An event is a situation that requires action in response to an incident. Receipt of a call or data message initiates an event. An event has a defined geographic or physical location and can escalate or deescalate. Different types of events cause different response workflows (SOPs). An event ends when any potentially required response operations have been completed.

When you click an event button, an event is created whose predefined operation procedure steps can be processed quickly and simply.

Event-based processing is a mode which can be activated and deactivated. All messages are assigned to a filter and are subdivided according to their processing status with regard to event processing. In the default Message List view, only messages to be checked are displayed. Event-based processing is especially useful for large subsystems or configurations.

An external system is a system or device connected to the management system. It provides messages, state updates or additional functionality, for example alarm system, video management station or email server.

All systems that can be connected to Siveillance Control through an interface. That are for example intrusion detection systems or email server.

Subsystem containers are used as folders for grouping OIS elements in the System Tree. The subsystem container enables the switching on and off of all subsystems placed within it with a single action of the context menu.

Detectors or detector groups can be assigned to a sum detector. Sum detectors can be configured flexibly. Thus, the most critical status of all assigned detectors can be displayed.

Triggers or user-defined events are events that are configured to perform predefined actions, for example, starting or stopping video recordings when you receive an alarm.

A unit can be either a Cu-Handler unit, a Vu-Handler unit or a PLC unit.

The Vi Editor (Visual Editor) is a screen editor for Linux, Unix and other Unix-like operating systems. It exclusively uses the keyboard and provides a very efficient interface for editing programs and scripts.

A virtual machine is a software construct that acts as container for installing and running conventional operating systems on a server hardware managed by a hypervisor. It is an isolation boundary between the operating systems running on the shared hardware. [SOURCE: ABHILASH, G B / FITZHUGH, Rebecca (2016): Learning Vmware vSphere.

VMware ESXi (Elastic Sky X Integrated) is an operating system-independent hypervisor based on the VMkernel operating system that interfaces with agents that run on top of it. ESXi is a type 1 hypervisor, meaning it runs directly on system hardware without the need for an operating system.

VMware vSphere is a suite of core infrastructure solutions that help manage and monitor a virtual data center. VMware vSphere includes the VMware ESX/ESXi hypervisor, a type 1 hypervisor that functions as the virtualization server, the VMware vCenter Server, which manages vSphere environments, the VMware vSphere Client, which is used to install and manage virtual machines through the hypervisor, and VMware VMFS, the file system component from VMware.
