KronosNET - alarm monitoring software, for any size CMS / ARC
Praesidia Alliance is an international distributor for Next!
KronosNET is a monitoring station management platform. The system integrates hundreds of devices from different manufacturers in a single, consistent environment. In addition to the reception, analysis, visualisation and archiving of incoming events (alarm, video, GPS, etc.), the system also supports administrative activities related to the servicing and inventory of devices, billing services and customer support and contracts. This product is used by hundreds of surveillance companies around the world to monitor anything from a few to many thousands of accounts simultaneously.

Versatility
The areas of activity supported by this software include surveillance, service department management and billing for contracted services. The system communicates with the user via all modern channels of communication including: applications, the internet, text messages, email, and mobile phone apps. Integration
The application integrates the following signals into a single monitoring environment: robbery and burglary, fire alarms, CCTV, location of individuals and vehicles, as well as analogue measurements for environmental monitoring, vending machines and the work of field personnel. The system receives and processes events in more than 100 different protocols received via switched and radio links, GSM, and WAN/LAN. |

Automation
The action mechanism provides a unique solution for combining different forms of monitoring into one coherent whole. Has the system been disarmed without a guard present? Has a car not shown up at a building within a specified time after an alarm ? Has a user not confirmed alarm cancellation via text message? Should a service document be automatically issued or an email sent in response to a specific event? Now you can decide how the system will react to a sequence of events that you yourself define. Our simple script language covers a whole range of functionality, from creating the conditions of a reaction based on any pre-defined signals and events, to the order of their occurrence, interaction with the user, and types of response. Once a series of conditions have been met, this can result in the triggering of an alarm, the sending of a text message or email, the creation of a service document, the controlling of an account device, or another automatic reaction selected from the wide range available in the program.

Cooperation
KronosNET takes you to a higher level of networking. Separate KronosNET installations can be combined together so subcontractors can provide services to group of customers. For the duration of an alarm, the subcontractor receives information about the events that they need handle. It is no longer necessary to enter data for the sub-contractor as all the information is transmitted from the main system installation. This solution also protects data, as it is stored only by the client. Meanwhile, subcontractors' actions are passed in the opposite direction to the client in the form of reports. In addition, end users have access to selected data via the web with the option of editing, which makes mutual contact and data management significantly easier. What is more, our mobile phone applications significantly increase the convenience of communication with the system for service teams, response units, and end users.

Architecture
The three-layer architecture, which is standard for our solutions, encrypted communication, secure buffers stored in permanent memory, and transmission of differentiation between modules, are only some of the mechanisms that render the KronosNET system safe and efficient even for a large number of accounts under surveillance. The communication mechanism that is used allows for significant system dispersal even via poor communication channels, which ensures a high level of comfort. The architecture model employed also allows the system to be easily expanded to include additional functionality without affecting existing mechanisms, while making it possible for information to be exchanged with external applications.

The Arrow family of communicators by Next! are designed to transmit signals from alarm systems to monitoring stations. The devices are available in three versions: - Mini working only on GSM channels (GPRS/SMS), Solo - working only on GSM channels (GPRS/SMS), and Duo - using both GSM (GPRS/SMS) and LAN channels.

The built-in DTMF socket as well as compliance with Ademco 4/2, Contact ID, and SIA protocols, enables integration with a wide range of control panels. What's more - with 8 (selectable NO or NC) onboard zones the installer can also connect older alarm systems to the communicator. Arrow is additionally equipped with 2 relay outputs and 2 tamper inputs. The device is available in two versions: Solo - GSM (GPRS/SMS) and Duo - LAN with backup GSM (GPRS/SMS), both of which can be equipped with audio transmission. Compatibility with a variety of monitoring software packages in addition to the manual signal code setting option for the 8 onboard zones, enables the communicator to work with virtually any monitoring station.
