Advertisement Feature “We take power to your PC and multiply it by the number of PCs on your network,” continued Smith. “What this means is that, if one PC fails, control is seamlessly migrated to another PC, with no interruption or downtime. Therefore, our system isn’t restricted in its performance by the size or capability of a server, nor does it require the expense of moving to server farms or using clustering software. We deliver the most extreme redundancy characteristics for the threats you’ve thought of, as well as those that you haven’t.” Tested and proven Genesys is a ‘true’ ISMS system built around intuitive software that combines a range of industry-leading features and benefits including an enhanced Graphical User Interface experience, 3D modelling and a comprehensive event management database. Events and alarms are presented to the operator clearly as and when they happen. “The Enterprise development within the Existing Genesys isn’t a development waiting for a trial site,” outlined Smith, “but rather one that has already been installed within a highsecurity Critical National Infrastructure project. It’s tested and proven at the highest level under the most demanding of conditions and has been very successful.” Operators can be quickly trained to gain maximum advantage. “The system also enables end users to make better use of their staff and resources, since you don’t have to have all of your Control Rooms working 24 hours,” observed Smith. “Genesys is a truly unique solution offering advanced system architecture, unparalleled ease of use for the operators and very low lifecycle costs for the end customer.” Protection for Haringey residents A new concierge and ISMS solution developed by ISM is now protecting two tower blocks in the London Borough of Haringey, enabling authorised employees to control door access and manage fire and security systems from anywhere within Haringey Council’s estate. Newbury House, Finsbury House, John Keats House and Thomas Hardy House in London’s Wood Green already feature four of ISM’s stateof-the-art Ultimate door entry systems as well as another duo of third party technology systems from Entrotec, using its Apex dual path speech technology. Thanks to the Genesys ISMS, multiple technologies can be controlled regardless of the manufacturer of those technologies, in turn providing enhanced security for residents in over 500 flats across a total of six tower blocks. This delivers greater flexibility and control, eliminates the potential disruption caused by installing new equipment and protects Haringey Council’s legacy investment. It also means that further buildings with existing ISM or Entrotec systems can be added as and when required with only minimal additional investment. Genesys allows the integration not just of door entry systems, but also multiple systems from multiple manufacturers – all from one holistic integrated security system. As mentioned previously, every electronic security or fire safety device from CCTV and intruder detection alarms to electronic locking and Public Address systems can be monitored and controlled from a single platform. The solution for Haringey Council features the aforementioned Migrating 3+ technology. Len Fevrier, senior electrical engineer at Homes for Haringey, has been extremely impressed with the system and how it has performed so far. “We’ve used the ISM Ultimate door entry products and the company’s Genesys Control Room software platform extensively in the Borough over many years now and have enjoyed excellent product reliability and technical support. To improve our efficiency and give faster responses to our residents we needed to provide concierge services for all of our estates. The development of the Entrotec integration into the Genesys platform allowed Haringey to combine technology, including CCTV and fire safety systems, without going to the expense of replacing legacy door entry equipment unnecessarily. This delivers a much-

We now plan to roll out this system across the rest of the Broadwater Farm Estate and, potentially, other sites in the Borough as well.” Built around intuitive software ISM’s Stephen Smith firmly believes that this project is indeed a perfect example of the flexibility of Genesys and the company’s door entry system range. The PSIM software operates as a standalone platform over LAN or WAN networks for remote and local sites with workstations that can be transferred to any operating Security Control Room on the network. This offers the end user flexibility when closing down sites or buildings for off-peak or ‘out of normal hours’ working or in the unlikely event of any system failures. Ultimate is a fully-addressable digital telephone entry system that’s robust in design and easy to install. Unlike other door entry systems on the market, it boasts multi-speech paths that allow numerous conversations to be had at one time. Such was the complexity of the project that from initial design of the system to completing the installation took around two years. Importantly for the client, fire alarms, access control and CCTV systems can all now be controlled from one computer on Haringey Council’s network. Intergrated Security Manufacturing (ISM) in Focus Intergrated Security Manufacturing (ISM) is the UK’s leading developer of Integrated Security Management Systems (ISMS), a new generation of solutions that has moved beyond Physical Security Information Management (PSIM) as the industry knows it. Established in 1989 and now operating from the company’s extensive manufacturing and design facility in Sussex, ISM is once again leading the way in how security management technologies are defined. It’s not just taking PSIM to another level. The company is already there with its ISMS installed, working and proven on the world stage. The business’ global client base encompasses many of the world’s most prominent institutions and includes central and local Government, Critical National Infrastructure concerns, healthcare establishments, education campuses, shopping centres, financial institutions and law enforcement agencies. ISM’s established Genesys platform enables the integration of many types and makes of equipment including CCTV, DVRs, access control systems, fire alarms, intruder detection alarms, audio matrix, intercoms, Public Address and paging systems – all from one holistic security management system.
