WHAT IS C4?

The C4 System is a unique software solution for complex security management of buildings. It integrates technologies in the area of physical security from various manufacturers into one complex solution. It interconnects access control, intrusion, video, fire protection, or parking system and offers complete operation service over the buildings. You can actively control and intuitively manage large number of devices from one place and in the real-time.

HOW DO WE CLASSIFY THE C4 SYSTEM?

We can use several categories while speaking of building security. The categories PSIM and ICAM are typically used within the broader context of security management and access control.

PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) aggregates applications for integration, monitoring and control of security systems from various manufacturers. PSIM systems provide a centralized platform for monitoring, analyzing, and responding to security events and incidents in real-time.

ICAM (Identity, Credential, and Access Management) is a management of identities, credentials and access rights. Many available systems of this category can only handle the registration of employees’ identifiers to the central database. C4 expands this standard by management of identities and access rights definitions along with automatic configuration of those data to individual devices from different manufacturers.

Both PSIM and ICAM play critical roles in modern security ecosystems, with PSIM addressing the orchestration and management of physical security systems, while ICAM focuses on identity management and access control aspects. The C4 System is a great example of integration of these two categories which contributes to a more robust and cohesive security posture within an organization.

CENTRAL MANAGEMENT

Security management is currently mostly implemented per each system separately. Each device is controlled and monitored by its own software. While managing an access, alarm, fire and camera system, the customer has to manage 4 separate applications. As a result, the operator deals with multiple software while solving a single incident. What solution does System C4 offer for such situations? The C4 System replaces to its maximum extent, the original vendor’s software and provides central management of connected devices. With the C4 System, the operator only watches one monitor, operates one software, one configuration and pays one security system maintenance cost.

MULTIUSER MANAGEMENT

The C4 is a multi-user system allowing very precise setting of permission rights to individual information in the system, according to the extent of its user's responsibility. Due to its robust and high-performance authorization module, several strategies of permissions setting might be approached: It is fairly easy to permit the necessary functions to a security manager, reception or remote support engineer in C4 using the predefined roles typically at small scale installations. An extended detail C4 System permissions settings are available, down to the level of individual detectors or cameras for complex installations.

BUILDING SECURITY BY SINGLE SOFTWARE

In addition to standard security technologies, C4 currently integrates most of the building automation technologies. Various kinds of access control systems are usually deployed at different buildings, such as access to elevators, or parking systems. Standard Building Automation industry protocols, such as Modbus, BACnet and others are supported in C4 System, enabling connection of common building technologies as lighting, air conditioning or heating.

C4 as an open platform allows integration of any technology or system installed in the building.

WHAT ROLES DOES C4 PLAY IN SECURITY TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT?

It performs the following basic tasks:

• 1. Central database

  C4 System is collecting the information from all events that occurred on every connected device into one database. Central history management from all devices provides a huge source of information for reporting and security analysis.

• 2. Monitor and Control

  Continuous 24/7 monitoring of the security systems technical statuses, security status, or availability of individual devices. The C4 System also allows the operator to control the equipment via commands.

• 3. Device configuration

  The new generation of the System C4 introduces the full device configuration directly from the C4 System.

• 4. Access rights management

  The software ensures a central management of access authorizations for access control and alarm systems by unified central system.

SO…

The C4 System easily adapts to specific requirements, regardless of whether it is a combination of multiple brands from different producers or a simple integration of any system. This open and independent software solution makes life easier and increases the feeling of security every day for thousands of users around the world.

The special modular structure in which lies the hidden timelessness of the C4. Do you need small, simple installations or demanding and complex solutions? C4 adapts to any requirements.
