While other GenAI solutions are used for searching recorded video, IVA Pro Context is the first solution that uses simple prompts to generate detailed descriptions of events or elements in a scene that resemble those from a human operator.
With IVA Pro Context, users can create custom prompts for precise monitoring and response without training the analytics for specific objects or behaviors.
By effectively distinguishing between typical and suspicious behaviors, such as standing next to a door
versus picking a lock, IVA Pro Context improves security by reducing false alarms, allowing security personnel to focus on genuine threats.
Business Enablement Tools
Solutions360, Inc.
Q360 Enterprise

Q360 delivers measurable financial impact by helping integrators increase revenue, control costs, and improve margins. Its unified platform eliminates duplicate data entry and disconnected systems, reducing administrative overhead and costly errors.
Real-time job costing and financial visibility prevent margin erosion, while built-in resource planning and employee utilization tracking maximize billable labor from existing teams. Embedded AI tools further reduce non-billable administrative time, allowing staff to focus on revenue-generating activities.
By improving operational efficiency and labor performance, Q360 drives stronger cash flow, higher profitability, and greater long-term enterprise value.
Central Station Monitoring
ADI
WattBox Power Insights Dashboard

Power Insights helps integrators reduce service calls, troubleshoot faster, and protect system uptime. By identifying power irregularities, environmental risks and UPS backup behavior early, dealers can resolve issues remotely before they impact clients.
Device and outlet-level insights accelerate diagnostics, while historical power data supports better system design, proactive maintenance, and stronger service plans.
Because Power Insights is embedded within OvrC and compatible WattBox products, integrators gain advanced power analytics without additional hardware or software costs. The result is greater operational efficiency, improved system reliability, and higher customer confidence.
Deadbolts/Physical Locks
ProdataKey (PDK)
Red Wireless Locksets

The Red Wireless Locksets eliminate the need to pull wire to doors, allowing for a simplified installation experience. But that’s not all — by reducing the amount of wiring necessary, the Red Locksets allow integrators to save money and resources during projects. Additionally, like all PDK Red devices, the Red Locksets are automatically discoverable in PDK.io — ensuring that configuration is as simple as possible.
Electronic Access Control
iLOQ
X50S Mortise Cylinder

The X50S is built for speed and scalability. It retrofits into existing mortise cylinders in under five minutes, allowing integrators to upgrade doors without wiring, door modifications, or return visits. That means more installs per day, faster project completion and lower labor costs.
With no reliance on Wi-Fi or network infrastructure, it enables deployments in remote, offline, or limited environments where traditional access control isn’t viable. Eliminating batteries also removes ongoing maintenance and common failure points, reducing callbacks while opening new retrofit revenue opportunities in existing buildings.
Emergency Communications
Brivo
Brivo Genius Mobile Agent

Brivo Genius Mobile Agent uses natural language navigation to revolutionize emergency response. Administrators can execute critical commands, such as “Activate full lockdown,” using simple voice or text prompts. Unlike search-only chatbots, Brivo Genius transforms mobile security management from a reactive tool into a proactive, life-saving business enabler.
Fire/Life Safety
Shooter Detection Systems
SDS Perimeter Outdoor Gunshot Detection System

SDS Perimeter is built from the ground up to be the most accurate outdoor gunshot detection sensor on the market.
Key features include:
1. The first outdoor sensor that uses both infrared and acoustic sensors to detect and verify a gunshot
2. Advanced machine learning algorithms significantly reduce false alerts from fireworks and car backfires
3. Advanced threat detection in the form of: Identifying firearm type: long-gun vs. handgun, detects low caliber handgun (e.g., 9-millimeter) to high powered long-gun. Sub and supersonic detection capabilities and a detection accuracy rate greater than 99%.
Home Controls
ADI
Control4 X4

The Acoem ATD system integrates seamlessly with existing VMS and PoE infrastructure, allowing integrators to prioritize high-value hardware and recurring services over complex labor. Edge-processing makes the system highly scalable; integrators can expand from a single facility to city-wide networks without the “truck rolls” required for server-side recalibration.
This plug-and-play ecosystem ensures optimized margins and faster turnover, providing a reliable, AI-driven life-safety solution that grows with client needs. Additionally, Acoem’s Partner Success Program provides deep engagement and support, helping integrators navigate every project with confidence.
Intrusion Detection
Digital Monitoring Products (DMP)
JamAlert

JamAlert gives integrators a concrete answer to one of security’s most pressing vulnerabilities and a strong upsell opportunity. It differentiates their offering in a competitive market by addressing a threat most competitors don’t have a solution for.
Because it integrates with any control panel, installation is fast and programming is familiar, protecting labor margins. Offering JamAlert also deepens customer trust and reduces liability exposure as dealers can demonstrate they’ve actively protected against known defeat methods. The result is stronger recurring revenue potential, higher system value and a clear conversation starter during new installations and system reviews.
Miscellaneous Security Products

The integrated Alarm.com and CHeKT solution enables service providers to unlock new revenue through premium video monitoring without adding on‑site complexity. Dealers do not need to install a separate CHeKT Video Control Panel for the integration to work with Alarm.com systems, reducing hardware costs, labor and installation time.
Arming and disarming status sync between the Alarm.com panel and CHeKT is handled entirely in the cloud, eliminating hardwiring between devices. These cloud‑based efficiencies simplify deployment, improve scalability across property types and let operators manage video and intrusion events in one interface, reducing workload, minimizing false alarms and improving overall service quality.
Video Cameras
