Siemens releases latest software version for the Granta Security Management System

Siemens Security Products is please to announce the latest software release for the Granta Security Management System. This latest release includes additional functional for the DVR and CCTV Modules and increased Operating System and SQL support.

DVR Manager:
Granta's DVR Manager module provides integration with the legacy Eventys Pro Digital Video Management System. It is used to trigger digital video recording (and pre-recording) of events such as the use of valid or invalid cards, door alarms, etc. Recorded sequences can be played back through the main access control screens (including Alarm Graphics).

CCTV Manager:
The CCTV Manager module provides CCTV system control directly from within Granta via a virtual keyboard. Further, as Granta monitors events within the access control system it can send commands via RS232 directly to the CCTV system without operator intervention, which is very useful for alarm events.
In addition the CCTV manager now also supports IP cameras.
