OpenEye has announced its new active deterrence solutions, available on supported OpenEye cameras through OpenEye Web Services (OWS).
Deterrence solutions
OWS’ active deterrence solutions help strengthen security by discouraging unwanted behaviour before it escalates.
OpenEye cameras equipped with white light LEDs can automatically activate in response to configured alerts, drawing attention to suspicious activity as it occurs to help deescalate critical incidents and reduce the number of overall threats.
With active deterrence solutions in place, businesses can trust that their locations are secured around the clock with advanced, intelligent surveillance.
Active deterrence
OpenEye active deterrent cameras help businesses strengthen security and minimise risk with a range of powerful features and benefits.
These cameras discourage suspicious or unwanted behaviour with automatic white light activation triggered by alert conditions in OWS, including motion detection or other analytic events, as well as sensor-based events.
Deterrence behaviour can be further customised with strobe or solid light modes and adjustable activation duration, providing greater flexibility in how an organisation uses the device.
When used in conjunction with multi-region alerts, active deterrence serves as the first line of defence, creating a layered security approach that ensures events are only escalated when necessary.
The company highlighted that by visually deterring threats before they cross onto your property, it helps reduce false alarms and limits notifications to monitoring personnel only when issues persist, minimising unnecessary calls to central stations or law enforcement and improving overall response accuracy.
Active deterrent cameras enhance visibility and awareness in monitored areas by drawing attention to activity as it occurs, reducing the risk of after-hours incidents, trespassing or vandalism through visible, proactive response while reducing costs associated with false alarms.
Location arming
The company noted that by pairing active deterrence solutions with other features in OWS, such as Location Arming, businesses can design a security system that works for them with minimal intervention needed.
Location Arming will ensure active deterrence is only triggered when the location is armed, helping strengthen safety while avoiding disruptions during normal business operations.
Two-way audio supported cameras provide an additional deterrence solution, enabling team members or professional security staff to listen and talk down to individuals seen on camera remotely, OpenEye adds.
Two-way audio allows immediate response to push alerts, which can be used to provide audible deterrence to would-be vandals.
