Connect One lets users control and manage solutions that include security, access control, video, energy management and more from an intuitive interface that is accessible from a PC, laptop, smartphone or tablet. The new integration allows users to check status, arm or disarm systems, view live video or snapshots from Bosch IP cameras integrated with panels and lock, unlock or secure doors within G Series systems that include access control.
“Through the integration with Connect ONE, we’re able to offer dealers and end users even greater flexibility for interacting with and controlling their Bosch systems — whether they prefer a laptop, tablet or smartphone,” said Tom Mechler, applications design manager, Bosch Security Systems. “This enhances the user experience and allows our dealers to increase their competitive edge by providing greater value to their customers.”
