SECURITHOR handles Web Access for subscribers, staff, salesmen or installers.
Select which services you want to deliver to your subscribers.

Staff can check on the operation with STM. This mobile web viewer gives you some of SECURITHOR metric right into smart phones or tablets. You know right away the traffic level of the last 24 Hours, the number of emails and ams as well as which operators are connected at the moment. A simplified traffic windows give you the last events right away and lets you scroll down in time.

Installers can use the WEBOPERATOR to access accounts they are working on. They can put an account in test mode for a limited time to check their installation without bothering operators. The normal status is restored automatically after tests are concluded. Installers only have access to their own accounts. You can set their permission levels to prevent them from making changes to the accounts information.

Salesmen and resellers can use WEBOPERATOR to fill accounts directly with customer while on site. All they need is internet access, from a laptop or a tablet such as an iPad. All access rights can be limited for them and they can be prevented from looking at accounts they do not own.

Major customers with multiple accounts can either have a group access from WAM or a more complete access to their accounts using WEBOPERATOR. They can be prevented from looking at other accounts and their access level can be limited.

Subscribers have their own tool: WAM. The Web Access Module allows subscribers to view their account info, alarm history, service orders and armed/disarmed status from their PC, tablets or smartphones. The Web  Access Module is on a dedicated web server so request from subscribers are never made directly to your SECURITHOR for enhanced security and performance. Inquire to MCDI staff about the various Web Hosting possibilities for WAM.

WAM, the Web Access Module

MCDI developed WAM for SECURITHOR to sustain traffic from thousands of subscribers.

Subscribers consult data on the WAM server which is separated from SECURITHOR. This web server can handle request from thousands of subscribers each looking to info such as ‘Is my system Armed or Disarmed?’.  This effectively shield your SECURITHOR because NO access is made directly to SECURITHOR by subscribers.

WAM offers many features to your subscribers. They can view their alarm history, check the armed or disarmed status of their alarm systems, find when is the next scheduled opening/closing of their alarm system, view Service Orders pending/completed and even write a service request. WAM is sure to add value to your Monitoring Central and distinguish it from competition.

POWERED BY PostgreSQL

While designing SECURITHOR and WAM we  selected PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL was our choice for WAM version 1. Many of the WAM v1 are still running uninterrupted, yes 100% uptime,  after 2 years or operation.

PostgreSQL is perfect for the job with many replication possibilities. PostgreSQL is fast, effective and stable when responding to surge from your subscribers.  SQL respects the 5 S we are looking for: Strength, Stability, Scalability, Security and Speed. 

PostgreSQL is fast, able to handle big data and it’s open source. Choosing PostgreSQL keeps acquisition costs down because you don’t have to purchase a pricy SQL license on top of your CMS software.  PostgreSQL runs on all major operating systems including Windows, Linux, Unix and Mac OS X.

WAM with your image.

WAM is designed to reflect your Central Station identification. Starting by your logo, your name and your content.

It’s made to allow easy changes to news, about us, locations and help pages by just uploading a text file. It’s easy to make changes to the web pages.
