OpenEye has announced the release of its Location Arming, an intelligent video monitoring tool available in OpenEye Web Services (OWS). 

Location Arming is reportedly designed to help businesses and organisations everywhere reduce false alarms, saving time and money by leveraging the armed state from connected sensors, third-party panels or Virtual Arm/Disarm in OWS.

The OWS alert engine reportedly uses the armed state of locations to filter alerts and ensure customers only get notified when it matters most to your business. 

Tailored Location Arming

Location Arming in OWS is said to allow end users to customise their security system to best fit their business operations, thanks to the open platform.

Whether via third‑party sensors, alarm panels or OWS itself, customers can reportedly use a location’s armed state to align alert logic and security operations – and easily leverage that same state to streamline workflows, enhance security and make smarter decisions regardless of system architecture.

Notifications that matter

Aligning alert logic to the armed state of a location is said to help further filter out the noise, ensuring customers only get alerted when it truly matters. 

In addition to reducing alerts to meaningful events, the company has reportedly incorporated the armed state into alert logic streamlines setup and management – no need to edit alert days and times with each location schedule change.

This is said to save businesses team time, often in the moments when it’s most inconvenient, such as after hours.

OpenEye has articulated that for businesses with more complex alert workflows, the benefits compound – especially when false alerts carry real costs.

Intuitive lock system

Virtual Arm/Disarm in OWS reportedly allows users to virtually arm or disarm locations in the cloud video platform itself from any device or location with just a click, streamlining security operations and saving your business resources.

The company has articulated that both the web browser and OpenEye mobile apps can utilise this feature, enabling convenient arming of locations from wherever you are. 

Security can reportedly be aligned with business hours through location schedules in OWS, ensuring that locations are automatically armed when required.

This is said to connect alerts for increased efficiency without manual intervention

For businesses with predictable hours and specific security requirements, location schedules can, according to the company, significantly benefit operations. 

The intuitive lock icon is said to instantly show whether a site is armed or disarmed, giving you peace of mind wherever you are.
