An easy and cost-effective way to add video to your monitored alarm system

We must learn to rethink security and adapt to the actual security needs of a client. With the Intelligent Visual Monitoring a complete security solution can be created that is tradition and preventative by design. With OPTEX Intelligent Visual Monitoring solution, intrusion detection sensors and panic buttons can be connected with IP cameras giving the alarm monitoring station the ability to visualise what has set the alarm off. The solution consists of an IP hardware device, the OPTEX Bridge, and a software solution hosted in the cloud. It's an easy, fast and accurate complete visual verification solution without compromising the integrity of the existing security system.

Scalability

The CHeKT software allows you to grow your security as the needs and requirements of your site grow. Allowing for sites to be optimised without any disruption. Furthermore, it allows you to bring multiple sites from around the globe into a central location from where they can be managed. It gives you secure access to your sites across multiple platforms. From the portal, you have access to all systems that have been set up, all of which can be managed by your security integrator.

Encryption

OPTEX and CHeKT have created a system that not only meets your security needs but also secures your security with all data connections encrypted with SSL/TLS. All video data is encrypted when being transferred, and the software allows for all devices to be secured on a subnet. We also operate with secure cloud data retention storage which is customizable to your site. As standard we store 30 days of critical data. CHeKT is an open protocol solution, with multiple third-party integrations. The software is both backwards and forward-compatible creating an IoT solution without infrastructure upgrades.

Customisability

CheKT works with multiple camera and sensor types on a single site because it uses ONVIF standards created to enable devices to communicate with each other. It enables businesses to retain existing hardware and creates a completely bespoke security solution. Smart technology can also be integrated into existing security systems if required. Such cloud-based technology can also grow as the business grows. All the current on-site technology can be updated remotely and replaced over time as it becomes outdated or as sites expand and needs change. Through the cloud, multiple sites across multiple geographies can be optimised individually, at a reasonable cost and without disrupting day to day activities.

System Analytics

The software is both backwards and forwards compatible creating an IoT solution without infrastructure upgrades. CHeKT software allows you to integrate smart technology into your security system. To help reduce nuisance alarms we are integrated with intrusion detection sensors, deep learning analytics, facial recognition, and man-down software technology partners. Helping to optimise your site and ensure only the alarms that are required trigger.

Platforms

The OPTEX CHeKT platform offers capabilities for your security to be managed on multiple levels. Have access that allows your security team to manage all connected devices, management of alarms via your own security setup, or your chosen security monitoring partner and the ability to view and manage events and alarms from the comfort of your own phone via an end user app.

Residential

CHeKT software is fully encrypted and can combine any existing alarm panel and CCTV system; creating a secure security system, with full privacy features and multi-user functionality. It can allow you to enjoy the ease of professional monitoring, or set up a self-monitored system, which can utilize reliable analytics and sensor technology. Allowing the homeowner peace of mind that their system meets their needs, creating a fully accountable proactive solution. CHeKT also allows you to connect any external cameras and bring up all required footage instantly of any entry points when an indoor detector is triggered without the need for the homeowner to install indoor cameras.

Warehousing

Keeping track of stock, and lone workers in a warehousing environment can be difficult. CHeKT allows you to do both, and get intelligent visual verification the moment an alarm is raised. Make sure your commercial assets and workforce are safely protected. Not only can we combine a site's full security needs into one software system, but we can also allow you to create small remote systems for stock that may be in third-party bonded warehouses allowing you to take full control of your entire security solution, across all your assets globally.

Retail

CHeKT creates an agile solution to suit your needs, allowing you to protect, employees, customers, stock and buildings into one security solution utilising your existing infrastructure. We work with a number of third-party integrations, to create cutting-edge unique solutions, for example combining your CCTV, lone worker and security solution into one manageable software, that meets the demands of the industry. Additionally, the scalability of the software allows a client to schedule their upgrade so that it can be achieved in a cost-efficient manner. We work with you to create bespoke solutions, for each retailer that prioritises their needs.

Commercial

The needs of the workforce and the working environment has changed. CHeKT allows you a scalable solution that can work across your global infrastructure network. Our encryption level ensures that video is securely transported both in and out of our cloud, enabling you to have a secure security system at all times. Not only protecting your site but also your information. Our software can allow your keyholders to have complete situational awareness remotely over every event that happens, meaning they can remain safe whilst they protect your property.

Utilities

Our software-based solution is integrated with the leading security technologies, to meet all your sites needs. Working from the outside in on your site, we can ensure that your system can incorporate your perimeter detection, cctv, restricted area, and access control functions into one solution. CHeKT can additionally allow you to manage multiple remote sites under one system in a proactive manner. The ability for CHeKT software to not only detect and manage but additionally generate multiple outcomes, including live talk downs onto sites, means that when response time is critical, you can respond the moment the activation starts.

Healthcare

CheKT is being used within the healthcare industry to create a tailored solution, which can be tightly controlled. We work with providers to help make sure restricted areas stay restricted, with instant verification if breached. Our system can allow you to create one solution that can encompass multiple restricted areas across a site into one managed system, that can be accessed from any chosen location. With a full audit trail or every action taken within the software, your system can remain safe and accountable. Furthermore, CHeKT's privacy features mean that you can keep all visual information hidden until released by additional access user controls, creating a tailored system for how all information is handled.
