ADD-ON Modules

N.B. Most add-on modules require a license purchase. Features linked to add-on modules are only available if the module is purchased or included with your SECURITHOR license. Contact MCDI to verify if a specific feature is included.

Major Changes

  • Discontinuation of APS Systems: APS, APS+, and APS X systems were discontinued in early 2025. They will remain available until Android and iOS Store policies change.
    • Legacy APS systems will still be received and supported in SECURITHOR v2.
    • APS X is being replaced by Protecthor. Preferential upgrade pricing is available for current APS X users.
  • CAM Ultra Manufacturer Updates: Due to a lack of support or cooperation from certain manufacturers, Camect and Uniview are now deprecated to ‘as-is’ . Several manufacture feature support were changed in 2.7 due to feature update.

API and Odoo Plugin

A large rework of the API to update for changes in v2.7 database and the Odoo Plugin was performed with partner AARSOL, an Odoo integrator and reseller of SECURITHOR for 10 years.

 

Building Info System (BIS)

This represents major new development completed in partnership with the Kingfisher Company for their personalized UNIFI version of SECURITHOR. Kingfisher is a prominent manufacturer with a 60-year history of building FM-approved Fire Prevention, Radio, and Communication Equipment. To enhance our fire prevention capabilities and better serve college campuses and municipalities, we have partnered with Kingfisher to develop the new Building Info System (BIS) module.

The BIS module provides significantly more detail than what is traditionally found in a standard alarm account. It introduces building-specific cards (each linked to a zone) organized into dedicated tabs: Access, Building Characteristics, Fire, and Fire Equipment. Dispatchers and responders will now have a complete operational picture of each site, including critical building data not typically found in monitoring software. Furthermore, the Building Info System’s web interface empowers fire chiefs with a comprehensive overview of the intervention site.

Key features of BIS include:

  • LiveMap & Weboperathor 2 Integration: Seamless navigation between components; clicking icons in LiveMap or within a BIS building sheet allows you to jump directly to the corresponding component.
  • Data Management: BIS information can be managed and filed within Weboperathor 2 when both modules are installed.
  • Temporary Web Sharing: Users can share a temporary (1-hour) web link to a specific account or building.
  • Customization: Central stations can add custom building characteristics via manual entry.
  • Automation: These links can be included in automatic emails using the new {bshare} wildcard.

BIS Availability: BIS is a v3 module available as a preview or dedicated installation in version 2.7.1 upon purchase.

WARNINGS and Important recommendations

Note: Some items in the SECURITHOR Core change list reflect support for features that require specific add-on modules. The purchase of these modules or extra features is required to activate and benefit from them within the core application.

Update Requirements & Roadmap

  • Version Path: To update directly to v2.7.x, your starting version must be v2.5.3 or later.
  • Legacy Updates: Updates from versions prior to 2.5.3 require a multi-step “jump” process managed by MCDI Support and will incur a bridging fee.
  • Licensing: As of v2.5.0, a new license key is REQUIRED. Self-reinstallation will not function without a valid support plan and update rights in good standing with MCDI.

Hardware & Operating System Requirements

  • 64-bit Requirement: Starting with v2.6.0, 32-bit Windows is no longer supported. Only 64-bit operating systems are compatible.
  • Genuine Windows: A Genuine Windows 10/11 Pro installation is mandatory. Non-genuine/cracked versions of Windows are not supported as they are often incomplete and impede performance.
  • Dedicated Hardware: The ST1 or Server machine must be used solely for SECURITHOR. No other software should be installed on the machine.
  • Software Dependencies: Minimum requirement is .NET 4.6.2. However, upcoming video features (ONVIF, Sunell) will require .NET 4.8 (which is backward compatible).
  • RAM & Storage: * The minimum recommended RAM is now 16GB. Higher might be needed according to specific operations.
    • A high-speed SSD (for both read/write) is now a minimum requirement for production environments. NVM.e is highly recommended.
  • Video Handling: A dedicated video card is highly recommended for any installation using video features. On-board chipsets that share motherboard memory are insufficient.
    • If using Video Verification, an external disk for video storage is now recommended to prevent the primary SECURITHOR disk from filling up.

Integration & Installation Notes

  • Deprecated Manufacturers: Due to a lack of manufacturer cooperation, Camect and Uniview are now deprecated and provided “as-is.” They are no longer supported by MCDI.
  • Installer Prep: Ensure all Windows updates are fully installed on client PCs before running the installers or updaters of MCDI applications.
  • MCB Installation: The Mission Control Board (MCB) must be installed after the SECURITHOR update is completed.
  • License Locks: Certain Windows Updates may trigger a license lock. Should this occur, contact MCDI during business hours to refresh your key.

IMPORTANT: Database Backups

Every SECURITHOR v2 installation includes an automatic backup tool located in STnet > Tools > Backup.

  • Integrity: This tool produces an integral backup of the database required for restoration.
  • Frequency: Backups can be triggered manually or scheduled to run automatically once per day.
  • Off-site Storage: Crucial: Always save backups to a separate physical location or removable media. If your hard drive fails and both the database and the backup are on the same disk, recovery will be impossible.

Release & Rollout Schedule (v2.7.1)

  • January Rollout: Rollout begins with new installations, followed by STL, ST1, and STS (with database imports) in order of complexity.
  • Execution: Updates are performed solely by MCDI staff as part of an active support plan.
  • Time Allocation: A minimum support window is required for scheduling:
    • 1 Hour: STL or ST1 (without modules).
    • 2 Hours: Standard STS, STL or ST1 with modules
    • 3+ Hours: Complex or large-scale installations.

Please contact your MCDI representative to verify your update rights and schedule your session.

Updated: January 1st, 2026

N.B.:  This is not a contractual document.

  • and finally, a new column was added to the Partitions List: the last event received for the partition is listed so you can easily check when did an account last reported.

DT42v2
SECURITHOR

New integrations

New integration with Ultinous adds more alarms from video analysis. SECURITHOR CAM+ speaks with all 3 products: U-Safe, U-Alarm and U-Filter.  The 3 products from Ultinous report alarms from Motion Detection and Video Analysis to SECURITHOR with image confirmations.

Our Monitoreal integration was enhanced with a magic button opening the Monitoreal Security Assistant directly from the alarm processing image view.

Camera health checks by Ai-RGUS service are now available to STC camera listener. Ai-RGUS service checks your cameras and NVR and reports failures to SECURITHOR.  Their service covers many aspects of camera health: image quality, framing, space left in memory, etc…

We are thrilled to have the new Dahua AirShield compatible with DT42 but also to have SECURITHOR CAM+ module showing the images transmitted from PIRcam. These images can be sent to Verficathor push verifications as well.

VETTI panels are now supported in DT42 which reports to SECURITHOR 2.50.
