Honeywell Adds Video Alarm Verification To Key Connected Building Offerings
Honeywell has enhanced several key commercial products with cloud-based, video alarm verification (VAV) technology to help verify alarm severity and combat one of the security industry’s most common challenges: false alarms. The company’s AlarmNet communications network has expanded its integration with the patented I-View Now VAV technology through Honeywell’s Performance Series DVR and NVR offerings, in addition to other video recording products.
The integration can help central station operators gather more information through pre-alarm video footage, allowing them to look in and assess the cause and severity of an event — helping to curb false alarms and provide emergency responders with the information they need prior to arrival onsite. This is especially critical as many U.S. police departments are treating verified alarms as higher priorities for response.
