1 Write up on PSIM PHYSICAL SECURITY INFORMATION MANAGEMENT Physical security information management (PSIM) is a technology solution that provides a platform and applications created to integrate multiple unconnected security applications and devices and control them through one comprehensive user interface. It is one of the rapidly growing technology categories on security management with the automation and reasoning capabilities of computing. PSIM solution is designed and optimized to integrate and analyze information from traditional physical security devices and systems, and present the necessary data to automatically or manually resolve the security situations in real time. It collects and correlates events from existing disparate security devices and information systems to empower personnel to identify and proactively resolve emergency situations and potential security breaches. PSIM integration enables numerous organizational benefits, including increased control, improved situation awareness, and management reporting. Ultimately, the solutions allow organizations to reduce their costs through improved efficiency and to improve security through increased intelligence. It also ensures organizations the independence from various security devices / systems manufactures lock in strategy. A complete PSIM software suite has six key capabilities: 1. Collection: Device management independent software collects data from any number of disparate security devices or systems. 2. Analysis: The system analyzes and correlates the data, events, and alarms, to identify the real situations and their priority. 3. Verification: PSIM software presents the relevant situation information in a quick and easily-digestible format for an operator to verify the situation. 4. Resolution: The system provides Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), step-by-step instructions based on best practices and an organization s policies, and tools to resolve the situation. 5. Reporting: The PSIM software tracks all the information and steps for compliance reporting, training and potentially, in-depth investigative analysis. 6. Audit trail: The PSIM also monitors how each operator interacts with the system, tracks any manual changes to security systems and calculates reaction times for each event. A key differential between PSIM based integration and other forms of physical security system integration is the ability for a PSIM platform to connect systems at a data level, contrasting other forms of integration which interface a limited number of products. PSIM allows use of open technologies which are compatible with a large number of manufacturers. These PSIM product offer more opportunities for expansion and can reduce implementation costs through greater use of existing equipment.

2 PSIM solution is deployed to centralize information to single or multiple control hubs. These are referred to as control rooms or command and control centers. Security systems typically integrated into a PSIM solution which includes and not limited to ; Access control systems CCTV Fire detection Large scale displays Intruder alarm systems Perimeter intruder detection systems Radar based detection GIS mapping systems Audio/video door communication Automated barriers & bollards SCADA Building management systems Indellect Technologies take this opportunity to introduce our PSIM Solution and also exhibits our key strength in the field of PSIM implementation. centralize : our PSIM solution which is a multi protocol operable solution deployed to CCTV surveillance systems, fire and intrusion systems, access control, building automation, SCADA & automation projects. AppVision is developed in France by PRYSM SOFTWARES. Their First deployment was in 1998 after 2 years R&D Currently over 1900 deployments: across globe (Military bases, Banks, Warehouses, Factories, Retail stores, Refineries, office buildings As per the recent statistics of 2011 there is a new AppVision deployment every 1.3 days.
