Monitoring Centers
Monitoring Centers or Control Centers , also called Control Rooms , are spaces where a series of operators monitor data or video to react immediately to alarms, emergencies or events using information systems to speed up their interpretation.
With more than 300 Monitoring Centers installed in Mexico, Central and South America, Grupo Covix has become the main provider of C5 Monitoring Centers in Mexico, Honduras, Colombia and the Dominican Republic .
How to set up a Monitoring Center?
Each Monitoring Center has at least one Video Wall on which high definition, computing and video signals are displayed according to the user's needs. This Video Wall can be composed of video cubes or screens for Monitoring Centers with the smallest separation, whether of LED, LCD or PDP technology . In addition to displaying information, a Collaboration System can be integrated with specialized software that can send and receive data, video and audio between different rooms, centers or video walls .
How does a Monitoring Center work?
By integrating all of this equipment and software, the Supervisor of the Operators of a Monitoring and Control Center can collaborate and send signals from the different cameras that captured an incident to a Crisis Room or War Room . It can also be sent to remote sites located in other buildings or other cities, and these in turn can respond in real time, all with compression and encryption that always maintains data security. Visualization, hand in hand with collaboration, are elements that will impact the operation and functionality of the Center.
An example of a Monitoring and Control Center is the Command, Control, Communications and Computing Centers, also called C4's and the Command, Control, Communications, Computing and Coordination Centers better known as C5 Monitoring Centers. These Centers can operate at 3 levels: municipal, state and federal, and are kept in operation 24/7 under strict rules and procedures that lead them to reduce their emergency response times to a minimum. To achieve this, high specification equipment is supplied, both audiovisual and Physical Security , supported by a specialized technical team always ready to provide the required maintenance.
