The Intellect is an integrated security system with distributed architecture. The system has been developed to provide efficient means of security to middle-sized and large-scale objects working in various fields of industry. It includes a complete range of data acquisition and processing, tracking, search, notification, and other features of rule-based, open-ended and object-oriented architecture. The system allows all of the subsystems to come together under the same logic that efficiently widens the flexibility of the system. The system comprises a number of object sets with specified attributes. Attributes define features of existing hardware or modules. For instance, “camera” objects always defines a camera with a specified set of parameters, irrespective of its type, connection interface, physical location, etc. Object types fall into 3 groups: The person-oriented system interface is built in consideration of real-space perception. Instead of complicated hierarchical menus, our team developed intuitive rules of objects The Intellect system integrates the whole security system into a single software controlled complex with wide range of capabilities: Systems can easily be adjusted at any time, and there are not any limitations on the size or scale of objects and system operation logic.
