Cloud hosted maintenance tool<br />
Honeywell’s Total Connect Pro Manager is a maintenance tool<br />
hosted in the Honeywell Cloud, allowing installers to remotely<br />
access their customers’ Total Connect Box wireless control<br />
panels. Installers can perform diagnostics, adjust<br />
configurations and offer maintenance to customers on the go.<br />
With this information at their fingertips, installers can offer<br />
pre-emptive maintenance to home and small business owners.<br />
For example, installers can alert customers if a battery level is<br />
low on their system, or if a change to a sensor location has<br />
caused poor radio transmission levels. By providing this extra<br />
level of customer service, installers can ensure home and<br />
small business owners are getting the best out of<br />
their Total Connect Box system and prevent costly,<br />
inconvenient site visits.<br />

Open architecture software suite for<br />
seamless integration<br />
The CathexisVision IP Video<br />
Management Software suite<br />
provides a range of<br />
solutions to satisfy security<br />
and infrastructure<br />
management requirements.<br />
The open architecture<br />
enables IP cameras,<br />
recording servers, viewing<br />
infrastructure, and third<br />
party systems suited to a particular application to be integrated.<br />
This provides clients with optimum solutions and maximum<br />
return on investment.<br />
CathexisVision Video Management Software can operate on<br />
both Windows and Linux operating systems with features such as<br />
CatObserver which enables a selected viewing monitor to be<br />
configured as a “virtual camera” so that all the activity viewed on<br />
the computer screen is recorded. CatMobile enables users to<br />
view up to four cameras simultaneously on a smartphone, review<br />
recorded footage from selected cameras and control PTZ cameras<br />
from the user interface. Of particular interest to installers, the<br />
Cathexis Health Manager provides real-time analysis of the<br />
system and can be configured to send alarms to selected<br />
recipients if problems are detected. Camera failures, hard drive<br />
analysis, environmental conditions, communication integrity,<br />
software errors, and other parameters are monitored<br />
to provide peace of mind. The software also provides<br />
full reporting capability to enable you to generate<br />
system status reports. cathexisvideo.com<br />

Limitless interfaces and integrations<br />
SeeTec Cayuga<br />
video<br />
management<br />
software offers<br />
unrestricted<br />
networking<br />
options, with<br />
simple, flexible<br />
administration<br />
and intuitive<br />
use. The system can be used to implement sector-specific and<br />
security-specific solutions of any size or complexity thanks to<br />
its modular Multi Solution Platform meaning that a variety of<br />
functions can be added to the core software via interfaces,<br />
metadata, protocols, expansion modules and sector-specific<br />
solutions – as and when required.<br />
SeeTec Cayuga is not dependent on a specific<br />
manufacturer, over 1000 camera models from around 40<br />
manufacturers supported. Additional camera models can also<br />
be integrated via the ONVIF standard and analogue cameras<br />
and systems are integrated via video servers and can therefore<br />
still be used.<br />
Security systems such as building management and PSIM<br />
systems, access control systems, intruder and fire alarm<br />
systems as well as alarm centres and control room solutions<br />
are integrated via interfaces. Web and mobile clients<br />
are available for remote viewing on tablets and<br />
smartphones.<br />
