System Galaxy -> OpenEye Web ServicesThis integration enables System Galaxy's monitoring software to retrieve video through OpenEye Web Services (OWS) and to view it natively in System Galaxy.
NOTE: This integration is only available with certain licensing tiers. See OWS Licensing OWS Licensing for more information.
What you getView live or archived video from OWS recorders directly in System Galaxy.
System Galaxy establishes a connection to recorders through OpenEye Web Services' Web Connect technology, improving connection reliability and eliminating the need to manually enter or update connection settings.
This OWS integration enables both live and retrospective video verification of alarms and events through the System Galaxy application.
Most integrations between central station software and video systems rely on port forwarding, DDNS, VPN access, or open inbound ports on the network firewall to facilitate remote connectivity. Changes to an end-user's network can easily result in lost connectivity.
OpenEye Web Services eliminates this complex and potentially unreliable network setup by using Web Connect to establish a trusted outbound connection from the onsite recorder. System Galaxy places connection requests through the OWS cloud portal and Web Connect completes the connection to serve up video every time.
