Cadgraphics will put you in control of every alarm, device, and panel on your site — no matter who manufactured them, or when they were installed. You'll be able to monitor all of your building technology in a single, streamlined interface, all from a standard personal computer.

With Cadgraphics, you can:

Monitor the safety of your entire site. Cadgraphics can read data from every alarm, device, and panel on your site, and display that information in a single, streamlined interface.

See fire, security, and building alarms as they come in, in real time. Cadgraphics automatically shows alarms and devices, color-coded by status, as they appear.

Locate those alarms automatically on site maps, floor plans, and even photos of your campus. You can use your existing CAD maps and floor plans — or any digital image, such as photos and drawings — as the backdrop for your Cadgraphics system.

Automatically pinpoint alarms and emergencies. Devices and alarms "blink" on maps and floor plans.

Prioritize alarms. In a wide-ranging crisis, Cadgraphics lets you know which alarms need immediate attention, by color-coding them and listing the most urgent alarms first.

See more than just alarms. With Cadgraphics, you can map and display the location of emergency exit signs, strobe lights, rescue equipment, or anything you'd like. Cadgraphics displays all of the information from every "smart" alarm and device in a facility, whether it's a fire alarm, security alarm, or a building control alarm. 

Include data from your HVAC and building control systems. Cadgraphics can access data from any "smart" alarm, device, or zone, and include it in its single, streamlined interface.

Access information for any number of buildings. Cadgraphics can display information from alarms and devices in any number of facilities — even an entire city. Information can be sorted by zone, group, building, floor, or area. That way, responders can see the big picture first, and then focus on any trouble spots.

Watch for patterns of alarm activity that could indicate intruders or vandals. Because both fire and security alarms appear on maps and floor plans in real time, you may be able to determine if they're being triggered by troublemakers.

See icons that represent every single alarm or device on maps or floor plans of your facility. Our  graphic icons are easy to read. Smoke detectors look like smoke detectors. Pull stations look like pull stations. And their color-coding make it easy to tell what state they're in: normal, trouble, or alarm.

Zoom in and out. Users can zoom in and zoom out of maps and floor plans with just a touch, so you can get a closer look at any area that needs attention.

Connect to closed-circuit video. Simply enter the location of any camera in your facility, and Cadgraphics will automatically display the closed-circuit video feed.

Link to important web sites. Let your staff have full access to the news and information they need, by linking directly to Internet sites for emergency news, HazMat information, and the like. Cadgraphics will open the websites you select, but keep your staff from surfing to non-work related sites.

See devices in standby, trouble, or alarm. Cadgraphics automatically displays the status of every alarm in your system, so you can tell whether you’re facing a true emergency, an alarm that needs routine maintenance, or an alarm that’s in normal standby mode.

Prioritize alarms. In a wide-ranging crisis, Cadgraphics’ lets you know which alarms need immediate attention, by color-coding them and listing the most urgent alarms first.

Get information that will help determine whether an alarm needs immediate attention. Cadgraphics can distinguish urgent alarm messages from routine "trouble" or "fault" conditions that represent minor problems. In either case, Cadgraphics will also display customized "Take Action" messages for your response team.

Get automatic emergency instructions. In any emergency, Cadgraphics automatically displays prioritized response suggestions — so responders will always know which steps to take first.

Access customized emergency instructions. Customizing your site’s emergency instructions is as easy as entering text into a word-processing document. If an employee on the third floor, for example, has a broken ankle, you can make a temporary note of his disability — and Cadgraphics will automatically notify police, fire, and rescue workers that he may need special help getting out of the building during an emergency.

Communicate in any language. With Cadgraphics, you can include information in any language — even languages like Russian and Chinese — as long as you have a True Type font that includes the alphabetical characters you need. Cadgraphics comes with hundreds of "Take Action" suggestions in both English and Spanish.

Keep notes and records. In addition to emergency instructions, you can add background notes and comments for your own reports and records, or for other people on your staff. You can even hyperlink to important information on the Internet or your corporate intranet site.

Standardize and update your facility's emergency procedures. Cadgraphics is easy to set up on your site — but as you input the information you need to customize your system, you'll find that you'll also be standardizing and updating emergency procedures for your entire facility. Any changes you make in the future will automatically be implemented system-wide, too.

Print post-event reports. Cadgraphics makes it simple to reconstruct emergency events after the fact, both to verify that the proper steps were taken and to improve future responses. Cadgraphics automates the review process by compiling second-by-second, minute-by-minute reports of alarms and events exactly as they occurred. Those reports can be printed and distributed with just the push of a button.

Print maps and floor plans. In addition to being a valuable addition to your safety and security system, Cadgraphics is a helpful resource for your building, grounds, and maintenance crew. You can add notes, comments, and informational hyperlinks about anything on your site.

Know that information is current. You'll know that your Cadgraphics system is always current, because Cadgraphics automatically learns when new devices like motion detectors and heat sensors are installed. Updating graphics and floor plans is as simple as dragging and dropping images on a computer screen. There's no need to call in specialized technicians to make changes to your Cadgraphics system.

Use your existing computer system, network, and printers. Cadgraphics works with standard personal computers, laptops, touch screen computers, printers, local area networks, and wireless networks. There's no need to invest in expensive new computer equipment.

Be trained in minutes. Cadgraphics is so intuitive that most people can understand and use the software without any special training.

But Wait, There's More ...

You can connect closed-circuit television and security camera images to your Cadgraphics system simply by adding the TCP/IP address of your camera to the database. With the hyperlink in place, you'll simply click on the floor plan. A new window will open on screen, and you'll see your TCP/IP data, streaming live and in real time.
