LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 20, 2007 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced the
launch of the latest addition to its integrated security offering. The new video
management platform integrates seamlessly with Honeywell’s industry leading
Pro-Watch® access control software to provide a single interface that
automatically ties access control events with relevant video. It offers an
easy-to-use and user-friendly method for users to streamline and manage their
video surveillance and access control infrastructure simultaneously.
The unique video management platform bridges the gap between disparate access
control and video surveillance functions, making it an all-inclusive security
management solution. The deployment of this system helps security professionals
more efficiently manage multiple sources of access control and video by giving
the same look, touch, and feel to different technologies. In addition to
providing a common user interface across Honeywell’s video systems, the
platform’s scalable, open architecture offers centralized command and control
capabilities to allow management of third-party video components.
“It’s essential that today’s security technologies work together to provide
real-time information when you need it. Seamless integration is the cornerstone
for providing our customers with proactive security solutions that help to deter
crime,” said Rob Blasofsel, integrated security product manager of
Honeywell.
Because it can leverage the existing video and access control infrastructure
of a site, this new platform offers users the flexibility they need to manage
multiple sites and locations with a combination of centralized and distributed
technology. It also provides rules-based operations that trigger graphical
display of alarms and powerful virtual matrix switching of digital and analog
systems, which enable audit trails using advanced and simple to use search
tools.
“We’re excited about this product because it represents the true integration
of access control and video,” said John Lorenty, president of Honeywell Systems
Group. “We’re confident that this exceptional solution will form the basis of
innovative technology that will revolutionize the future of security and
surveillance installations.”
Honeywell’s Pro-Watch Security Management System is available in three
editions: Enterprise Edition manages an enterprise-wide security system;
Corporate Edition is designed for applications with at least two users and 96
doors; and Professional Edition provides an economical solution for small to
mid-size applications with one to five users and up to 64 entrances.
The new integrated Pro-Watch and video management platform will be
demonstrated at ASIS International 2007. For more information, visit www.honeywellintegrated.com.
