  'Incident Commander Pro' - Typical System Requirements

 CPU & RAM: The 'Incident Commander Pro' software will operate quite well on any computer that runs at 2GHz with 512MB RAM or greater. As the program has many graphic-based features faster speeds and more RAM are always beneficial.

 Hard Drive: The program requires about 100MB of hard drive space once installed. A similar amount of free space should be left available on the hard drive after installation, for the program to create temporary files while it is operating.

 Monitors:  'Incident Commander Pro' benefits greatly from the use of a reasonably large display screen - to display as much mission information as possible. A dual monitor system is recommended to display 'Incident Commander Pro' forms on one monitor and the GIS map display on the other monitor.

 Network Card: If the software is to be run over a local network - strongly recommended for most missions - then the computer will require a network card.

 Operating Systems: 'Incident Commander Pro' operates on the Windows 98,  Windows 2000, Windows XP , Windows Vista and Windows 7.
 Windows XP Pro and Windows 7 operating systems are preferred, due to their increased stability.
 

'Incident Commander Pro' - Optimized System Requirements

  Image Optimal Laptop Computer Specifications for 'Incident Commander Pro':
Image Processor Type: Dual core 2.4/2.93 GHz processors.
Image Hard Drive: 300GB to 500 GB / 5400rpm hard drive.
Image RAM: 4GB DDR3 RAM
Image Graphics Card: eg ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5165 with 1GB RAM
     .... The separate graphics card is usually faster than the graphics integrated onto the motherboard.
Image Display: LED backlit 17-inch 1600 x 900.
Image Ethernet Port: 10/100
Image WiFi: Integrated 802.11/n
Image Optical CD Drive: DVD
Image Card Reader: for SD; MMC; MS; MS PRO; xD
Image ESATA Port
     .... up to six times faster than USB2 for data transfer.
Image USB Ports: 3 to 4 ports
Image Battery: Hi Capacity 9000mAh 12-cell lithium ion.
Image Operating System: Windows XP, Windows Server or Windows 7.

 CPU & RAM: 2.4GHz dual core processors, fast DDR3 RAM and the dedicated graphics card. Together these deliver fast loading and refreshing of the processor-intensive digital mapping module.

 Ports: The very fast eSATA port is useful for transferring large (multi Gigabyte) map file collections form a portable hard drive into the computer.
 USB port configuration are recommended to handle barcode scanning and future developments of 'Incident Commander Pro'.

 
Graphics Card: A dedicated graphics card, while not common on laptop computers, provides significantly faster map loading and graphic displays.

 Printer/Copier/Fax:   Brother MFC 6490CW
  .
... Prints both 8-1/2" x 11" and 11" x 17" paper (ideal for printing larger color maps)

Image

 Barcode Scanner: Metrologic MS5145 Eclipse
 
.... Tested and optimized for 'Incident Commander Pro' - ideal for rapid check-in of personnel, organizations, etc.
