App Keeps Access, Video & Intrusion in Harmony
AMAG Technology released Harmony, a web server application that can help security personnel manage AMAG’s Symmetry™ Security Management System. The app is browser-based, meaning it can run on any device equipped with a modern web browser, including laptops, smartphones, and tablets. Harmony is an ASP.NET web service that is installed on the user’s local network, and supports the standard Symmetry SMS and Symmetry Homeland SMS.
Harmony facilitates real time, on-the-spot monitoring and control from anywhere. Harmony gives users the power of a Symmetry SMS Client on a handheld device. It allows users in real-time to verify and manage cards, clear alarms, view activity and live video, muster, and control hardware out in the field.
8 More Minutes With IQ
After the success of the previous “2 Minutes with IQ” videos, featured in Digital Shuffle in September 2011, IQ Certification produced four sequels — now available on YouTube.
The IQ Certification program, a voluntary installation quality certification program for security alarm systems, produced these series of short videos called “2 Minutes with IQ” to increase awareness among central stations and dealers in the industry.
The videos are concise and provide valuable information for the security industry, law enforcement and consumers.
