About: Sensor integrations

Last modified: Wednesday March 15, 2023.

By purchasing sensor integration licenses for the Alta Aware® deployment, you gain the ability to integrate various sensors located within your buildings and sites with your Aware Cloud deployment.

By linking your sensors, such as those produced by IPVideo Corporation or Disruptive Technologies, you gain improved insights into the activities and environmental conditions on site, all displayed in the Aware Cloud user interface alongside your video information, site maps, and, if integrated, your access control points.

Once you have purchased a suitable sensor integration license, you add your chosen sensors to your Aware deployment, link the cameras in the area of the sensors so that you have visibility of the zone around the sensor, and update your Map view to reflect the location of each sensor.

Placing representations of each sensor on the Aware Cloud Map view and associating it with cameras in the area enables the operators to not only see the location of each sensor, but to also view the status and readings from that sensor.

Sensor types suitable for existing integrations with Aware

Sensors from different manufacturers operate in different ways and measure different parameters.

Disruptive Technologies sensors

Disruptive Technologies sensors are single source, single channel devices. Each sensor measures a single parameter, for example, temperature, or proximity. Simply deploy sensors to measure what you want, where you want.

Halo sensors from IPVideo Corporation

Halo sensors from IPVideo Corporation measure multiple parameters form a single sensor location. When configuring your Halo sensors, you can select any combination of the parameters available from the physical sensor.
