UNIFICATION
In the previous editions of the C4 Newsletter, we were already talking about the unique features of the C4 System. With the emergence of many integration security systems in the market it is important to mention why is our software holding a special position in building security management. The C4 System mainly deals with the features of unification, integration, and centralization. It is designed to help its customers in these specific areas by always going one step further in giving maximum comfort and security. In this article, you will learn about its specific ability to unify different security devices into one interface.

WHAT DOES UNIFICATION MEAN?
Every security device has its own software with various specifications. We are referring to its graphical representation, such as icons or statuses; device control via specific commands; or data definition, like logs or events. Not only can every device within the same category have different features, but every manufacturer might also call them differently. Therefore, managing all devices in a unified manner can get very complex.
We can set an example with detectors. Each model has a variable set of statuses and even the same statuses are called differently in some models as in the picture below. The detectors differ not only in the name of the feature they have but also in the number of functionalities they offer.
The C4 System is very helpful and useful as it unifies the different devices.
You may encounter a situation where the project needs to unify the same type of devices but from different manufacturers. An example can be a project where each building has door controllers from different brands, each door controller with specific software. Since they may differ in graphical items, events, statuses, and commands, this might be very challenging to manage within one integration system. How is the C4 System handling these kinds of situations?

UNIFICATION IN GAMANET
You might be used to the C4 Standard which is a pre-defined set of statuses for each type of technology. If the functionality was missing the software added it automatically and if it was extra it was simply not supported. In the example below there are 2 features set as a standard – bypass and alarm – therefore, each detector has these exact features.

But, with the emergence of the new generation of the C4 System, the unification characteristic of the software becomes as user-friendly as possible. Now you can be in control and change the unification functionality of the software according to your needs. If your devices have fewer statuses than the C4 Standard (as Detector 2 in the example below) you can simply use it without the missing status. On the other hand, if your device has more features (as Detector 1 in the example) you have a free hand to integrate the extra statuses.

The C4 System can be tailor-made respecting your requirements. Our dedication in Gamanet is always putting the comfort of our customers in the first place. We took into consideration the specific requirements of our customers and implemented them into the new generation of the C4 System, Transformers. The openness, scalability, customization, and overall performance of the System were improved to make the usage according to your needs.
