Integrated Alarm Management
ADD-OG-IAM

OnGuard® Integration Add-on

The OnGuard integration allows the i-Vu building automation system and an OnGuard security system to work together. The OnGuard integration solution consists of three add-ons that you can purchase based on your integration needs.

It starts with the Data Connector add-on, which provides the basic communication connection that is needed to transfer data to and from the OnGuard system. The Data Connector is a required component for the HVAC Schedule Optimization add-on.

The Integrated Alarm Management add-on enables the exchange of alarms between the i-Vu system and the OnGuard system.

Key Features

  • Improve Alarm Coverage - Facility staff and security staff can monitor each other’s alarms so that either team can dispatch appropriate personnel regardless of who is currently on shift. Note, the Alarm Management Add-On is used only as a secondary means of notification.
  • Adjust HVAC to Meet Demand - Specified alarms can interact with the i-Vu system equipment and initiate ondemand ventilation for real time response.

Compatibility

  • i-Vu Pro v8.0 or newer
  • Building Integration Platform 1.11 or newer
  • OnGuard version must be:
    • v7.5 or later, using the OpenAccess interface
