CONXTD’s alarm decoding engine has been extended to identify all Areas within an intruder alarm system, allowing you to track individual area activity more effectively.

Arming and Disarming Area’s within your alarm system will be tracked in the Area Viewer, simplifying the process of checking a site’s status using CONXTD’s colourful dashboard and icon library!

The Area Viewer will automatically appear against your sites when CONXTD detect area activity.

Clicking on the Areas button reveals the Area Viewer, which breaks down the status of each area within your intruder alarm system using CONXTD's icon and colour library!

The Area Viewer is broken down into 2 sections

The top section shows the status of Area 01 (Perimeter), giving an overall site status.

Areas shows the breakdown of each specific area within your alarm system. We also note the date of the most recent activity within that area, and the time it occurred.

Partial Open and Partial Close are terms used across the CONXTD platform specifically to describe the status of an Area.

This an an automatic feature that will activate after we receive specific Area alarms from your intruder alarm system. In short, no set-up necessary!

In order for area tracking to work we require the Area to be labelled as 'ri' in the SIA.

For example:

[#123456|Nti06:04/ri01/OP|A UNSET PHIL]

[#123456|Nti06:04/ri1/OP|A UNSET PHIL]

How areas are processed

As standard, the system treats Area 1 as the perimeter / Full Set & Unset (if this is not the case for your site this can be remapped).

Events such as the below will be processed as a 'full' Open / Close and toggle the main site status.

[#123456|Nti06:04/ri01/OP|A UNSET PHIL]

When we get an event which is for Area 2 or above, we process as a Partial Open / Close. This then does not affect the main site status and instead shows in the Area section shown in the screenshots above.

[#123456|Nti06:05/ri02/OP|A UNSET TOM]

Remapping Area 1

As standard, the system treats Area 1 as the perimeter / Full Set & Unset. However if this is not correct for your site, we can re-map this, for example if Area 7 is your perimeter, we will apply a rule which will process Area 7 as the permieter and Area 1 will then be treated as Partial Open / Close.
