German term

Wachensteuerung

German to English Bus/Financial Telecom(munications) Financial projections
The term an item on the list contained in this sentence:

Die Vereinigung von Funk-Telefonie, Sprachaufzeichnung, Wachensteuerung, Türsprechstellen und Videoüberwachung über eine intuitive Bedienoberfläche liefert die optimale Kommunikationslösung für Ihren Leitstellenarbeitsplatz.

I suspect (and could be wrong) that it refers to systems that control the movements of security guards patrolling around a piece of real estate.

Any ideas?

TIA

@ Claudia Your are right. "Wache" means station for police, fire brigade, rescue teams, etc.

Steuerung der Haustechnik Hello Jaime!
I don't think this is what you thought. "Wache" doesn't seem to refer here to "guards" but to "station". I think the term refers to the HVAC systems in fire departments and rescue stations. Have a look at this:

Note from asker:
Thanks very much! That looks like the meaning is correct. I was trying to avoid the term "guard" (because of its distracting historical associations), but if that expression is the standard one, I suppose I'm stuck with it.

agree Steffen Walter : Although "Wachensteuerung" not only refers to building services but also to the management of emergency services (fire brigades, paramedics etc. on on-call duty).

Dankeschön!
disagree Johannes Gleim : I see no link between your German reference and the translation. We are not dealing with security guards. Smart Guard Control … es möglich, viele Prozesse eines Sicherheitsdienstes automatisch zu generieren. https://smart-guard-control.de/features.html

It can also be applied as a remotely controlled station to activate remote solar-powered cameras, pumps, or public warning devices such as beacons, message signs, gates, and sirens controlled directly by remote commands initiated by OneRain’s Contrail Base Station and Contrail Server software.

The same organic growth applies to individual stations and to an entire monitoring network. When adding another remotely controlled station, simply use the built-in wizard to set up the connection.
