Johnson Controls

Sends Video Surveillance Clips During Alarm Events

CHeKT Visual Alarm Verification, a Johnson Controls partner technology, uses automation to send users a video clip when a building alarm is triggered. Through its 24/7 monitoring center, Johnson Controls operators share a real-time video via text message with a pre-selected list of contacts, allowing users to view the clip on their mobile devices. Users then have two minutes to select whether they want to alert the police or disregard the alarm before the operator intervenes. This solution can help prevent false alarm dispatch and works with most open network video interface forum (ONVIF) cameras. Image courtesy of Johnson Controls
