AXIS Zipstream technology preserves all the important forensic detail you need, while lowering bandwidth and storage requirements by an average of 50% or more.

Unlike most compression technology, Zipstream doesn’t just limit bitrate. Instead, three kinds of intelligent algorithms ensure that relevant forensic information is identified, recorded and sent in full resolution and at full frame rate.

In other words, our proprietary Dynamic ROI, Dynamic GOP and Dynamic FPS work together in real-time to preserve faces, tattoos or license plate numbers and more.

The result? With Zipstream, you keep the resolution and the frame rate, and still store a whole lot less. So you save space – and money – without sacrificing valuable information.

Codec is an amalgam of the words compression & decompression. Compression is the process of reducing bandwidth and storage consumption.

Because each frame of recorded video contains many of the pixels that were in the previous frame, codecs compress video by only recording the pixels that changed between frames thereby reducing bandwidth consumption and processing power.

Category: Video Monitoring

A High Level Integration (HLI) is a system to system integration (i.e. in this instance much of the functionality of your Genetec Security Center, Avigilon Control Center™, Milestone XProtect® or Geutebruck G-Core VMS is connected by an API to our Video Monitoring Platform) rather than just a simple device integration (i.e. such as connecting to an NVR, via an IP address and receiving video streams from cameras).

HLIs require time and iteration to set-up due to the large number of custom settings that can affect the operation and performance of the integration.

Common HLI functionality includes:

  • GetConfig – automatically enrolls cameras, relays, alarms and audio devices on set-up into Immix, with no manual data entry required
  • Live Video – the ability to view live video from the VMSs cameras
  • Pre Alarm – Immix presents 10 seconds of video immediately prior to an alarm
  • Post Alarm – Immix records video after an alarm is received
  • Quality – the ability to change the image quality (i.e. resolution) of a selected camera
  • PTZ Controls – the ability to control pan, tilt and zoom functionality
  • Presets – the ability to select predetermined PTZ positions
  • Multiview – the ability to view multiple cameras at one time from the VMS
  • Relays – the ability to control relays within the VMS such as opening doors and gates
  • Attached Footage – integrations with support for attached footage receive still images or video footage at the point the alarm is triggered.
    This provides an instant point of reference for the alarm as the footage was created at the exact point the alarm was triggered.
  • Ecare – the ability to generate notifications if communication to an end device is lost. Connection is made by using the IP address and Port listed in the site setup and ensures that the port is listening.
  • Playback – the ability to choose a time in the past to view footage from. Integrations with Playback support can choose a time in the past to view video from, providing the footage has been stored. This service is an add-on
    and quoted on request only.

Not all HLIs have the same functionality. Check the page of the VMS you use for more detail.

The Milestone XProtect integration is an advanced system-to-system integration and is a VMS platform that allows a user to view live camera along with recorded camera footage, perform remote tasks such as relay activation/deactivation, perform audio communication and supports multiple alarm types. A variety of this functionality can be used via the Immix platform.

Features include:

  • GetConfig – GetConfig support allows the user to automatically obtain device details without having to input them manually. Input the IP, port, user and password as you usually would, and hit GetConfig and Immix will automatically grab the cameras, relays, alarms and audio devices (where applicable) without the need to input each of these one by one. This process only occurs at site setup. Further changes to the end device will not be kept up to date on Immix.
  • Live Video – This feature allows a live video to be loaded seamlessly within the interface with no need for extra configuration (apart from as listed on the dedicated support page).
  • Quality – Image resolution can be amended in the Immix interface, either during live view, or by setting a level during setup. In Live, select the Quality drop-down menu and choose the quality you require. The image will immediately switch to your selection.
  • PTZ Control – PTZ support allows the operator to maneuver the camera position, if the camera has this ability. By clicking and holding in the position of the live image where you wish to move the camera will perform this task. You can also use the zoom in and zoom out buttons below the live image.
  • Presets – If an integration supports PTZ then the device may also be able to predetermine preset positions for the camera including zoom.
  • Multiview – Multiview opens a separate browser window to display multiple cameras at once, each within a session of its own. Without configuration Multiview will load the first 6 cameras in a listed site. Configuration of Multiview can be acheived in the Site Setup to determine the cameras that you first want the operator to see.
  • Relays – Integrations with Relay support are able to select output commands from the Immix interface. These commands can include door and gate opening. A pulsed relay can be initiated, with the target returning to its original state afterwards, or a pair of buttons can be used to manually operate both an ‘On’ and ‘Off’ state.
  • Pre Alarm Recording – This feature obtains 10 seconds of footage immediately prior to the alarm occurring.
  • Post Alarm Recording – The ability to record footage immediately further to an alarm being received in Immix. Integrations with Post Alarm Recording support will be able to record camera footage upon receipt of an alarm into Immix. Configure an Alarm Action to record a camera for the duration you require. This feature does not require support for alarms. This is purely a recording action assigned to any alarm (even from a different device).
  • Ecare -The ability to have Immix generate notifications if communication to the end device is lost. Support for Ecare means that Immix has the ability to connect to the device listed on the site in order to check whether it is alive. Connection is made by using the IP address and Port listed in the Immix site setup and ensures that the port is listening. Connection attempts are made based on the ‘Ecare checking interval’ set. ‘Ecare fail threshold’ will determine how many connection failures are made before an alarm is provided to the operator.
  • Playback – The ability to choose a time in the past to view footage from. Integrations with Playback support can choose a time in the past to view video from, providing the footage has been stored on the end device. By selecting the calendar icon in the site the operator is asked to choose a time and date to start streaming from. This feature is not included in standard VM pricing.

Vape Detectors (1)

Halo Vape Detectors can be integrated with a video management system (VMS) to enhance security and monitoring capabilities. The integration allows for a unified approach to managing both video surveillance and vape detection within a single system. Here’s how the integration can take place:

  1. Device Communication: The Halo Vape Detectors can be connected to the VMS network using standard protocols such as TCP/IP or SNMP. This enables communication between the detectors and the VMS, facilitating data exchange and control commands.
  2. Event Triggering: When a vape event is detected by the Halo Vape Detectors, an alert or event signal is sent to the VMS. This triggers specific actions or events within the VMS, such as recording video footage from nearby cameras, sending notifications to security personnel, or activating predefined response protocols.
  3. Synchronized Video Playback: The VMS can associate the vape detection event with the corresponding video footage captured by the surveillance cameras in the vicinity. This allows security operators to review the recorded video footage in sync with the vape event, aiding in identification, investigation, and evidence gathering.
  4. Alarm Management: Integration with the VMS enables efficient alarm management for vape detection events. Alerts from the Halo Vape Detectors can be prioritized, categorized, and displayed within the VMS interface, ensuring that security personnel can easily identify and respond to vape incidents.
  5. Centralized Monitoring and Reporting: The VMS provides a centralized platform for monitoring vape detection events across multiple Halo Vape Detectors installed in different areas or zones. It enables real-time monitoring, historical data analysis, and comprehensive reporting of vape incidents, allowing for better decision-making and policy enforcement.
  6. System Administration: Vape detectors can be managed and configured through the VMS interface, streamlining the administration process. This includes setting detection thresholds, adjusting sensitivity levels, and managing device health and status.

By integrating Halo Vape Detectors with a VMS, organizations can enhance their overall security strategy by combining vape detection with video surveillance capabilities. This integration enables faster response times, improved incident investigation, and better overall management of vape-related issues within the monitored environment.

Alarm Responses (9)

In most cases we respond to an alarm in accordance with Australian Standard AS 4421-1996 Guards & Patrols which is 35 minutes.

Category: Alarm Responses

We can’t ever assume that any alarm is false. We treat every alarm from your security system as a potential security breach. Sometimes thieves may deliberately trigger repeated alarms from the same area in your premises hoping that a less diligent security provider might eventually ignore them. We’ll only disregard an alarm signal from your premises upon your explicit instructions (verbal for temporary override/written for on-going circumstances). You may wish to consider a Video Monitoring Service, which allows our operators to remotely view your site when the alarm is activated, assisting them in verifying alarm triggers, and potentially reducing responses to what turn out to be false alarms.

Our electronic Alarm Response Docket lists 9 event-types which may result in a response. One of these events will be selected on each docket you receive. In addition to intruder, fire or industrial alarms, the following are the most common events which may also indicate a breach to the security of your premises:

  • Late to Close – your alarm is still unarmed after your closing schedule and your response plan requires us to attend. Your response plan is only actioned if we haven’t received a call from a contact, or have been unable to contact anyone on site.
  • Out-of-Hours Entry – your alarm system is disarmed outside your scheduled hours. A response is only despatched if we haven’t had a call from a contact, or have been unable to contact anyone on site and your response plan authorises it.
  • Isolation – one or more of your detection devices haven’t activated when your security system has been armed. Common causes include doors/roller shutters that may not have been secured correctly.
  • Let In/Out, Patrol Report and Random Patrol Request event-types are services provided at your request. Please contact us for more information.

Alarm Response Dockets are electronically delivered to an email address of your choice.

The standard response charge includes the patrol officers attendance and the first 10 minutes spent on site. An additional charge per minute applies if the patrol officer is required to wait for longer. Our maximum waiting time is 30 minutes after which the patrol officer can be replaced by a guard upon request. We may agree to extend this in exceptional circumstances. Public Holiday surcharge also applicable.

Category: Alarm Responses

We treat all “late to close” (meaning your security system hasn’t been armed within your schedule) and “out-of-hours-entries” (meaning the system has been disarmed outside your schedule) as exceptions. This is because a lot of theft is internal. When we receive one of these events, we’ll attempt to contact the premises in accordance with your response plan using the site numbers you’ve provided.

Sometimes we can’t contact your site due to problems such as night switches, voice mail, incorrect in-dials, cancelled phone lines or mobile numbers. If we can’t make contact with anyone on-site, your nominated Alarm Response Plan (see below) then comes into effect.

If you want to operate a schedule it’s important that you get your staff to notify us when exceptions occur by calling the Monitoring Centre on 1300 884 543 or 02 9725 1566. New Zealand customers can contact us on 09 887 0362.

Category: Alarm Responses

A member of the Monitoring Team will notify your nominated contacts immediately. Once we’ve contacted you we can assist you with contacting the police if you want them to attend. Most Australian police services require an owner or representative of the business to personally make this request and expect you to be present when they attend. We’re unable to directly make that request for you.

If you’d like to make temporary arrangements for the safeguarding of the property we can also assist.

If we’re unable to contact you and you haven’t authorised us to place a guard on-site, we’re unable to take any further action.

Firstly, check your phone to see if you’ve missed any calls or voice mails from us. You can also speak with our Monitoring Centre on 1300 884 543 to see if there were any failed attempts to contact you, as every call, attempted call and voice mail is recorded and logged. Please note that the Monitoring Centre cannot agree to or issue credits.

If you don’t think we contacted you get in touch with our Accounts department on 02 8787 7562 or accounts@jdsecurity.com.au and they’ll email you a ‘Request for Credit’ form. Once you’ve completed and returned the form we’ll investigate your enquiry. If we haven’t contacted you as agreed in your response plan we’ll issue a credit. If you’d like to amend your response plan at this time we can organise that as well.

Please note that some inquiries take longer to investigate than others including queries relating to multiple responses or involving special detection devices such as refrigeration, smoke and heat detectors.

Category: Alarm Responses

If you’re on-site and anticipate working past your closing time, please ring 1300 884 543 with your password and be ready to advise your estimated departure time. We’ll update your arming schedule so our system makes sure that you arm by that time.

If you go to your premises and disarm outside your scheduled arming & disarming times please ring 1300 884 543 with your password ready immediately after you’ve disarmed so that we can update your schedule and authorise the entry.

Please note that you may incur response charges if you have arming & disarming schedules in place and don’t contact or advise us of schedule changes. If we attempt to contact you and those calls go unanswered and you’ve authorised us to respond to all events we’ll send a response vehicle.

You can make changes to your arming & disarming schedule by calling 1300 884 543 or emailing the Monitoring Centre at controlroom@jdsecurity.com.au

Please note that arming & disarming schedules aren’t mandatory and you can remove them from your service plan if you wish to do so.

You can choose one of the following standard alarm response plans:

  • Plan 1 – you authorise us to respond to all events without calling your nominated contacts. Alarm Response charges may apply.
  • Plan 2 – we’ll contact your contacts to attend, but you authorise us to respond to all events if none of your contacts are contactable.
  • Plan 3 – we’ll contact your contacts to attend your premises, but if none of your contacts is contactable we will NOT respond because we don’t have your authorisation to do so. By selecting this plan you acknowledge that such action may be contrary to your insurers requirements.

If our standard response plans don’t meet your needs please contact us to discuss a feature request. Feature requests are customised action plans built for specific scenarios including refrigeration, medical, smoke, heat and duress alarms that require special handling. Charges apply for custom programming and testing. Additional monitoring charges may also apply.

Alarm Monitoring (53)

A small additional charge applies per separately monitored ‘additional area’ (see the What is an area? FAQ). Each ‘additional area’ requires the same amount of work as a separately monitored system.

Category: Alarm Monitoring

We can’t ever assume that any alarm is false. We treat every alarm from your security system as a potential security breach. Sometimes thieves may deliberately trigger repeated alarms from the same area in your premises hoping that a less diligent security provider might eventually ignore them. We’ll only disregard an alarm signal from your premises upon your explicit instructions (verbal for temporary override/written for on-going circumstances). You may wish to consider a Video Monitoring Service, which allows our operators to remotely view your site when the alarm is activated, assisting them in verifying alarm triggers, and potentially reducing responses to what turn out to be false alarms.

Without these times we’re unable to check if your system has been armed or know if a member of staff has entered your premises outside your schedule. We recommend that you nominate the earliest time by which you expect to disarm your alarm each day, and the latest time by which you expect to arm your alarm each day.

If you don’t want to have a schedule you shouldn’t provide times. And if you want to remove your schedule email the Monitoring Centre at controlroom@jdsecurity.com.au

Category: Alarm Monitoring

It’s important that we’re able to identify & verify those members of your organisation who are authorised to issue instructions or make temporary changes to your procedures or schedule. Therefore we require all authorised users to know your company’s “blanket” or their individual password. Your password should not be the same as your alarm code.

Category: Alarm Monitoring

Contacts are the people who you’ve nominated as your company’s authorised after hours decision makers.

While we’re responsible for monitoring your alarm and advising your contacts of any exceptions, your contacts are responsible for making decisions about your security based on the information we provide. Once personal contact has been made with a contact, we consider that they’ve been duly advised and it’s now their responsibility to make a decision.

If they don’t want to make a decision or issue instructions it then becomes their responsibility to contact another contact who is able to make a decision.

  • Let In/Out, Patrol Report and Random Patrol Request event-types are services provided at your request. Please contact us for more information.

Alarm Response Dockets are electronically delivered to an email address of your choice.

A “blanket password” is a password that everyone who’s authorised to use your security system and contact the monitoring centre knows.

Your “blanket password” cannot be changed verbally.

Your “blanket password” can be changed by one of your authorised contacts emailing the Monitoring Centre

Category: Alarm Monitoring

If you’re moving you should notify us in writing as soon as possible so that we can arrange for the transfer of the monitoring service to your new location*. You may transfer your contract, however you’ll need to contact us so that we can arrange the new connection and get your new site up and running as soon as possible.

If you’re cancelling the service, one of your authorised contacts must request the termination of the service in writing. If you’re still under contract at the time of cancellation you must pay out the balance of the service charges for the remaining months left on your contract. You’ll also be liable for any ad-hoc charges incurred during this time.

Please allow up to 14 days for processing against your account. Please note that “We are moving” notices etc, won’t be accepted as notification of a move or cancellation. It’s never assumed that you’ve stopped using the security system until an authorised contact provides us with a written notification to such effect. It’s not uncommon for customers to require security simultaneously at their old and new sites. For your security we insist on written notification so that we can authenticate the request.

* A quote may be required for the installation or relocation of your equipment.

Category: Alarm Monitoring

If you’re not arming your security system by the scheduled closing time contact the Monitoring Centre and be ready to provide the following information:

  • Your first and last name
  • Company name and location
  • Your individual or blanket password
  • Estimated time of departure
Category: Alarm Monitoring

If you’re entering outside your schedule, contact the Monitoring Centre immediately after you’ve disarmed the security system and be ready to provide the following information:

  • Your first and last name
  • Company name and location
  • Your individual or blanket password
  • Estimated time of departure

The purpose of out-of-hours verification is to check who’s coming and going from the premises during those times when the alarm system is meant to be armed. Therefore we ask that you don’t call 2-3 days before to “book in” as we need to verify you or your staff at the time of disarming.

Category: Alarm Monitoring

Additional services not covered by monitoring fees include but are not limited to:

  • Alarm Responses
  • Activity Reports (monthly, weekly, daily & ad-hoc)
  • Security system installation
  • Service calls
  • Programmed Maintenance
  • Remote reprogramming (i.e. remote changes to user codes, remote arming)
  • Non-standard monitoring services, for example – requests for multiple keyholders being notified of a schedule violation; keyholder call-backs where contacts have already been notified to attend or authorise a response; notification of keyholders overseas and other special feature requests.

Dual SIM 4G Security Monitoring uses two SIM cards to provide redundancy and failover in case of a network outage. This type of monitoring is used in applications where downtime isn’t acceptable.

Dual SIM 4G Security Monitoring typically uses two mobile networks, Telstra and Optus, to ensure that there’s always a connection to the monitoring center. If one network goes down, the system will automatically switch to the other network. This failover capability helps to ensure that security alarms and other critical data are always transmitted to the monitoring center.

In addition to failover, Dual SIM 4G Security Monitoring systems also provide load balancing. This means that they can distribute traffic between two mobile networks, which can help to improve performance & reduce latency.

Should the supervisory signal (an automatic check known as a poll) not receive a response, we’ll escalate the event in accordance with your response plan. For insurance purposes this service is classified as a Class 2 (C2) service.

Most security systems give you the ability to have specific areas – or partitions – of your business monitored whilst other areas remain disarmed. For instance you may be able to divide your building into three separate areas including the office, warehouse and showroom. Each ‘additional area’ may be monitored as if it were an independent entity with its own codes and schedules allowing you to choose the level of authorisation that each user has. You can assign rights to each user for either full or restricted access.

Category: Alarm Monitoring

Most alarm systems have the capability to send a test signal within a pre-defined period of time (e.g. once every 7 days, every 24 hours) to allow us to verify that your alarm system is still connected and reporting.

Category: Alarm Monitoring

When you set-up your service you’re asked to complete a Commissioning Form, a formal document that provides key information about your location, contacts and the times you expect to disarm and arm your security system (Section 4 is known as the Open/Close Schedule).

Whilst it’s not essential for you to provide times if you don’t want this feature, it is essential if you to make sure that your system has been armed by a certain time and likewise if you want to us to make sure that nobody disarms your system without authorisation.

Therefore a schedule violation occurs when someone disarms your system when it’s meant to be armed or doesn’t arm your system by the time you want it to be armed.

You should instruct staff to call the Monitoring Centre on 1300 884 543 when they’re working late, and haven’t armed the security system, or are disarming the system after hours when it’s meant to be armed.

If you’d like to update your schedule click here to download a: Commissioning Form

You can also email the Monitoring Centre with changes to your schedule at controlroom@jdsecurity.com.au. Please make sure that the email is sent by an authorised member of staff.

If you’re using PSTN/Digital Dialler or fixed-line IP Monitoring via fibre as your communication option, there may be the risk that the line could be intentionally cut or drop-out due to network failure. If this happens your security system won’t communicate with the Monitoring Centre. If you or your insurer are concerned about your level of risk you should consider switching to a 4G plan.

Offline – on receipt of a signal we’ll follow your Alarm Response Plan. Because this type of signal indicates that your system is no longer communicating with the Monitoring Centre, if we send a response vehicle to the site and a fault cannot be identified, we’ll still notify a contact to advise them.

Category: Alarm Monitoring

We’ll attempt to contact you using the numbers provided. If we can’t make contact we’ll advise your contacts.

Depending on you nominated Alarm Response Plan, a response vehicle may be sent to your premises to investigate.

Power Failure – on receipt of a power failure signal the event will be automatically placed on hold for a period of time. If power isn’t restored we’ll follow your nominated Alarm Response Plan.

Category: Alarm Monitoring

Low Battery – on receipt of a low battery signal we’ll follow your nominated Alarm Response Plan. Please note that if your security system loses power (in a blackout for example) & the battery is flat, your system won’t work.

If you’d like to replace the battery in your security system contact service on 1300 538 324 Monday to Friday between 07:00am to 05:00pm AEST. You can also leave a message.

Thanks to advances in technology, our alarm monitoring systems won’t fail if there’s a power cut. Unlike phone lines, 4G wireless monitoring systems continue to transmit when there’s a power outage. In the past, opportunistic thieves would use power cuts as an opportunity to gain unlawful access to a building. The use of 4G overcomes this, so you know your system is secure even when there’s no power. This also means your business is less likely to face a break-in when there’s an adverse weather event.

Any request for a designated hold up alarm service must comply with the National Police Alarm Activation Response Guidelines.

Section 5, Alarm Categories & Responses, defines a Hold Up Alarm received from a business as a Category A alarm if it meets the following guidelines.

To qualify as a Hold Up Alarm the hold up button device attached to your security system must be:

  • a for purpose and manufactured dual button press device
  • permanently fixed to a solid surface and installed in accordance with Australian Standard 2201.2
  • operated by a person who is, or is about to be confronted by a weapon or threat of violence for the purpose of robbery
  • programmed to a seperate, individual zone on the security system
  • maintained in accordance with Australian Standard 2201.1:2007
  • accompanied by the owners written instructions for the activation and reset of the device
  • have any tools or keys that are required for its reset in a designated location on the premises
  • operated as an add-on to a business monitoring service that sends open and close events to the Monitoring Centre when the security system is armed and disarmed

Please note that portable wireless devices, including pendants cannot be classified as a Hold Up Alarm. For information regarding these devices and their treatment as a Duress Alarm please see the FAQ What if I trigger a duress alarm?

In all instances operators will notify Police to attend. Once Police notification has taken place it is irrevocable.

Please note that the National Police Alarm Activation Response Guidelines are a product of the National Emergency Communications Working Group – Australia and New Zealand (NECWG-A/NZ) and are available on the necwg-anz.org website. JD Security cannot guarantee that the police force in your jurisdiction will handle operational matters as described in this document or make changes without notice.

  • Alarm activation – on receipt of an alarm the operator will follow your nominated Alarm Response Plan.
  • Bypass / Trouble (Isolation) – one or more of the detection devices hasn’t switched on when the system was armed. Common causes include doors and or roller shutters that may not have been closed.
  • Fire or Smoke Alarms – notification of fire/smoke alarms is account specific and will take place immediately if you’ve requested it. If notification of Fire & Rescue NSW is not specified in the account comments, contacts will be notified. If we’re unable to contact any contacts we’ll notify Fire & Rescue NSW to attend. If the system is disarmed an operator will contact the premises directly and report the activation.
  • Medical Alarms – NSW Ambulance Service notification of medical alarms is account specific and will take place immediately if you’ve requested it. If NSW Ambulance Service notification is not specified in the account comments contacts will be notified. If we’re unable to contact any contacts we’ll then automatically notify NSW Ambulance Service to attend.
  • Power Failure – on receipt of a power failure signal the event will be automatically placed on hold for a period of time. If power isn’t restored we’ll follow your nominated Alarm Response Plan.
  • Low Battery – on receipt of a low battery signal we’ll follow your nominated Alarm Response Plan.
  • Test failure / Should have reported – if a test signal isn’t received as scheduled, we’ll contact you during business hours and get you to test your security system.
  • Line fault trouble / offline – on receipt of a signal we’ll follow your Alarm Response Plan. Because this type of signal indicates that your system is no longer communicating with the Monitoring Centre, if we send a response vehicle to the site and a fault cannot be identified, we’ll still notify a contact to advise them.

Before we can remote arm your security system it will need to be set-up to be remotely accessible. To arrange for your security system to be set-up please call Service on 1300 538 324 or email us at service@jdsecurity.com.au

Once your security system has been set up for Remote Arming, if you forget to arm it contact the Monitoring Centre on 1300 884 543 and have your password ready to talk to an Operator.

Charges apply for us attempting to provide this service. In some situations we may be unable to remote arm your security system. This is usually because of a zone being open/activated which may indicate a door is open or a detector has moving objects in front of it, e.g. a sign hanging from the ceiling blown around by an air conditioner.
