The Velocity Graphics module provides a visual interface for interacting with IDS Panels, Areas, Points, and outputs. Graphics supports two different kinds of IDS Objects:
Traditional VIO IDS-related objects (Panels, Area, Points, and Outputs).
The new IDS Area construct which allows you to draw a representation of an IDS Area on a map in order to monitor the associated IDS Area’s Arm and Secure states.
VIO objects allow you to plot specific IDS objects (panels, areas, points, and outputs) to monitor and control the Velocity Alarm state as well as and execute device-specific commands. The Velocity Alarm state is the same state as shown in the Velocity Alarm Viewer, and you may ACK and Clear Velocity alarms from VIOs just like you can from the Velocity Alarm Window.
The IDS Area construct is different and it allows you to draw an area that covers a portion of a map to visually represent the IDS Area’s its physical coverage visually. The IDS Area construct displays the IDS Panel Area’s internal ARM and ALARM/SECURE states, which are different than the Velocity alarm state (as noted above).
Difference between an IDS Area VIO object and an IDS Area
To illustrate the difference between an IDS Area VIO object and an IDS Area, consider the following example:
An IDS area goes into alarm, and a Velocity Alarm event is displayed in the Velocity Alarm Viewer and the . The associated IDS Area VIO object in Graphics animates to show that the VIO is in an alarm state. The operator may then acknowledge and clear the Velocity Alarm from either the IDS Area VIO or from the Velocity Alarm Viewer. However, the secure state form of the IDS Area construct constructs remains in alarm until the alarm is cleared from the IDS panel (usually from the IDS keypad).

Select the Object Library check box in the Main menu , and the Object Library pane displays.
Expand the Topology folder till you reach the underlying panel, area, points, and output components that you need to place in the drawing are displayed.
Drag the required component from the selected folder to the drawing , and carefully position them at the correct location.
If required, you can modify other features of the objects by right-clicking on the object.
The options in the pop-up menu:
Delete: Removes the velocity object from the drawing area.
Set as Primary: Indicates the The Velocity objects in the map that gets are automatically enabled when set as primary. For example, if you place area 1 on three different maps, you can set area 1 as the primary. Then, if area 1 detects an illegal entry, area 1 automatically appears on the canvas with the area 1 alarm icon displayed.
Configure Device…: Allows This allows you to bring up the corresponding configuration screen for that device. For example, if you select this option for a reader, the Reader Properties screen for that reader appears.

The IDS Area feature allows you to visually represent an IDS Area by drawing it on a map. The IDS Area visually displays the Area’s Arm State as well as and the Area’s Secure state. The border of the IDS Area represents the Arm Arms State, and the inside of the IDS Area represents the secure state. You can color code all supported Arm States to quickly visually identify how the area is armed quickly and visually.
Creating IDS Area
Click Graphics in the Main menu.
In design mode, click Design->Draw and select IDS Area.
Draw the desired area on the map.
The Map IDS constructs to a specific IDS panel Area and configures the IDS Area border and interior as shown.
Typically the IDS VIOs gets get plotted on the map as well, and you will draw the IDS Area around these plotted VIO objects as shown above.
Interacting with IDS VIO Objects and IDS Area Constructs
In Graphics mode, right-click anywhere on the selected IDS Area construct and execute the desired IDS Area command as shown.
...
In Graphics mode, right-click on the selected IDS Area VIO and execute the desired command as shown.
...
Right-click to select IDS Point and execute the command in the map as shown.
...
Right-click to select IDS Output and your desired command as shown.
...
The Areas, Points, and Outputs for IDS Panels added through Velocity must be given individual access , in addition to giving and overall access to IDS panels. For example, when the operator wants to access specific areas, points/outputs of a panel that is configured, the permissions for each must be given explicitly by the server.
...
Login as Velocity Superuser in Velocity Server.
Navigate from Main Menu-> Administration-> Roles->Operators.
The Role Operators window displays.
Select Application Permissions->IDS Panels and enable the role for the desired functions (Add/Delete/Save/View). The operator must have view permission in order to access the IDS panel and perform any operation.
Select IDS Panels or , IDS Areas or , IDS Points, or IDS Outputs individually to give specific access.
Restricting Alarms and Events using Velocity Roles
The Velocity settings has have an option to restrict alarms and events based on operator roles in Velocity. To enable this option:
Right-click the Velocity Service Control Manager icon on the Windows taskbar and select Settings.
The Velocity Settings window displays.
Go to System->Advanced in Velocity Settings.
Enable Restrict alarms and events using the Velocity Roles checkbox and click OK.

Limitation
The Bosch IDS plugin has the following limitation.
When changes to the Area/Point/Output names of the IDS panel occur through the RPS tool, the new names will not appear in Velocity until the IDS panel has reconnected to Velocity. The workaround is disabling and re-enabling the panel or restarting the Velocity IDS service.
