Connected Technologies has unveiled a significant enhancement to the Connect ONE® platform, designed to boost the intelligence of video surveillance and improve integration with onsite security systems through expanded network video recorder (NVR) capabilities.
This update leverages advanced video analytics to revolutionize surveillance by transforming cameras into proactive tools for detecting critical events, minimizing the need for constant human monitoring or the scrutiny of generic motion triggers.
Enhanced Video Analytics and Integration
The Connect ONE system now includes the Camera Motion & Analytical Event Capture feature, which uses video analytics to automatically identify and capture alerts from cameras.

This simplifies the process of monitoring across individual or multiple customer locations by integrating video-detected events with other connected systems. As a result, outputs can be activated, doors locked, and mass notifications triggered for audio alerts and digital signage. Users can maintain live views from camera streams while managing access, performing automation tasks, or modifying user codes.
Streamlined Event Identification and Action
Real-time analytics are fed into Connect ONE, where they are logged, generate notifications, and can be viewed alongside related intrusion and access control activities.
Video verification links alarms and access control events to cameras, facilitating bookmarking and camera preset control on NVRs. Users receive alerts via email or SMS text, allowing them to respond promptly to video-triggered events displayed onscreen.
Advanced Features for Users
Users have the option to create Virtual Zones for logging motion and analytical activities
Connect ONE Event Rules can be activated based on NVR triggers, enabling actions such as report logging, notifications, and system control adjustments like arming or disarming.
Users have the option to create Virtual Zones for logging motion and analytical activities, such as vehicle or person detection. Zones can be mapped onto satellite imagery with GeoView for quicker location identification. Additionally, embedded NVR health monitoring and status updates bolster system monitoring to ensure operational uptime.
Unified Cloud Management
“Connect ONE recognises the importance of analytics and video verification for a safer, holistic security solution,” stated Dan Simon, Technical Director at Connected Technologies. “Our goal is to continue to develop and release enhancements that help our partners and users make the most of the latest technology and simplify the management and control of all installed solutions.”
Connect ONE serves as a comprehensive cloud management platform, consolidating system information and intelligence to facilitate easy access, management, and control. This unified approach supports security professionals in optimizing their surveillance capabilities and ensures seamless integration across various security solutions.
