GMS now offering Alarm.com Visual Verification Monitoring
How Alarm.com Visual Verification works with GMS’s Proactive Video Monitoring Solutions:
The following outlines the workflow of Alarm.com Visual Verification with GMS’s Proactive Video Monitoring Solutions:
- Alarm signal is sent to GMS’s stages™ automation platform, and the operator simply selects an integrated “launch browser” icon.
- The browser launches the Alarm.com Visual Verification Event for the operator.
- The operator is taken to a gallery that shows images and/or video clips with an option to see live views of all video cameras.
o The gallery shows:
- Images/Clips for all hardware that supports images/clips being sent to Alarm.com.
- Images/Clips that occurred 15 minutes before the alarm, during the alarm, and 15 minutes after the alarm.
o Live view sessions are recorded as clips.
o An operator has up to 24 hours from the time of the alarm event to view the images/clips.
o Actions taken by the operator are audited within Alarm.com and within GMS’s stages™ automation platform.
- The following events are audited:
o Visual verification session started (i.e., operator launched the visual verification window).
o Operator viewed a video clip or image.
o Operator viewed live video.
- Audited images/clips are retained by Alarm.com for three years from the alarm event.
