Desigo CC enables security systems like
access control, intrusion, and video sur-
veillance as well as perimeter systems to
work together intelligently ‒ allowing for
immediate and confident alarm verifica-
tion and a fast and accurate response.
How access control and video
surveillance work together
If an individual tries to gain access with a
blocked identification card, operators can
easily identify them because Desigo CC
allows access control devices like card
readers to be monitored and controlled.
If the operators recognize the card holder,
they can grant access.
Desigo CC’s anti-passback functionality
prevents a card from being used twice in
a row to gain access. Entries to and exits
from an anti-passback area must match,
otherwise subsequent access can be
denied.
How intrusion and video
surveillance work together
In the event of an intrusion, Desigo CC
immediately notifies the operators. Using
the integrated live video and the facility’s
floor plans, it displays where the alarm
was triggered. IP cameras help verify the
alarm and determine its cause. Connected
PTZ cameras can be moved remotely, so
operators can respond quickly to an event
without endangering themselves.
Events can also be recorded for investiga-
tions and to provide evidence. To facilitate
search and replay, information can be
added to a recording using tags and book-
marks. A meta data-driven smart search
enables easy location of video clips in the
video archive via a query and timeline,
reducing investigation time.
Open architecture
Desigo CC is an open platform developed
to keep pace with changing technology.
It works with various protocols and IT
standards, including OPC, SNMP, BACnet,
Modbus, Web Services and ONVIF cameras.

The information in this document contains general descriptions of technical options
available, which do not always have to be present in individual cases. The required
features should therefore be specified in each individual case at the time of closing
the contract. The document contains a general product overview. Availability can
