DESCRIPTION
SECURITHOR is MCDI SP new Monitoring Software dedicated for Control Rooms or Security departments who want to process signals from Alarm Panels.

SECURITHOR will be at ease if you have 50 accounts or if you have 50000. SECURITHOR first purpose is to automatize the alarm processing Central stations. SECURITHOR can be configured to operate from fully manual to fully automatic.

SECURITHOR is a powerful database management tool for Control room operators, presenting them with alarm, account and action info to process signals processed by alarm receivers.

SECURITHOR is also an administrative tool for your Central station to prepare reports, service tickets and analyse alarm traffic.

With more than 10 years experience in making monitoring software and receivers, MCDI Security Products staff knows how to make EASY TO USE. Our SAMM and WinSAMM software are in operation in thousands of Centrals in more than 65 countries and 14 languages.

SECURITHOR is a new software built on our knowledge of making SAMM and WinSAMM. It's made to minimize operators training yet giving you enough options to provide your Alarm Central with a business edge.

SECURITHOR is scalable from one station to many in a network and can be tailored by the license owner to operate Monitoring stations from County sheriff offices to large scale Central Alarm Stations.

VERSIONS
SECURITHOR will be available as ST1 single station version (March/April 2008) and STnet network version (July/August 2008).

Single station (ST1)
ST1 works on a single computer running Windows XP or VISTA. It comes with all necessary SQL tools and the SECURITHOR application itself in an easy to follow installer package. Installer and SECURITHOR are available in several languages.

STnet
SECURITHOR Network version will be based on architecture requiring a server. This server works with a Linux operating system while the connected workstation are windows XP or VISTA.

The Linux operating server, SQL engine and the SECURITHOR software will be distributed by MCDI SP on CD with easy to follow installer. A normal PC or a dedicated server can be used depending on your needs.

Once the STnet server is installed and configured, stations are installed on Windows computers. Server license price is the same for all configurations and stations are priced per station with special discount for 5 or more stations. You select the number of stations you need at the start and install more stations only as you need them. Stations are paid when they are installed. Stations are connected to the server over ethernet.

STmulti
A special multi site version is planned for end 2008. With a Central server or redundant synchronized remote servers, stations can be installed at remote sites to increase redundancy or to follow time zones.

UPGRADING FROM SAMM AND WINSAMM
It's possible to get special discounted prices for SECURITHOR if you already own SAMM or WinSAMM licenses. Ask your dealer or contact MCDI Security Products about special upgrade prices directly from our quotation form.

Upgrading from SAMM 10.3 or from WinSAMM is done by updating to a special WinSAMM EXPORT version. This special version will be published in February 2008 for the sole purpose of converting SAMM/WinSAMM database and exporting it to SECURITHOR.

If you have an older SAMM 8 or early version 10.1, you should contact MCDI SP support group to arrange database conversion.

Tools for database conversion will be available with version 1.2. Due to the numbers of database and complexity, the tools are delivered 'as it is' without warranty and are supported on a best effort basis for holders of yearly support contracts and license holders still covered by a support period.

TECHNOLOGY
SQL for SECURITHOR
In designing SECURITHOR, we made sure to use SQL engine and database. SQL respects the 4 S we we are looking for: Strength, Stability, Security and Speed.

SECURITHOR is using PostgreSQL. This SQL engine has been around for 15 years and it is supported by a large community of developers. But the best is that it is free to use so you do not have to add a pricey Microsoft SQL of MySQL license to the cost of your Monitoring software.

Coding of the software application is accomplished with Visual Studio from Microsoft using the C sharp (C#) language. We used these tools to insure the best compatibility possible with Microsoft operating systems and to have a highly sophisticated graphic user interface. C# and Visual Studio also give us the possibility to add more tools and extend options of SECURITHOR in the future
