OpenEye has recently announced Location Arming, an intelligent video monitoring tool available in OpenEye Web Services (OWS).
Location Arming is designed to help businesses and organisations everywhere reduce false alarms, saving time and money by leveraging the armed state from connected sensors, third-party panels or Virtual Arm/Disarm in OWS.
The OWS alerting engine uses the armed state of locations to filter alerts and ensure you only get notified when it matters most to your business.
Choose the setup that works best for you
Location Arming in OWS allows users to customise the security systems that best fits business operations, thanks to the company’s open platform.
Whether through third-party sensors, alarm panels or OWS, users can use the armed state of a location to align with security operations, including alert logic.
Only get notified when it matters
Aligning alert logic to the armed state of a location helps to further filter out the noise, ensuring users only get alerted when it truly matters.
In addition to reducing alerts to meaningful events, incorporating the armed state into alert logic streamlines setup and management; no need to edit alert days and times with each location schedule change.
This saves team time, often in the moments when it’s most inconvenient, such as after hours.
If a business has a more complex workflow tied to alerts, the benefits only increase through that process, especially if costs may be incurred for false alerts.
Virtually arm or disarm locations
Virtual Arm/Disarm in OWS allows users to virtually arm or disarm locations in the cloud video platform itself from any device or location with just a click, streamlining security operations and saving users business resources.
Both the web browser and OpenEye mobile apps can utilise this feature, enabling convenient arming of locations from wherever users are.
Users can align security with business hours by creating location schedules in OWS that ensure locations are armed when needed without any manual intervention, connecting alerts for further efficiencies.
For businesses with predictable hours and specific security requirements, location schedules can significantly benefit operations.
