Honeywell has introduced MAXPRO Cloud. It’s described as a hosted service that gives organisations access to their video anywhere with an Internet connection, and without the need for IT expertise or firewall configurations. MAXPRO Cloud offers a method for installers to offer these video services to their customers and generating recurring monthly revenue (RMR), the manufacturers add.
It’s said to be suitable for retailers, multi-location franchises, restaurants, small businesses and commercial offices, and warehouses and storage sites. For example:
The cloud product allows users to connect legacy analogue cameras to the cloud and add new, higher-quality IP cameras as needs change
The system’s MAXPRO Connect feature reduces the need for IT skills and the hassle of communicating through firewalls
A single login allows organisations to more easily manage multiple locations at once to save time and resources
The system is updated automatically when new features or security enhancements are available, which also reduces service costs for installers.
The system can notify end users via email if an alarm or event occurs from true motion detection; from an input point such as glass-break, motion sensor, or contacts; or during arming or disarming. The end user can then log into any web-connected device and view the video alarm. The service can also monitor the performance of a system to ensure uptime, allowing an installer to react if they receive notification that a camera has lost power or the local device has stopped recording video.
Redo Bezzo, product manager, Honeywell Security Group, says: “Almost everything a consumer uses today can be accessed via a laptop, smartphone or tablet, so it’s practically a necessity for installers to be able to provide customers access to their video anytime, anywhere. MAXPRO Cloud gives organisations peace of mind knowing they’ll always have access to their video when they need it most.”
