ProdataKey & Digital Watchdog Access Control/VMS Integration Available
ProdataKey (PDK), manufacturer of a cloud access control platform built for mobile, announced its integration with DW’s Spectrum IPVMS video management platform.
The pdk io/DW integration allows users of a DW Spectrum system to review all pdk io event data from within the IPVMS interface and enables more efficient and effective security monitoring through automated responses to access-related events, the company described. For example, activity at a door reader or a door propped open can activate the movement of a PTZ camera to provide corresponding coverage, initiate the pop-up of a video layout, send email notifications to designated users, generate an audio alarm at the monitoring workstation, and create a bookmark within the recorded video stream at the time of the event. A flexible rules engine makes it easy for installing dealers, integrators and system administrators to program these and other sequences. In addition, the integration allows DW Spectrum users to send commands back to the pdk io system to open or close doors, enable or disable certain features like “do not disturb,” and even trigger a lockdown. The result is a comprehensive security solution, accessible through a single interface, which delivers far more features and functionality than the two systems operating independently.
