Eagle Eye Networks launches Eagle Eye Automations

Eagle Eye Networks has announced the launch of Eagle Eye Automations to improve security, safety and business operations.

“Work together effectively”

Dean Drako, CEO, Eagle Eye Networks commented: “Today’s security systems are complex, increasingly incorporating video surveillance, AI, analytics, sensors and other third-party devices and technologies. Eagle Eye Automations enable disparate components to work together effectively.

“Automations simplify operations for the business owner, reduce the need for manual intervention and extra staff, ensure timely responses and strengthen overall security management.”

Triggered actions

Eagle Eye Automations works by connecting multiple systems within the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS (video management system), defining rules for various events, such as when a person/vehicle is detected or a certain license plate is recognised leading to triggered automatic actions.

Examples of actions include sending real-time notifications, automatically locking or unlocking doors, or sending information to a third-party professional monitoring center.

The company claims that this can be easily configured and managed through the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS, all Automations can be customised to the specific needs of any business.

Eagle Eye Automation

Eagle Eye revealed that the Automations include:

Theft Deterrence Automation

• At an auto dealership, AI detects a person moving through the car lot after-hours, triggering a connection with a professional monitoring station and initiating an audio warning to leave the area

Intrusion Detection Automation

• In a restricted area, AI detects a person or movement, triggering an API integration via webhook, initiating actions such as opening a door, turning on a light or playing an audio clip

Parking Automation

• At a university carpark, a video surveillance system with License Plate Recognition (LPR) detects an unauthorised vehicle attempting to enter
• The gate does not open and the license plate is recorded in the system for further investigation

Water Damage Prevention Automation

• Sensor detects water and a notification is sent to the facility manager, who checks on camera and then shuts down the water supply

Air Quality Automation

• In a high school bathroom, a sensor detects vaping and sends an alert to the school resource officer (SRO)
• The SRO verifies the event, gains additional information from security cameras located in the hallway outside the bathroom and is ready to take informed action

System Healthcheck Automation

• At a commercial business, an offline camera is detected, triggering a ticket creation for repair and a notification to the reseller and business manager

Retail Intelligence Automation

• At a retail store, when AI detects people entering the store within the first five minutes of opening, the manager is notified that the store has opened on time

“This automation redefines what’s possible”

Eagle Eye collaborated with iNet Security and Surveillance of San Antonio, Texas, on a new Automation with Immix central station monitoring software that makes video monitoring more accessible and cost effective for businesses.

Steven Ballard, Managing Member, iNet Security and Surveillance commented: “By eliminating restrictions on camera compatibility, simplifying setup, removing the need for port forwarding or VPNs, enhancing video analysis and reducing costs, this automation redefines what’s possible in remote video monitoring.

“The automation supports two-way speaker functionality, and enhanced people and vehicle detection analytics. It also includes push and email notifications for customers who prefer to self-monitor,” Ballard concluded.

Benefits

The company notes that the benefits of Eagle Eye Automations include:

• Streamlined operations – Automations minimise manual intervention and reduce operational inefficiencies
• Proactive alarm management – Instant alerts enable teams to act quickly on critical events
• Centralised control – All rules, alerts and actions are managed and configured through a single interface
• Scalability – Adapts to growing operational needs, whether for small businesses or large enterprises
• Sophisticated response – In addition to user notifications such as email or push alerts, Automations can also send alerts to central station monitoring platforms such as Immix and Sentinel or trigger physical actions via a webhook
