Designed to promote behavioral change through wider access to critical facility control parameters, Periscope enables a high level of engagement by facility stakeholders that, for the first time, can see the real-time impact of the choices they make in the utilization of facility resources like lighting, electricity, water, and other consumables. Using Periscope, facility operators can truly become “agents of change”, with the ability to dramatically influence the demand on limited resources.
Periscope (versions 3.0+) must run on a Niagara4 station, version 4.0 or higher. Periscope version 2.4+ can only run on AX version 3.7, 3.8 or Niagara 4, however. A station is defined as an instance of Niagara running on a hardware platform, so Web Supervisors and JACEs are considered stations. It is strongly recommended that Periscope run on a Niagara Web Supervisor station due to the increased storage capacity, but it can be installed on any Niagara4 compatible JACE station also.
Any station running the Periscope service should have at least 6MB available. The Periscope module itself takes up about 2MB, and it will need room to maintain configuration and user dashboard options.
Periscope is a web application and requires a modern browser. Officially supported browsers include IE10+ as well as the latest versions of Chrome and Firefox.

Periscope 3.0 runs as a service on a Niagara4 station (a platform marketed by most of the major controls suppliers) and can be easily integrated with third party BACnet™, LonWorks™, Modbus and other standard protocols. It provides a web-based client that can graphically display and analyze any information contained in the automation control system, as well as related items like weather, occupancy, and production from other traditional databases.
Periscope is unique in its ability to allow each and every user the ability to easily customize (in minutes) their own “views” of various data, histories, and metrics, including energy trends, building comparisons, weather data, network status, consumption efficiencies, key performance indices, and more. Periscope can even display the custom pages built with proprietary graphics tools, thus preserving prior investments while enabling side-by-side comparisons of operating graphics with related variables and performance trends.
