The SAMS system is a powerful tool enabling full control of technical devices (in particular those of security systems) both automatically or by supporting the operators responsible for security and maintenance. The system is able to control unlimited number of devices and, in the first place, it is not necessary to design it as a large management system which requires a lot of relationships and operation schemes to be developed and defined. The system can be step-by-step expanded, thus providing the investor with:

1.Sufficient time to define relationships depending on site specific features;
2.Possibility to avoid costly implementation and operator training;
3.Time required for adaptation of the site users to new working conditions; and
4.Suitable financing that does not involve too large expenditures due to:

Ability to “mix” various subsystems (access control, burglary, lighting systems etc.) in one communication line – commonly used. In the case of simple systems all the subsystems can and most often work on the same communication line. This fact does not affect the system performance, operational speed, operation of subsystems and their interactions. In the case of extensive systems, each subsystem can be built on a single communication line, but this results only from a tendency to make the system clear and well arranged.
 
Ability to install and attach any number of controllers depending on client’s needs. The modular structure enable unlimited system extension, while considering only constrains related to the number of controllers to be connected to single computer). The system can be expanded in any time and tailored to meet the user’s needs and financial potential. Should the system is to be expanded by adding a controller of any type, the procedure consists in assigning it a system address, connecting to the communication line, defining its tasks and connecting peripheral devices (for I/O controllers). Similar procedure applies to extension by adding much more controllers (for example to protect next floor, building etc.). In this case it is necessary to connect new controllers to the MTR module, define their tasks in the Admin module and connect peripheral devices. No changes of previous system configuration are required. The newly extended system can be used immediately.
 
Installing the system by the user or under Meco System supervision. The software is delivered on
CD-ROM with attached description. The program uses prompts that “lead” the user through the installation. The system configuration and start up is described in detail in the Help. The whole programming procedure requires the consecutively displayed instructions to be followed. These instructions are intuitive to such extent that even a beginning user is able to configure and run the system. The system configuration and start up is described in detail in the Help.

These instructions are intuitive to such extent that even a beginning user is able to configure and run the system.
 
Self-development. Since the user is engaged in all the stages of system implementation, beginning from installation through defining procedures to everyday operation, he/she can learn the system in detail and solve any problem that may arise. Such experience is very useful in extension of the system, when re-programming is required.
 
"Lashing" of independent systems or individual devices to the Security and Access Management System. The integration of the system with other systems installed at the client’s premises depends on actual state. The system is able to interpret only those events expressed by changing of logic state. By connecting such event to the controller input port and assigning it a mnemonic name, gives a clear image of the operation of that system. Similar situation is encountered when the specialised equipment installed at the client’s premises is to be controlled. Generally, there are no limitation related to it. In special cases, the integration of both systems can be established after additional information is furnished.
