ProdataKey (PDK), a leading cloud-based, mobile-first access control platform is excited to highlight its partnership with OpenEye, an industry-leading cloud-managed video surveillance provider. With cloud-based management systems, these advanced security tools work together to offer a seamless solution for any application.
Security in the Cloud
PDK.io integrates seamlessly with OpenEye Web Services (OWS), the cloud-managed platform from OpenEye. This integration allows system managers to capture access events from PDK devices and process them using a variety of video verification tools in OWS. Ian Siemer, VP of Product and Marketing at OpenEye said, “We’re thrilled to combine the power of our OWS cloud-managed video platform with PDK access control, delivering more actionable intelligence to users through alerts and streamlined search, strengthening their business’ security.”
In Episode 110 of the Big Access Podcast, Scott Spencer, Senior Strategic Account Manager at OpenEye, highlights the value of the cloud for this integration:
“With this integration, everything is always updated–there are no more delays. So if PDK adds a new feature, we ingest that right out of the gate from the cloud-to-cloud integration.”
With seamless updates and intuitive cloud-based management, PDK’s integration with OpenEye guarantees a simple, reliable security experience for all applications.
Access and Surveillance for the Retail World
One of the industries that benefits the most from the PDK and OpenEye integration is the retail world. Integrated cloud-based access control and video management provides a proactive and reactive approach to security, allowing retailers to protect staff, customers, and important resources.
Together, ProdataKey and OpenEye allow retail managers to stay on top of all events in their space, with the use of features like instant alerts and video verification. Scott highlights the importance of time-sensitive security in his appearance on the Big Access Podcast. In retail spaces, “time is of the essence,” he explains. “If the bad guy was there a second ago, it’s really nice to get that video footage to authorities within minutes, rather than hours.” By sending automatic notifications of important access events and pairing it with subsequent surveillance footage, PDK and OpenEye give retailers the tools needed to respond to and discourage security threats in their spaces.
Using an Integrated Dashboard
The ProdataKey and OpenEye management systems come together to provide a unified and simple administrative experience. ProdataKey’s VP of Marketing, Brach Bengtzen, explains the simple process of linking PDK.io and OWS: “From the PDK.io side of things, all you need to do is go to the Integrations page, enable OpenEye, log-in, and then you can simply link your cameras to your doors right then and there. At that point, it sends all sorts of bookmarked events right to OpenEye, so when you’re in the OpenEye software you can find those critical events instantly.”
The simple compatibility of the two platforms guarantees a seamless security management experience for any system owner or administrator. Rather than constantly switching between the two platforms, this integration allows the two platforms to sync and communicate with ease–saving users lots of time and effort.
