BluSKY™ brings any local video to the Cloud. Current integrations include- Milestone, Salient, Exacq, Avigilon, Arcules, and Genetec. The integration also provides a vehicle to integrate BluSKY AI, Access, Alarms, Visitor, Intercom and Biometric applications to create a unified security platform to address all core security functions in one system. The system can run simultaneously on-premise and in the BluBØX Cloud making the entire solution accessible from any device, anywhere, any time by an unlimited number of users.

Video and video events can be seen on any device, anywhere at any time without having to install software or mobile apps. Video that was once limited to the local NVR and workstations can now be shared with an unlimited number of users simultaneously. Video sent to the BluBØX Cloud can be from live or recorded video, video events or video associated with analytics, access, alarm, visitor, intercom or operator events.

BluSKY can run within the local video interface or on any device with a browser and internet connection. Whether you are on-site or on the go you can be notified and respond instantly with all the information you need to be delivered right to your fingertips. Add AI through BluSKY Analytics and BluSKY Intelligence to create a smart system that proactively monitors and automatically adjusts system configuration and notifies the proper people when a security risk emerges.

BluSKY also makes installing and supporting any video system a breeze because all cameras are configured in the Cloud. Every camera, from every system deployed, can be seen from anywhere on any device. Combined this with BluSKY Video Diagnostics and BluSKY VPN, and you can remotely support all systems without having to roll a truck.

BluSKY integrates with any SIP-based door station such as The Person Reader, AXIS Door Station and 2N. BluSKY's virtual master station allows any device to receive a call with audio and video from any connected door station and release a door or gate remotely. BluSKY intercom functionality seamlessly integrates with all parts of the BluSKY system. The BluSKY intercom combined with The Person Reader is an ideal solution for multi-family projects where guests can make a call and the tenant can speak to them, see them, and release the entry point. 

Reporting, Compliance and Audits

One of the key requirements in the Financial vertical is the ability to demonstrate compliance. BluSKY makes it easy to do this with flexible and automated reporting that can be sent to any distribution list on any schedule. Additionally, custom reports can be created through BluCARE Professional Services and made available through the BluSKY interface. Audits are also made easier through BluSKY distributed administration where multiple people can audit portions of the physical security system at any time. The BluSKY Web-Cloud interface lets you audit from anywhere and provides complete system documentation and access to the portion of the system a person has been given permissions.

Life Safety and Emergency Response

System Health and Power Management

Remote power monitoring and management with intelligence watches, notifies and reacts to all power-related conditions. Get notified by email, text or while online when one of the power solutions is running hot, the access control won’t engage, or the security solution might somehow be compromised should a real emergency occur. Remotely access from anywhere, assess the system health, and even reboot or reset necessary components. If on-site service is necessary, it can be scheduled with the proper parts and accessories, so ideally the visit is accomplished during a single call.  Power_Management_LP1502.jpg
