Safer Together – Senstar Symphony Integrates HALO IoT Smart Sensors

End users can incorporate HALO’s privacy security features, vaping, THC, and air quality health alerts with the Senstar Symphony™ Common Operating Platform.

Senstar, a world leader in video management, video analytics, and perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS), and New Platinum ‘ASTORS’ Award Winner for Best IP Video Surveillance Solution in the AST 2021 Homeland Security Awards Program, is integrating the Senstar Symphony™ Common Operating Platform with the HALO IoT Smart Sensor from IPVideo Corporation.

The HALO IoT Smart Sensor, which took home the Platinum Award in the 2021 ‘ASTORS’ Awards Program for Best Sound & Chemical Incident Detection and the Gold Award for Best Back to Work Monitoring Solution, has garnered widespread industry attention and accolades for its innovative detection technology, quickly became the #1 Vape Detector worldwide helping tackle the epidemic of youth vaping.

Success in additional markets has expanded with air quality detection, audio analytics, as well as chemical and environmental monitoring.

With its all-new health index, HALO is now helping combat the spread of airborne diseases providing occupants immediate alerts to dangerous conditions.

HALO can be deployed in areas previously off-limits to surveillance or other detection because of privacy concerns, such as restrooms, locker rooms, in addition to hotel and patient rooms, expanding the possibility for security detection and protection.

The integration allows HALO users to monitor alerts and notify personnel of out-of-normal ranges or levels of vaping, sounds and gunshot, chemicals, air quality, plus health, within the Senstar Symphony Common Operating Platform.

“Our customers benefit from strategic technology partnerships like we have with Senstar and all the possibilities it brings for client safety,” explains Jack Plunkett, Chief Technology Officer, IPVideo Corporation.

“Be it vaping prevention, security or identifying healthy spaces for occupants, this integration is a value proposition that allows Senstar clients to provide security for privacy areas across markets.”

The Senstar Symphony™ Common Operating Platform with sensor fusion is a modular solution for security management and data intelligence.

In addition to being an open, highly scalable video management system with built-in video analytics, it includes full-featured access control and perimeter intrusion detection modules.

But what truly sets Senstar Symphony apart from other systems is its sensor fusion engine.

By intelligently combining low-level sensor data with video analytics, the Senstar sensor fusion engine achieves the highest levels of performance, far beyond that of the individual devices.
