The Differences Between Hypervision and Supervision: A Comprehensive Guide 

What Is Hypervision?

Hypervision can be defined as the centralization and management of security, safety, and comfort systems in one or more buildings of a company through software. Operators use hypervision software (commonly known as "PSIM Software") such as Sky-Walker, which collects data from all systems and aggregates it into a single platform.

The goal is to have a global view of the security, safety, and comfort of multiple buildings to manage incidents efficiently and autonomously at any time of the day.

What Is Supervision?

Supervision focuses on managing a specific system (such as video surveillance). This software allows you to focus on data from a single system by integrating it directly into a platform so that you can manage incidents related to the system.



Operators use supervision software that integrates all system data, as well as manages network problems and IT system failures within the company.

What Are the Differences Between Hypervision and Supervision?

Hypervision and supervision are two types of software that can help you manage your building's incidents better, but there are differences between the two.

1) Centralization of Systems

One of the main differences is the centralization of systems. Hypervision allows you to integrate and centralize all types of security, safety, and comfort systems into a single platform. Data such as the system's location and state level can be viewed directly on one interface. Supervision does not allow you to centralize all systems, but you can access all information related to one system only.

2) Technologies

The types of technologies that can be integrated into the software are important. Hypervision, which is more comprehensive than supervision, can integrate all types of technologies that are directly connected to different systems, such as facial recognition linked to the video surveillance system in case of theft or fingerprint door buttons linked to the access control system in case of intrusion. These technologies are useful for improving incident management. Supervision also integrates technologies but only related to the system under supervision and are generally more specific.

3) Global Data Visualization

In addition to centralizing systems, the concept of "visualization" or "management" is essential. Since hypervision's primary role is to centralize all systems, it also allows for a global view of building data, such as the number of people on a floor or the building's energy consumption over a given period to optimize the safety, security, and comfort of building occupants, such as automatically reducing a room's energy consumption after a certain time. Supervision also allows you to visualize global data of your building, but you can only optimize one system.

4) Incident Prioritization

The number of incidents related to security and safety varies greatly, and a company cannot predict incidents occurring at any time of the day. The advantage of hypervision is that it allows you to prioritize building incidents. The operator can receive real-time notification of an incident and categorize incidents by importance. The most urgent incident can be quickly managed while keeping an eye on the other incidents. With supervision, you can only focus on prioritizing incidents related to the system connected to the software.

5) Preventative Maintenance

Another aspect that distinguishes hypervision from supervision is maintenance. With hypervision, using data about system performance, you can perform preventative maintenance to fix or replace components before they fail. Supervision only allows for reactive maintenance, where the system components are fixed or replaced after they have failed.

 
Hypervision is a comprehensive software that will assist you on a daily basis in managing the security, safety, and comfort of your buildings.
