Integration Highlights
Automatic Updates and Syncing of Data Changes
Not only does OWS maintain a persistent connection for receiving access and intrusion events, but it also checks for updates to device names and for newly added devices. So when a user changes the name of a sensor or door, the information automatically passes through to OWS with no manual synchronization required.
Easy Video Verification
Receive real-time access and intrusion alerts through OWS, including the Username or ID associated with an event, via mobile push, email, or client notifications for quick video verification. Video verification of events gives you the complete picture of what is happening, so you can better determine what is a real concern, a false alarm, or a teachable moment for an employee.
Cloud to Cloud Integration
OpenEye Web Services and Alarm.com establish a secure and persistent cloud-to-cloud connection. Cloud-to-cloud integration improves connection reliability by eliminating the need to enter static IP addresses or use other networking methods which can fail due to changes in local network settings.
Integration Diagram
Legacy access control integrations rely on VPN tunnels, port forwarding, DDNS, and open inbound ports on the network firewall to facilitate access over the WAN.
The OWS integration with Alarm.com is cloud-to-cloud and links customer accounts in each service to share access control events, device names, and user IDs with OpenEye Web Services and feeds them into the OWS alerts engine, along with data from other connected systems such as alarm panels and video analytics.
The Alarm.com integration with OpenEye Web Services is cloud-to-cloud and leverages OWS’s Web Connect technology to open the OWS web client for remote viewing of video associated with Alarm.com events and activity.
