TridiumTalk: Niagara 4.6 System Database Feature Webinar — Nov 8, 2018, 11:00 AM, EST

by 1 Comment

The release of Tridium’s Niagara 4.6 introduced the ability for a Niagara Supervisor to examine all the Niagara devices in the Niagara Network and pull up Entity data (tags and relations) into a new System Database. During this TridiumTalk, a high level view will be provided of the System Database feature including setup and configuration of the system indexer.

Learn how Entity data in remote stations will be available at the Supervisor upon executing a System Index. System level hierarchies and search can also utilize this remote Entity data. Finally, learn about the enhancements to Niagara Virtual components, including new virtual schedule HTML5 views. This new view could eliminate the need for master schedules in the Supervisor.

Be sure to register today to attend the TridiumTalk on how to use the System Database feature using the latest version of Niagara.

Date: November 8, 2018 Time: 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time (New York, UTC-05:00)

REGISTER NOW!

Learn from Rick Weisensale and software engineer Scott Hoye how to get started with System Database. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions during a live Q&A.

If you have any questions, please contact your Tridium account manager or Niagara partner. We look forward to you benefiting from the new Niagara 4.6 features!

Normalization for area and degree-days, baseline capability, and time filter block enhancements round out the new features for this release. These features enhance the ability to compare facilities against each other, and compare current energy usage with baseline values.

Available marketing collateral for this VYKON Integrated Analytics Release include:

• Release Notes

• Data Sheet

• Brochure

ANNOUNCING VYKON ENTERPRISE SECURITY RELEASE 2.4

Now the full-featured enterprise security solution proven in previous Niagara versions is available on the powerful Niagara 4.6 platform.

With VYKON Enterprise Security, you can seamlessly integrate access control, identity, video surveillance, intrusion and visitor management systems with other building automation services such as lighting, HVAC and energy management all using powerful Niagara framework capabilities.
VYKON Enterprise Security features have been migrated from the AX platform to the Niagara 4.6 platform. These features include advanced threat-level management, integrated photo ID, LDAP database integration, and ISOM database API with Easy Lobby integration.

VYKON Enterprise Security 2.4 licensing is consistent with the Niagara 4 licensing scheme. Just use the same JACE 8000 and Supervisor parts you use for building automation applications and add security licensing. VYKON Enterprise Security devices are excluded from global capacity licensing.

ANNOUNCING VYKON VIDEO DRIVERS FOR NIAGARA 4.6

Milestone Xprotect® Professional, Professional+ and Corporate NVR and Axis® camera drivers are now available on the Niagara 4.6 platform. These drivers enhance your building security and situational awareness when used in conjunction with VYKON Enterprise Security or with a Niagara building automation system. When used with VYKON Enterprise Security, these video drivers enhance security by tagging video clips to events such as “Door Forced” alarms and by providing visual verification for building access. When cameras are associated with alarm points in either VYKON Enterprise Security or building automation applications, the alarm console allows the user to access both live and recorded video associated with an event directly from the alarm console.

Licensing for video drivers has been modified from the AX version to accommodate the high camera density typical of current video surveillance systems. VYKON video drivers are excluded from global capacity licenses.

The following collateral for VYKON Enterprise Security 2.4 and Video Drivers is now available:

• Enterprise Security 2.4 and Video Drivers Power Point

• Enterprise Security 2.4 FAQ

• Enterprise Security 2.4 and Video Drivers Release Notes

• Enterprise Security Data Sheet
