Video Configuration

The ARCO Platform features a built-in Video Service API enabling integration to third-party video cameras.

For advanced video surveillance requirements, ARCO Video Proxy Server is a stand-alone software solution designed to install within a closed network. The Video Proxy Server enables the integration with any third-party video system which are ONVIF compliant or supports RTSP streaming.

Configurable Dashboard enables the full control of video displays within the ARCO Platform.

Alarm Area Mode

In this mode, you use normal user access to go in and out of areas based on the users’ area role settings. Note this applies only to areas set for Limit Area and will only allow disarm or partial disarm when this setting is enabled. Arming this area only requires a single user.

Dual Alarm Area

In this mode when the keypad is set for single area login, and the area is configured for the dual user, the keypad will prompt for two (2) value users ( user ID /PIN ) to allow disarming of the single area. Disarming means disarm or partial. Any user can arm the area, and dual is not required.

Dual Supervise Alarm Area

This is same as dual alarm area except at least one of the users must be a supervisor.

Access Control Mode

In this mode, you use normal card access to go in and out of areas. The readers are assigned to do read valid cards and determine if two (2) valid cards are required to enter.

In all cases of dual area operation, the user counts are maintained, and people are tracked through the areas.

Dual User Area

ARCO Platform enables you to configure an area requiring a minimum of two (2) users present at a given time. The first person to enter will be prompted after valid entry for a dual user so that two (2) people will then be marked in the new dual user area. Any subsequent user can enter, and any user can leave so long as there are at least two (2) people present. When the last two (2) people leave, they will be prompted to both badges to leave.

Dual Supervisor Area

Similar to Dual User Area except at least one user has to be a supervisor.

Entry / Exit Time Attendance

For this mode of operation, when the out reader is used, the user is marked as being out of the building. This mode can also be used for Time Attendance; if the door category is In/Out, then the keypad readers will show the entry or exit message along with the Granted message to feedback to the user they are entering or leaving.

Profile Panels

Reader

Readers are used to perform user interactions on a door. The reader will inherit the properties of a Door for allowing users to present cards or enter pins. There is no need to have any schedules attached to a Reader.

Door Schedules

If there are no door schedules defined, then the door will be in a mode that allows cards to be used to access (normal mode operation). If there is a door schedule for locked defined and the time schedule is valid, then the door remains in a locked state. If there is a door schedule defined and the time period is invalid, then the door is in the normal state or the state defined by the unlocked schedule. The locked schedule overrides the unlocked schedule. If there is an unlocked schedule defined, then the time period for unlocking the door is checked, and if valid, the door will be set to the unlocked state. If neither the locked nor unlocked schedules are defined, then the door remains in the normal state and will allow access using the normal access control procedure.

Please refer to the Schedules section below for further details.

Door Access

For access control operation, there is also a time schedule defined to determine the behaviour of the readers attached to the door. If there is a time schedule defined for Card plus PIN, then the reader will prompt for PIN entry after a card is presented. If there is no schedule defined or the time period is not valid for card plus PIN, then the reader will check for the schedule Card or PIN, and if this is defined, then the reader will allow for entry of a PIN or the swipe of a card. If there is no Card of PIN schedule defined or the time period is not valid, then the reader will default to card only mode. There is a setting on the system that defines that the entry of PIN requires an ID to be also entered.
Commands can be sent to a door to Lock and Unlock. These commands will override the current door settings set by the schedules. If a command to Lock, a door is sent then the door will remain locked for either the duration passed in the command or if the duration is 0 then it will remain locked indefinitely. There should be a different event sent for the locked status to indicate that the door is locked by a command. To exit this command lock state, you need to send a restore to normal command or the timer expired on the lock command. The same logic applies to an Unlock command. An access command will momentarily open the door and do the same operation as if a valid card has been entered. When the restore to normal command or timer expired on the command action, then the door returns to the normal state of the state that is set by the schedule for locked or unlocked.

Area Configuration

The arm schedule is used to determine when the area is allowed to be disarmed and when the area is not allowed to be disarmed. If the time window is enabled, then this area is allowed to be disarmed. If this time window is disabled, then this area is not allowed to be disarmed. If an area is disarmed and the time window expires such that it is no longer allowed to be disarmed, then a late to close event is generated. There is a macro condition that is triggered when an area has a late to close. If a user is trying to disarm an area and the time window prevents them from disarming this area, then there should be a user group property to allow them to access this area outside hours. In this situation, the user will be granted access for a configured time window only. If the area schedule is set to 0, then this area is permanently armed by default. A user is allowed to extend the end window of the disarm period by using the keypad to select “extend disarm” which will extend the disarm period for an additional configurable time.
