Hardware
Utilising a PC server running Linux® based Central Station Software,
operator control is either by dedicated Q Hub™ KBD or UI driven using
a conventional QWERTY keyboard and mouse.
Highly scaleable, the system is central server distributed so ‘n’ number
of operators can log on to the system at any given time. Inbound alarm
calls are automatically distributed to the 'next' available operator.
All workstations are fully ‘lock’ downable and are user password
protected for enhanced security.

High Quality Images
On the activation of an alarm at the remote site, a pre alarm
