Overview

BluSKY™ Video brings any local video system to the Cloud and allows users to see their video from anywhere, on any device just using a browser. BluSKY Video displays live or recorded video, video events, or video associated with analytics, access, alarm, intrusion, visitor, vendor, intercom, or operator events. Current VMS integrations include Avigilon, Exacq, Milestone, and Salient. BluSKY also unifies your video across Access, Alarms, Intrusion, Visitor, Vendor, Intercom, and Biometric applications to create a security platform that addresses all core security functions in one system. BluSKY provides the best of both worlds with the combination of on-premise recording and Cloud redundancy, accessibility, and unification. Video that was once limited to the local NVR and workstations can now be shared with an unlimited number of users simultaneously.

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

Live and Recorded Video from Anywhere

BluSKY lets you stream live and recorded video from any device, anywhere, anytime using just your browser. This means you can respond to incidents immediately no matter where you are or what device you have, and groups of people can look at the same incident from anywhere and collaborate using real-time and historical data. BluSKY video provides a deeper understanding of the operation and security of any facility. The simplicity of the interface and ease of access to information provides more eyes on a facility and extends the benefit of video to beyond just security and provides a larger return on investment.

Architecture - How it Works

  • Customer sites are configured in BluSKY – NVRs, cameras, people, permissions, etc.
  • NVRs are installed onsite and connected to the network and Internet – BluSKY Video also installed on NVR
  • NVRs call out to BluSKY and establish persistent bi-directional communication
  • No open inbound ports, VPNs, or applications, and everything works on-network and off-network
  • If on-network, the video is locally streamed. If off-network, video is streamed to the Cloud and then to the user's device
  • The user interface is through any web browser from anywhere – also have a BluSKY mobile app but it is not required
  • All events are instantly sent to BluSKY, processed, and sent out to anyone that is “listening”
  • All administration and control requests are sent to BluSKY and then sent down to the respective NVRs to be processed and executed
  • Everything happens in real-time (< 1 sec) no matter where you are
