Organizations
can capitalize on their intrusion systems by taking advantage of
alarm panel integrations with OpenEye Web Services (OWS).
The OWS platform combines the reliability of local recording with the flexibility of the cloud. It integrates with alarm panels to notify users when the system is late to arm, is disarmed during non-business hours or if an emergency exit opens, among other events.
OWS also can
send data and video to users or an alarm monitoring provider, and the
cloud-managed platform allows video verification of incidents on a PC or mobile
device such as a phone or tablet.
