The incident management application (incident manager) is mainly used on two screens. The first screen will allow you to locate the teams available to intervene on the incident in question, locate the incident precisely (map) and visualise the systems linked to the incident.
The second screen will allow you to manage the incident (screen below), i.e. you will receive in real time all the incidents of your buildings with useful information such as the date, the name of the manager, etc... assign the incident to a manager and pre-close the incident if the operator has not finished solving it (record the procedure). To know that another operator can take over and close the incident. All these elements are 100% customisable and you will be able to remove and add steps and information according to your own security needs.
Finally, you will be able to have a real-time view of your incidents thanks to the cameras and see the actions taken on the incidents thanks to the procedure sheets. Once completed, you can send the closed form to other parties and also send it to the security manager.
All the information related to the incident is stored in a database and you will be able to search for information that will be useful if an investigation is carried out (example : give the time of the incident, the date, etc. to the police following a theft).
