Next-generation danger management
Cerberus DMS integrates fire safety and
security systems, including access control,
intrusion detection and video surveil-
lance. It thus creates harmonized work-
flows and allows users to monitor and
operate the system from a single inter-
face. For instance, as soon as an alarm is
triggered, video recording starts automati-
cally and the situation is logged into the
database. At the same time, a display of
the live image lets operators check whether
the alarm is genuine. Using a powerful,
vector-based graphic engine that supports
AutoCAD drawings, Cerberus DMS lets
users navigate through the individual loca-
tions of their facility.
Cerberus DMS has been tested and
shown to be compliant with country-
specific standards such as UL864.
Enhanced productivity with fast
and easy engineering
Thanks to its innovative online engineering
capabilities, configuring Cerberus DMS is
fast and easy. A simple toggle switches
the system from operational mode to
engineering mode, with no system inter-
ruptions. Configuration changes are im-
mediately available – there’s no need to
start external tools, download the updated
configuration and wait for the changes to
apply. Remote engineering reduces the
need for customer site visits to fix configu-
ration errors.
A truly flexible and scalable solution
Should a customer’s requirements change,
Cerberus DMS creates additional business
opportunities thanks to its high scalabili-
ty. From small to large, a wide range of
deployments can be supported ‒ with
server and clients running either on the
same or on separate machines.
Open platform for smooth integration
Cerberus DMS is an open platform devel-
oped to keep pace with changing tech-
nology. It works with a variety of proto-
cols and IT standards, including OPC,
SNMP, BACnet, Modbus, Web Services
and ONVIF cameras.
1. Summary bar shows unacknowledged and
total events currently in the system by category
2. The object tree displays all devices and applications;
selecting an object immediately provides detailed
information
3. The primary pane shows additional information
about a selected device – for example, the graphical
location of a fire detector in alarm mode
4. The contextual pane provides detailed data about
a selected device, including its current state, and
immediate access to available commands
5. Related items provide easy access to more informa-
tion about a selected device, which is visualized in
the secondary pane – for example, a detailed report,
additional graphics and a data sheet
6. The secondary pane shows detailed information
about a selected device – for example, a real-
time camera view of an event
