Mobile Badge & Verification Scan with ScanPass®

Another exciting value add feature is now available!

Mobile Badge:

A user's badge consists of the following:

Logo (Dealer's Logo is default or Customer's Logo may be uploaded)
Name
Picture
Custom Fields 1-4
Barcode for Verification Scanning
Green Border for Active, Red Border for Inactive

The mobile badge in the Connect ONE App can be used in-place of a physical badge
It is accessible in the Connect ONE App 1) from the login screen (if remember me was checked), 2) from the Account window, and 3) from the ScanPass screen.
A guard or other personnel with administrative permissions can scan the barcode on the user's badge with their Connect ONE/ScanPass App for verification of the user's identity and permissions. It will also display the user's past activity for quick review.

Visitor Badge:

Another great use of the badge is for visitors. The badge can be printed on a sticker and scanned by personnel with their Connect ONE/ScanPass App for verification upon request or leaving the facility.

Door Control Improvements

We've recently improved the Door Control permission controls within the Doors & Outputs screen of Connect ONE. Now you have control to split the permissions of a momentary open action and the lock/unlock actions. This is helpful when you only want to give permissions for Open only and hide the lock/unlock buttons. Permissions are easily controlled via the System Profile for the user. If the user has only door access permissions then they will only be shown the Open button, however, if they also have the lock/unlock permission set in their profile they will also be able to select lock and unlock.

Video Improvements

We've recently improved live video viewing from the Connect ONE interfaces. Now when viewing a camera the associated task (assigned to the same area as the camera) will be shown for easy activation without having to close the camera view. Tasks can be used for many custom purposes and may consist of multiple commands. One example could be to momentarily unlock a door for someone they see at the door.

See What Others Are Saying...

"Thank you for listening and making the feature available so quickly! I really enjoy working with Connected Technologies."
--Dan Osborne
Project Manager at Schmidt Security Pro

"Flexibility is all part of the beauty of using a cloud-based management platform. My customers can manage it themselves from their smartphone app if they like. They can set their own schedules and we configure the Connect ONE GUI. If there’s an emergency or other response required, the superintendent or management can use their smart device for access. It’s all part of the Connect ONE app, which we use for many office and multitenant buildings."
--Gary Davis
Principal and Owner of Alarm Specialists

"Initially, we toyed with the idea of developing our own cloud-based system, but we sent a technician to look ‘behind the curtains’ at the Connected Technologies solution and I was excited about the possibilities for my customers, especially the many school districts we serve."
--Michael Martin
President of Martin Systems

"We rely on Connected Technologies for technical and customer support. We have requested software and feature upgrades for our customers and if it’s possible it happens within 24 hours. We use Connect ONE in our own business and the reporting features are outstanding."

"Because we serve national accounts across the country, when they acquire other locations or add facilities we can bring them online quickly without having to completely replace the infrastructure or conduct extensive programming."

"We have been deploying and migrating customers from site-based client servers to the cloud with very positive feedback. One of our customers, a senior housing facility, likes to have one platform to manage both access control and integrated alarm detection. We can administer different levels of access permissions through the cloud for the customer or they can do it on their own. Having an integrated system--access control, security, CCTV and temperature monitoring and control is important."
--Toby Stevens
Sales Manager for Ace American Alarm Company

--Matt VanEffen
Principal of Holy Cross Catholic School
