Pro-Watch 4.3 creates integrator pathway to new connected buildings customers

Honeywell’s latest Pro-Watch security management system version provides a simplified, mobile-friendly interface enabling connected verticals.

The Pro-Watch security management system, which connects different buildings within an enterprise or organisation, has been updated to include custom solutions for connected campuses, as well as a new portal for the airport market to help lower the cost of managing of airport vendors. Pro-Watch 4.3 incorporates access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection in one scalable management system that can accommodate more than a million card-holders and 10,000 doors.

Verticals/sectors

  • Banking and finance
  • University campuses and research facilities
  • Manufacturing
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Utilities and energy, including nuclear
  • Airports
  • Oil and gas facilities

Features

  • New application programme interface (API) allowing integration with other operational services to help integrators support business growth through a new set of potential customers
  • 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

Compatibility

  • 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.
  • Through the new mobile app, facility managers can control hardware, look up badge holder information, and enable/disable card access from their mobile device at any time, with mobile client support currently available on iOS devices, with Android compatibility coming soon

Honeywell says

“Our customers want a proven solution with an open architecture and world-class service that they can use worldwide. Now, with its expanded integration and mobile capabilities, Pro-Watch 4.3 provides even more value to enterprise customers, offering more flexibility to manage and leverage existing equipment investments across their global businesses,” says Eric Green, senior global product manager.
