gear of cameras and rotary platforms;
- · management of a variofokalny motorized lens;
- · receiving events of video analytics;
- · obtaining diagnostic operation parameters of the equipment;
- · receiving events from the sensors connected to dry contacts;
- · control of the executive equipment connected to relay exits;
- · setup of operation of devices.
Configuring of security systems based on the Alphalogic® platform also significantly becomes simpler thanks to support in the Onvif protocol of a search capability of devices in network.
The Alphalogic platform supports work with ACS controllers of Alfa-Pribor company
Integration into a software platform of Alphalogic of ALPHAOPEN company of controllers of the APDA series (Easy APDA.21, APDA.21 EASY and APDA.41) from composition of control and access control (ACS) of "Tempo Reale" of production of JSC NPP Alfa-Pribor is complete. Integration provides:
- Access card management in the automatic or manual modes,
- Situational monitoring of sensors and points of pass,
- Condition monitoring of operation of controllers,
- Control of the executive equipment.
Interaction of software of Alphalogic with APDA controllers is made by means of a standard Ethernet network and does not require additional converters of the interface or adapters.
Functions of work with the SMS and phone calls
Functions of acceptance and instant messaging of the SMS and also acceptance and transfer of phone calls are added to the Alphalogic platform. The function of sending of Sms implemented in the Alphalogic platform allows to use cellular communication and mobile phones for the notification about disturbing events, the current operation modes of systems, transfers of any other parameters and events which are present at the complete solution.
The possibility of acceptance of Sms allows to transfer the event information which is contained in the SMS, in the Alphalogic platform, to process it, on the basis of the sent information to execute commands and to change operation modes of the integrated subsystems. Acceptance and processing of calls provides to integrators to use mobile phones as a unique identifier for execution of automatic equipment and automation in solutions based on the Alphalogic platform. The unique subscriber number and other parameters of a call can be processed in Alphalogic using the system of rules. For example, the call from a certain phone number can cause generation of the report on a current status of work of the different systems, and sending of this report to the user in the form of the Sms back.
Support of the SNMP standard is added to the platform of monitoring and management of Alphalogic
In the integration Alphalogic platform the feature for monitoring and control of the equipment of different producers through SNMP agents is added, using the network protocol SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) which on the present is the most popular standard protocol in modern networks for work with IT infrastructure.
Thanks to support of the SNMP standard the Alphalogic platform in real time provides condition monitoring of operation of the different equipment: routers, server racks, servers, workstations, including the software started on them, uninterruptible power supply units, printers, and a set of other equipment.
Alphalogic supports work with SNMP devices and also allows to load management information bases (MIB) that gives the chance to describe structure of managed data on the integrated subsystem for the end user. Except the main operation mode, poll of objects in real time, the Alphalogic platform supports obtaining asynchronous trap-messages.
Video surveillance systems of Mobotix are integrated into the platform of monitoring and management of Alphalogic
In the spring of 2013 integration of the equipment for video surveillance systems of production of the German company MOBOTIX AG into a universal software platform of monitoring and management of Alphalogic of ALPHAOPEN company is complete.
In a line of the equipment Mobotix the various video cameras with advanced functionality allowing to transfer not only video/audio data, but also a set of other parameters and events inherent to the security and engineering systems are provided.
As a result of the made integration of the camera Mobotix can transfer to the Alphalogic system own events and parameters and also events and operation parameters of the additional hardware connected to them.
The Alphalogic system can manage the cameras Mobotix and any executive equipment connected to cameras. Control of the equipment Mobotix can be exercised as the operator from any control interfaces, and in the automatic mode, using the system of rules and interactions of Alphalogic.
2014: Alphalogic includes support of the BACnet protocol
On April 9, 2014 the AlphaOpen company announced adding of support of the BACnet protocol in a software platform of Alphalogic.
Support [1] is added to the integration software platform of Alphalogic intended for monitoring and management of the engineering systems and security systems.
Within integration, in the Alphalogic platform the connectivity under the BACnet protocol of controllers and separate devices with support of the BACnet/IP specification is added. Connection of devices based on the buses MS/TP (RS-485), POP (RS-232), LonTalk, Arknet via gateways in BACnet/IP is possible. Support in the Alphalogic platform of the BACnet protocol allows to connect in addition via the gateways BACnet/IP and to use segments of the equipment of KNX, EnOcean, DALI, and a set of other segments of the equipment of other producers as a part of complete solutions.
Integration with the system of wireless data collection Teleofis
On September 23, 2014 the Alphaopen company announced completion of integration of a system of wireless data collection of accounting of resource consumption of Teleofis company.
Alphaopen announced new opportunities for creation of solutions of technical and commercial accounting of the consumed resources on the basis of a software platform of Alphalogic using the equipment of Teleofis company.
Within integration in a software platform of Alphalogic support is implemented:
- wireless mesh-radio network on the basis of collecting devices and data transmission of SmartVoyager FX868;
- universal GPRS communicators of the WRX series.
Scheme of interaction of nodes and technologies
Feature of the solution - local data transmission between the SmartVoyager devices installed in buildings using a self-organizing mesh-radio network. This approach provides high fault tolerance of data transmission channel, providing uninterrupted management and monitoring. Other advantage is reduction of necessary wire communications for installation of a system on an object.
