Security Plans
A security alarm protects various property objects from unauthorized entry. Such system can be used in all types of buildings including private houses and apartments, state buildings, commercial and military objects. Security alarm system ensures your personal safety and protection of your belongings against burglary. When installed in cars, these systems are used against car thefts and carjacking. Also, a security alarm is used in prisons and high security facilities.
These alarm systems can have either one function (e.g. burglary protection) or combine fire and intrusion detection. Intrusion alarm system often works together with closed-circuit television surveillance systems when the process of unauthorized entry is automatically recorded. Systems vary from compact audio alarms to sophisticated computerized systems that can cover a vast area.
No security system cannot be constructed without detailed security plan, or even a set of plans in some cases. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software offers the Security and Access Plans Solution from the Building Plans Area to help you design the Security Plans for any premises and of any complexity.
Security plans are very convenient way to explain what result you want to get. Security and Access Plans Solution provides 3 libraries:
- Alarm and Access Control
- Initiation and Annunciation
- Video Surveillance
with wide variety of vector shapes to help you draw your security plans in minutes.

- Select the text boxes – Align Left using Align function on the Toolbar.
- Make the same distance between the text boxes using Distribute option on the Toolbar.
- Align the text boxes and the objects using Align function on the Toolbar.
- To make a background for the Legend, choose Rounded Rectangle at the Drawing Shapes library.
- Using control dots, make it slightly bigger than the text boxes and the objects together.
- Right click on the Rectangle – Object – Send to Back.
- The fourth Layer “Background”:
- Inspectors – Layers tab – Add a New Layer using plus icon (+).
- Lock the previous layer.
- Take Rectangle at the Drawing Shapes library. Using control dots, set the size of the object same as the page size.
- Open Inspectors – Line tab – deselect Stroke.
- Open the Fill tab – Color – Color Sliders – Make your color.
- Right click on the Rectangle – Object – Send to Back.
- From the File menu open the Document Properties – Page Size – Adjust to Drawing Contents – Ok.
- Now your drawing is ready!
- You may save it or export to different formats via the File menu.
The possibility of exporting to variety of popular graphical formats (PNG, JPEG, JPG, GIF, TIF, TIFF, BMP, DIB, EMF, SVG) and file formats, such as Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT), Adobe Acrobat (PDF), Microsoft Visio (VDX, VSDX), Adobe Flash (SWF), Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), HTML, opens wide opportunities for you.

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software supplied with unique Specification and Description Language (SDL) Solution from the Industrial Engineering Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park will help you design SDL Diagram of any complexity without efforts
Picture: SDL — Systems EngineeringRelated Solution:When studying a business process or system involving the transfer of data, it is common to use a Data Flow Diagram (DFD) to visualize how data are processed. Being initially used exclusively in regards to the flow of data through a computer system, now DFDs are employed as the business modeling tools. They are applied to describe the business events and interactions, or physical systems involving data storage and transfer. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a powerful Data Flow Diagram software thanks to the Data Flow Diagrams solution from the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
Picture: Data Flow Diagram SoftwareRelated Solution:If we divide computer networks by scale, we get several main categories. The smallest network is PAN, as it connects personal devices themselves, and as the number of users grows, a local area network can be recognized, and campus area networks (CAN) connects several local networks located within some area like a university or a corporation. Computers connected to CAN share public educational materials and list of CAN network examples includes such prestigious universities like Stanford and Carnegie Mellon. This is an example of a computer network diagram created for a campus area network. It was created using using ConceptDraw solution for the Computer and Network diagramming. The specific of this sample campus network is its distribution. It is rather broad to embrace a big campus territory. This diagram can be applied as a template for designing custom area network topology diagram for a particular educational institution.

Computer and Network ExamplesRelated Solution:The CCTV is the process that carried out using the video cameras for transmitting the signal to the specific location, on the limited set of monitors. We are talking about the video cameras that are used for monitoring on such guarded objects as airports, banks, stores, military objects, etc. CCTV equipment is also used in the industrial installations, for surveillance in the public places, for recording the video on the digital video recorders.
Picture: CCTV Network Diagram SoftwareRelated Solutions:Developing a software project supposes architecture first. To make it proper, you can use data flow diagram model in your current project. The data flow diagram represents the Model of small traditional production enterprise that is made using Yourdon and Coad notation. It shows how the data is transfered through a process. According to the notation of Yourdon and Coad a process is represented by circles and data stores are drawn using parallel lines. This DFD was created using the ConceptDraw Data Flow Diagrams solution. Using this solution one can visualize data flow accordingly to the rules of two basic notations used for data flow modeling.
Picture: Data Flow Diagram ModelRelated Solution:Local area network connects computers and other network appliances within an area, such as office building or a campus. It can be difficult to provide such network without a predesigned plan. For these purposes you can use network diagram software, which helps you to create LAN network diagrams and office network diagrams quickly and effortless. This will speed up your work and you can save the diagram for the future network improvements. The following diagram illustrates a network topology of the small office. LAN configuration has a star topology. The local network joins 8 computers among which are several desktop PCs, laptop, two iMacs and iBook. The end-point devices are divided into three groups. Each group is connected to its hub. There is a network printer and a modem, which are interconnected with other devices through a network server. Each computer on the LAN can access the server through a corresponding hub.

Physical Office Network DiagramsRelated Solution:When talking about engineering, one should define all the terms used, so anybody could understand the topic. Typical network glossary contains definitions of numerous network appliances, types of networks and cable systems. The understanding of basic is crucial for server management, network administration and investigating problems. The network glossary defines terms related to networking and communications. The most of glossary items has their visual representation in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM libraries of the Computer Network Diagrams solution. This illustration presents a local area network (LAN) diagram. It designed to show the way the interaction of network devices in a local network. The diagram uses a library containing symbols of network equipment, connections and the end-point devices such as network printer, hubs, server, modem and finally computers (PC, mac, laptop). This diagram depicts a physical LAN topology.
Picture: Network Glossary DefinitionRelated Solution:Engineering students usually have huge amount of homework. Learning how to develop a technical drawing is one of the necessary skills. Luckily, at the present time, there’s no need to draw it on paper, because there a lot of software tools for it. This drawing represents the Bearing symbols library, that is the part of the ConceptDraw Mechanical Engineering solution. Bearings are the important components of any movable mechanism. The function of bearing is to align, guide, and support the moving parts in any mechanical construction. Usually they are located between moving and stationary parts, it works as a connection point between them. Using Mechanical Engineering solution and ConceptDraw DIAGRAM one can effortlessly draw engineering diagrams of any complexity.
