Melville, N.Y., March 23, 2017: Honeywell has announced a new iteration of its Pro-Watch security management system that helps “integrators” create connected buildings for enterprise customers more easily.
The company said the solution had been updated to include custom solutions for highly-connected campuses, along with the vendor portal for the airport market to help lower the cost of managing of airport vendors.
Pro-Watch 4.3, said Honeywell in a statement, combined access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, and other business critical functions into one intelligent business management system. The scalable system featured an enhanced user experience and greater integration opportunities that allow integrators to better serve a broader array of enterprise customers with unique needs.
Built with a simplified design for a connected building landscape, the system was ideal for a wide range of companies including those in sectors such as banking, finance, office buildings, campuses, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and utilities, said Honeywell.
The system also had a “new application program interface” (API) that allowed integration with other operational services. The solution was also compatible with many legacy systems, which allowed end-users to stretch their hardware investments while still facilitating the creation of a true connected building.
The new platform, said the company, was also optimised for mobile control, allowing site security staff to manage time-sensitive access rights from any location. Through the new mobile app, facility managers can control hardware, look up badge holder information, and enable/disable card access from their mobile device at any time. Mobile client support is currently available on iOS devices, with Android compatibility coming soon.
