OS Malevich v2.10

OS Malevich 2.10 brings the world’s best practices in countering false alarms to the Ajax security system. With this software, the system gained the compliances required for PD 6662:2017 — a document that applies European standards for intrusion and hold-up alarm systems in the UK. Moreover, systems with OS Malevich 2.10 broaden the potential application for scenarios, communicate with users in more languages, and protect the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Bergen with fire detection.

The British Experience

The British market’s distinctiveness is that the police react to alarms, and every unnecessary dispatch means a negative use of an expensive resource. Repeated false alarms can lead to monitoring being withdrawn. That is why in OS Malevich 2.10, we have implemented the best features for countering false alarms and responsible use of intrusion & hold-up alarm systems. Below we will briefly outline each feature:

Alarm confirmation. The system transmits to an Alarm Receiving Centre a separate event to confirm the alarm. The system can generate a confirmed alarm condition when multiple intrusion events or hold-up devices are triggered. When setting up the system, an installer selects the devices whose activation leads to confirmation and sets the time interval for alarms. The feature is located in the service settings of the hub.

An emergency button with ultimate protection against accidental clicks. With OS Malevich 2.10, the system supports DoubleButton, a new hold-up device by Ajax Systems. DoubleButton will raise the alarm only if both buttons are pressed simultaneously — a special barrier prevents accidental activation. Dust and splashes do not impact the device operation. The emergency button can be safely carried in a pocket as a key fob or hung around a neck. For quick access, DoubleButton can be fixed using Holder.

Also, DoubleButton can generate a confirmed hold-up alarm event. To do this, the buttons must be pressed twice in a different way (short and long press), or two DoubleButtons used.
 

System restoration after alarm. The feature prevents Ajax from arming after previously being triggered. To arm the system, the incident must be checked and the system restored by an authorized user (PRO or administrator). This feature helps engineers to track the system condition because an alarm means that the object has been attacked or the system works incorrectly. The types of alarms to be restored are specified when configuring the hub.

According to standards, security alarms require a professional inspection

Feature is supported by: StreetSiren/StreetSiren DoubleDeck with firmware 3.72 and higher; HomeSiren with firmware 5.55.2.0 and higher; KeyPad with firmware from 4.52.0 to 4.99.0.

Two-stage arming. The feature splits the arming process into two stages: initiation and finishing. Users can initiate arming using a control device (SpaceControl or KeyPad). In this case, the system will be armed when a Second-Stage Device is triggered. For instance, when closing the door on which DoorProtect is installed. Users can also initiate arming from the Ajax app: in this case, the system will be armed if no detectors are triggered within a specified time.

Selective system integrity check. Installers can select states of the hub included in the integrity check when arming the system. This eliminates unnecessary checks, for example, in the event of a broken tamper button or interruptions in the hub’s external power supply.
