It seamlessly integrates artificial intelligence, a data lake, identity management, access control, alarm and intrusion management, visitor and vendor management, elevator management, biometrics, intercom, wireless locks, life safety management, power management, and system health. This integration ensures that all security components work together harmoniously, providing a safe and efficient environment for tenants.
3. Single Pane of Glass - Unified Dashboard
The unified dashboard, or single pane of glass, simplifies the management of security systems. This comprehensive view allows property managers to monitor real-time events, playback timelines, and customize dashboards to suit their needs. The everything-everywhere-all-at-once UI includes universal device control, making it easy to manage all aspects of building security from one interface.
4. AI at Its Core
BluSKY leverages advanced artificial intelligence to enhance security operations. The LLM/VLM AI model uses a private data lake to process large volumes of information, enabling natural language interaction through the Building Oracle. This AI-based system offers deep monitoring, automated responses, and decision support, simplifying the maintenance of security and efficiency. The comprehensive data inclusion and analysis capabilities ensure that property managers have access to all relevant information for informed decision-making.
5. Comprehensive Reporting and Analytics
BluSKY provides robust reporting and analytics capabilities. The system supports DIY tenant custom reports, automated reporting, and access audits, ensuring compliance and security. In-depth visual analysis, tenant space usage analytics, and year-over-year analysis help property managers identify patterns, trends, correlations, anomalies, and summaries, optimizing the use of space and resources.
6. Streamlined DIY Tenant Administration
BluSKY empowers tenants to manage their own security settings, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing the administrative burden on property managers. Tenants appreciate the control and accuracy they have over their security data, which is shared between the base building and individual tenants. Integration with SCIM, SSO, API, and SIEM systems further streamlines this process, making it easier for multi-site and multi-tenant buildings to maintain cohesive security standards.
7. Unmatched Visitor and Vendor Management
Managing visitors and vendors is seamless with BluSKY. The system supports preauthorization and self-administration, ensuring fast, secure visitor management. Credential flexibility, including QR codes, MiFARE, Prox, Bluetooth, and digital wallets, caters to all visitor and vendor needs. Automated notifications, integrated watchlist checks, and COI management streamline the process, reducing the workload for property managers and enhancing the visitor experience.
8. Advanced Credential Management and Tenant Credential Compatibility
BluSKY supports a single credential platform solution, AnyID, and an advanced card format that reads every type of card in a multi-tenant building. This system supports over 30 commonly used credential formats and integrates with leading brands like HID, Apple, and Google Wallet. Multi-factor identification ensures robust security while providing tenants with a convenient access experience.
9. Game-Changing Person Readers and Intelligent Doors
Person readers and intelligent doors are key innovations in BluSKY’s security offerings. These devices use any credential, provide proof of presence, and allow for enrollment on the fly. Automated photo ID and touchless security enhance convenience and safety. Integration with destination dispatch elevator access control and automated floor assignments at turnstiles and elevator banks streamline the flow of people throughout the building.
10. Intercom Communication from Anywhere
BluSKY’s intercom system ensures seamless communication and remote access control through a virtual PBX. SIP-based integration provides clear and reliable audio and video communication, enhancing the security and efficiency of building access management.
11. Life Safety Management, Mustering, and Mass Notification
In emergencies, BluSKY’s life safety management system provides critical functionalities such as emergency notifications, mustering, and mass notification. This system ensures that tenants and staff are informed and can respond quickly, enhancing overall safety.
12. Better Support and Faster "Time to Fix"
