Even enterprises using non-Honeywell equipment, including third-party solutions including video management systems, physical security information management solutions, visitor management, biometric readers and key management systems can be integrated into the platform
The new Pro-Watch platform is compatible with many legacy systems, so end-users can optimise their hardware investments while still facilitating the creation of a true connected building
Pro-Watch 4.3 also features a new vendor management portal, for airports, which is designed to help reduce the labour and time required to handle initial badge set up and changes, and supports compliance with clear auditable controls

Pro-Watch 4.3 is wholly compatible with other Honeywell solutions including MAXPRO VMS, HUS VMS, VISTA and Galaxy intrusion solutions
The new platform also is optimised for mobile control, allowing site security staff to manage time-sensitive access rights from any location.
