Cortech Developments Launches Security Management Suite - Datalog 5

New operating platform on Windows 7 allows organizations to integrate their building, fire and security control technology into a single, easy to operate, integrated solution.

Leading software developer of Integrated Building, Fire & Security Management Solutions - Cortech Developments - announces the launch of Datalog 5 for Windows 7. The new solution is the culmination of an intensive development process and is considered a major release by the company. It will not only provide customers with an integrated solution for managing their security systems which is easy to use, it will also give users a wealth of new features/functionality.

Mark Thomas, Sales Director at Cortech Developments says, "We have put great emphasis on an enhanced, more intuitive, user interface thus making it easier for control room operators and managers to work with Datalog 5. Many of our customers need to combine integration of Building, Fire and Security operations for multiple sites into a central management suite whilst still being able to  monitor and manage each sub system such as Access Control, Perimeter & Intruder Sensors, Intercoms, CCTV cameras & DVRs, Radio Paging, Building Alarms  and more, straight from the system.  It is therefore essential for users to have a fast overview with an easy-to-operate Graphical User Interface (GUI) thus ensuring that incident response time is absolutely minimal. Colour graphics provide clear and concise location reporting, hence eliminating the need for extensive operator training. The management system can further be configured to automatically respond to events, even when the operator is away from the system. Navigation around the system is simplified by pointing or clicking on the graphical display to zoom IN or OUT of a building, area or floor plan. The system also allows for ‘USER' set up and configuration PORTALS which can either be outlined, shaded or invisible. Outside of that, there is a whole range of additional features /functionality all designed to make life easier and more efficient for the users."
