UML State Machine Diagram.Design Elements

UML state machine's goal is to overcome the main limitations of traditional finite-state machines while retaining their main benefits.
ConceptDraw has 393 vector stencils in the 13 libraries that helps you to start using software for designing your own UML Diagrams. You can use the appropriate stencils of UML notation from UML State Machine library.
The vector stencils library Alarm and access control contains 80 symbols of digital proximity equipment, locking hardware, and access control equipment.
"An alarm device or system of alarm devices gives an audible, visual or other form of alarm signal about a problem or condition. Alarm devices are often outfitted with a siren." [Alarm device. Wikipedia]
"An access control point, which can be a door, turnstile, parking gate, elevator, or other physical barrier, where granting access can be electronically controlled. Typically, the access point is a door. An electronic access control door can contain several elements. At its most basic, there is a stand-alone electric lock. The lock is unlocked by an operator with a switch. To automate this, operator intervention is replaced by a reader. The reader could be a keypad where a code is entered, it could be a card reader, or it could be a biometric reader. Readers do not usually make an access decision, but send a card number to an access control panel that verifies the number against an access list. To monitor the door position a magnetic door switch can be used. In concept, the door switch is not unlike those on refrigerators or car doors. Generally only entry is controlled, and exit is uncontrolled. In cases where exit is also controlled, a second reader is used on the opposite side of the door. In cases where exit is not controlled, free exit, a device called a request-to-exit (REX) is used. Request-to-exit devices can be a push-button or a motion detector. When the button is pushed, or the motion detector detects motion at the door, the door alarm is temporarily ignored while the door is opened. Exiting a door without having to electrically unlock the door is called mechanical free egress. This is an important safety feature. In cases where the lock must be electrically unlocked on exit, the request-to-exit device also unlocks the door." [Access control. Wikipedia]
Use the design elements library Alarm and access control for drawing layout floor plans, blueprints, and wiring diagrams of intrusion systems, time and attendance systems, card and code access control security systems, internal and external security control systems using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
The shapes library Alarm and access control is included in the Security and Access Plans solution from the Building Plans area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

It's a good idea to have an emergency exit strategy in place for your home or business. ConceptDraw gives you the tools to create your own fire and emergency plan, tailored to your setting.

Fire Exit Plan

ConceptDraw PRO extended with Fire and Emergency Plans solution from the Building Plans area of ConceptDraw Solution Park lets you make a Fire Exit Plan of any complexity in minutes.

CCTV Surveillance System Diagram. CCTV Network Diagram Example

Creating CCTV system diagrams is quick and easy with ConceptDraw PRO diagramming software enhanced with Audio, Video, Media solution from ConceptDraw Solution Park. It contains library of vector cliparts of video and TV devices and different digital gadgets for drawing this kind of diagrams.
The vector stencils library "Fire safety equipment" contains 19 clipart images of fire safety equipment which you can easy use in your presentations and illustrations.
"Fire safety refers to precautions that are taken to prevent or reduce the likelihood of a fire that may result in death, injury, or property damage, alert those in a structure to the presence of an uncontrolled fire in the event one occurs, better enable those threatened by fire to survive in and evacuate from affected areas, or to reduce the damage caused by a fire. Fire safety measures include those that are planned during the construction of a building or implemented in structures that are already standing, and those that are taught to occupants of the building.
Threats to fire safety are referred to as fire hazards. A fire hazard may include a situation that increases the likelihood a fire may start or may impede escape in the event a fire occurs." [Fire safety. Wikipedia]
The clip art example "Fire safety equipment - Vector stencils library" was created in the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software using the Presentation Clipart solution from the Illustration area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

The vector stencils library "Road signs" contains 58 symbols of road signs for labeling the road and route maps, directional and transit maps, street and locator maps.
"Traffic signs or road signs are signs erected at the side of or above roads to give instructions or provide information to road users.
... many countries have adopted pictorial signs or otherwise simplified and standardized their signs to overcome language barriers, and enhance traffic safety. Such pictorial signs use symbols (often silhouettes) in place of words and are usually based on international protocols. Such signs were first developed in Europe, and have been adopted by most countries to varying degrees." [Traffic sign. Wikipedia]
The pictograms example "Road signs - Vector stencils library" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Directional Maps solution from the Maps area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

ConceptDraw Arrows10 Technology

When using a shapes′ center connection the connection becomes dynamic, the connector will trace the contour of the object, when moving the object inside your diagram.

Using any other connection point provides a static connection, when you move connected objects the connector stays attached to the same point.
The vector stencils library "Lighting" contains 55 symbols of lighting devices and equipment.
Use these shapes for drawing lighting design floor plans, circuit schematic and wiring diagrams, cabling layouts, and reflected ceiling plans in the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.

How to Draw a Building Plans

ConceptDraw PRO is a world-class diagramming platform that lets you display, communicate, and present dynamically. It′s powerful enough to draw everything from basic flowcharts to complex engineering schematics.

Emergency Plan

Fire emergency plan need to be in every building on each floor. The evacuation plan preliminary designed in ConceptDraw PRO software will help employees or family members when natural disasters, fires, hazardous leaks and other disaster events happen. Start drawing emergency blueprint from floor bounds, then put the inner walls and doors, and finally use arrows to show evacuation directions to fire exits.
