Patriot 6.2 Release

Patriot 6.2 is now available to all new and existing customers (conditions apply).
The upgrade to 6.2 is available FREE to Patriot customers with qualifying support plans.

Find out if you qualify for a free 6.2 upgrade by contacting Patriot sales: sales@patriotsystems.com
Upgrading to 6.2 is an easy self-upgrade for Patriot 6 users - no support desk assistance is required.

Zone Mapping

New in version 6.2, Zone Mapping is a feature within the software that provides an editor to draw on a customer layout, and position the zones setup in the alarm panel, and which the operator can use during activation to direct attention to the correct area.

IPV6 ready

Patriot has completed validation of version 6.2 in respect of the change from IPv4 to IPv6. When you begin planning your network transition to IPv6, please ensure you include the version 6.2 upgrade as part of your plan.

New video integration task

Did you know that Patriot now supports more than one hundred video platforms including Axis, Bosch, Cisco, Dlink, HikVision and Honeywell together with many others through our newly released Milestone integration task. For more information please contact Patriot sales: sales@patriotsystems.com

IP enabled Remote Device I/O Module

The Patriot development team has completed testing of a Remote Device I/O Task which provides a versatile means of interfacing Patriot software with a range of IP enabled I/O hardware.

This will allow a Patriot client response plan to trigger devices such as lights, sirens, or a servo-controlled barrier arm in response to signals. For more information please contact Patriot sales: sales@patriotsystems.com

Patriot Task plug-in Software Development Kit

The Task SDK enables third party software developers to integrate their own receivers and other signal receiving devices into Patriot via signals which will be logged to the Patriot database.

The task is able to insert clients into the database, with type checking and data validation performed on insert.
An assignable task can be created. The task can be assigned to various response plans, as per the standard Patriot email or SMS task. When a signal triggers this response plan the task will be notified and can respond accordingly, like send the event onto another piece of software in whatever customised format is required. The task can also respond to operator initiated events during an activation. A button can be displayed on the Activation window, and when pressed, the task can perform whatever function is required.

End of Life for Patriot 5.2

Upgrades will continue to be available to Patriot 5.2 customers but support desk assistance will no longer be available. If you are still using Patriot 5, 5.1, or 5.2 please contact Patriot sales: sales@patriotsystems.com to see how you can upgrade to the latest version of Patriot.
