As an easy-to-use system with a single point of control, Cerberus DMS

delivers a simpler way to manage your vital life safety systems.

You face challenges everyday. To simplify your daily operations, Siemens created Cerberus™ DMS. It’s a flexible and customizable danger management station that gives you the power to respond to life safety events faster and with more information, all with a single view. And because it’s built on leading Siemens technology, Cerberus DMS addresses your immediate system needs and prepares you for future expansion. It’s easy to configure. It’s easy to learn. It’s easy to use.

Simplification means greater protection. As the next generation of danger manage-ment stations, Cerberus DMS couples intelligent control with ease of use. You can monitor and command multiple life safety technologies from one central point.

Our single station streamlines the vital aspects of your safety needs, such as man-aging fire systems and video surveillance cameras. As a result, you’ll find it easier

to protect your facility. Cerberus DMS can incorporate video cameras, combining real-time views of critical events at the user interface with the best systems for fire protection. In fact, it is the management station for Cerberus PRO, the latest line of fire protection systems from Siemens. It also supports other Siemens technologies, including FireFinder® XLS and MXL®.

Cerberus DMS is adaptable to meet the needs of different users. Based on a user’s profile, it can provide a very basic view or more expanded capabilities for analysis, investigation and reporting.

Problem areas are highlighted, enabling a fast and informed response. You can easily configure the Cerberus DMS interface to meet your information needs, giving you a customized view of your facility. The simplicity of the interface lets you optimize control of your building’s safety.

Safety made easier.

A view that makes sense to you.Manage efficiently. Respond informatively. Recognizing problems quickly allows you to manage alarms and critical events before they escalate. Cerberus DMS captures critical information in a single-window view so you can respond immediately and informatively to life safety events.

Through its user-friendly interface, Cerberus DMS lets you view your system as a whole, leading to more efficient control. You can drill down to specific events on individual fire systems and video cameras to assess situations instantly.

The interface employs a pane-based work-flow, which keeps all relevant tasks in view. This dynamic workflow ultimately “learns” and anticipates needed items and automat-ically makes them visible. This streamlined approach gives you greater situational awareness, empowering you to make more informed decisions.

Cerberus DMS incorporates powerful, enhanced graphics that make it easier for you to understand the nature of alarms. The improved visuals enhance your ability to synthesize detailed information. Superior vectoring and graphic capabilities are also ideal for current and legacy Siemens fire safety networks.

Customize your work to meet your needs.To ensure you’re getting the most advanced system in danger management, our equip-ment is UL approved. Cerberus DMS offers a choice of two customizable hardware platforms, both of which meet UL-864 standards. You can also add multiple client PCs for additional monitoring and control points.

Cerberus DMS can also be personalized to accommodate the preferences of multiple users. No matter their access level, the user will easily understand the data presented because the interface is configured to their pre-set requirements.

Highlights

Access critical information in a single view.

1. Summary Bar shows unacknowledged and total events currently in the system by category, with Life Safety events at the top

2. System Manager displays all devices and applications, and finds devices in alarm

3. Primary Pane shows additional information about a selected point – e.g. graphical location of fire detector in alarm

4. Secondary Pane shows additional information about an event – e.g. a real-time camera view of an event

5. Related Links provides access to more informa-tion about a device, event or application, including special procedures or data

6. Text Pane provides data about a selected device, including current state

7. A lamp for each active event in the system remains visible at all times, and enables any active event to be investigated with a single click

8. Facility Layout highlights buildings when an event occurs, and can be selected graphically to provide additional information

Communication made easy. Cerberus DMS helps to ensure the continu-ity of your business operations. It can be configured to send text messages, emails, or pages when critical events occur. This provides key people in your organization with the information that they need to initiate response quickly. Cerberus DMS is designed to work with multiple IT protocols so that it integrates easily with your existing systems.

Cerberus DMS also gives you the ability to view what’s happening in the system at any time with remote access via web interface. From a remote PC you can have the same view of the User Interface as the person operating the system.

Meet your needs today and tomorrow. Technology changes. So do your business and facility needs. Cerberus DMS is designed to evolve and be enhanced as a long-term life safety platform.

Cerberus DMS is built on leading Supervi-sory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. SCADA gathers real-time data while monitoring and controlling your building systems, so you know you’re always getting the most up-to-date, actionable information. With the power of Siemens innovations always within reach, you can be confident in the deci-sions you make for your facility’s safety.

It’s an investment that makes sense.With the flexibility to accommodate a variety of permission levels and user work styles in a single computer, Cerberus DMS frees up valuable resources. And since you’re backed by Siemens – a global powerhouse in fire and life safety technology – you know you’re getting the most out of your invest-ment. A local Siemens partner is readily available to offer support when you need it.

Cerberus DMS gives you optimal decision-making capabilities to secure your facility and its occupants. Smarter, easier and more flexible – Cerberus DMS is designed to meet your needs for today and tomorrow.

Cerberus DMS gives you real-time actionable data so you can respond to events quickly.

Protect your building and your future.
