Hypervision vs Supervision: Understanding the Differences for Enhanced Security Management

April 25, 2023

In today's world, the management of security systems and incidents has become increasingly complex. In order to efficiently manage security systems and incidents, companies rely on advanced software solutions that help to consolidate and centralise data from various systems. Hypervision and supervision are two such software solutions that aim to streamline security management, but they have distinct characteristics. In this blog post, we will explore the differences between hypervision and supervision and how the Open Integration Platform Sky-Walker can help in security management.

What is Hypervision? 

Hypervision is a type of software that helps a company to manage and control all its security, safety, and comfort systems via a single platform, known as a PSIM (Physical Security Information Management) software. The goal of hypervision is to connect all the security and safety systems, such as access control systems and video surveillance systems, and present the data in a unified interface to the operators. With a Open Integration Platform like Sky-Walker, operators can view and manage all the systems and alarms in real-time, making incident management quicker and easier.

What is Supervision? 

Supervision, on the other hand, is software designed to detect anomalies related to a specific system, such as video surveillance systems. The software allows operators to focus on the data of a particular system and manage incidents directly via a platform. Supervision software enables operators to manage general problems such as network anomalies and computer system failures.

Key Differences Between Hypervision and Supervision 

The main differences between hypervision and supervision are the scope of the systems that they manage and the level of data consolidation. While hypervision manages all the security and safety systems of a company via a single platform, supervision focuses on specific systems and anomalies. Hypervision consolidates all the data from various systems into a unified interface, while supervision only focuses on the data related to a specific system.

Advantages of Using Hypervision Over Supervision 

Hypervision has several advantages over supervision.


  1. Firstly, hypervision software (PSIM) like Sky-Walker has an intuitive interface that provides a quick and easy view of all the systems, enabling operators to manage alarms and incidents without missing any.
  2. Secondly, hypervision provides a global vision of all the systems and alarms of different sites, enabling operators to switch between sites, buildings, and floors in a few clicks for quicker incident management.
  3. Thirdly, hypervision software comes with an incident manager that allows pre-defined actions to be taken in case of incidents, enabling efficient incident management.

 

Another significant advantage of using hypervision software is cost reduction. Hypervision enables companies to connect all their systems and drivers in one software, eliminating the need for multiple software packages. Additionally, hypervision software enables preventive maintenance of systems, which can quickly detect anomalies in the system, enabling timely action.

Your Result? 

Hypervision and supervision are two software solutions that enable efficient security management. While hypervision manages all the security and safety systems of a company via a single platform, supervision focuses on specific systems and anomalies. The key differences between the two software solutions lie in the scope of the systems they manage and the level of data consolidation. Hypervision software like Sky-Walker provides several advantages over supervision, including ease of use, fast incident management, and cost reduction. By using hypervision software, companies can centralise all their security and safety systems, enabling more efficient security management.
