Spectator Service Centre
The Spectator Service Centre (SSC), a unique Total Concept Solution, is the result of extensive research and development using our expertise in real-time video, alarm management and software development. “SYROS” the latest version of the SSC software, is the nerve centre for the Security, Healthcare and Multimedia applications that can be run on the SSC. All the applications are accessed via a friendly GUI (graphical user interface) either 
individually or collectively.
The following applications can be delivered with the SSC back bone;
SSC – Security
SSC – Care & Media
SSC – Video Conferencing
SYROS is delivered to the control room operator as a completely installed commissioned and tested solution. Every SYROS installation is tailored according to the application requirements of the operator. All equipment and software in this solution have to pass through a rigorous process of testing before deployment to ensure that everything works according to specifications. Besides rigorous testing, continuity of operations is assured by the use of dual redundant hot-swappable hardware. Spectator maintains the complete solution, with its state of the art 24/7 service on line. The solution is kept in sync with time by the system upgrades, and the operations are backed by regular commercial, technical and operator training.
