System and method for visualization of history of events using BIM model

A system comprising:

• a memory device that stores, in an events file, activation events detected by a plurality of sensors of a security system protecting a secured area and respective data for each one of the activation events, wherein the respective data for each one of the activation events includes a respective one of the plurality of sensors that detected a respective one of the activation events and a respective time when the respective one of the plurality of sensors detected the respective one of the activation events;
• a user interface device;
• a programmable processor;
• and
• executable control software,
• wherein the programmable processor and the executable control software cause the user interface device to display a building info illation model of the secured area,
• wherein the user interface device receives first user input indicative of a specified time interval including a starting time and an ending time,
• wherein, responsive to receiving the first user input, the programmable processor and the executable control software cause the user interface device to display, superimposed on the building information model, a respective geographic indicator of each one of a set of the activation events for which the respective time when the respective one of the plurality of sensors detected the respective one of the activation events is at or after the starting time and at or before the ending time, and
• wherein the respective geographic indicator of each one of the set of the activation events is displayed at or connected to a respective first location on the building information model corresponding to respective geographical coordinates of a respective second location of the respective one of the plurality of sensors that detected a respective one of the set of the activation events within the secured area.
