OpenEye and Connected Technologies Forge New Technology Partnership

Seamless integration is now possible between OpenEye Web Services NVR and Connect ONE® cloud platform.

The OpenEye NVR and Connect ONE can be integrated via the OpenEye OWS Cloud. The cloud integration between OpenEye's Cloud and Connect ONE’s cloud service eliminates the need to connect to an IP address or to open an inbound port on the end user’s network firewall. Once connected, users can retrieve a camera list for quick and easy configuration, view live video, record snapshots upon an event from the Intrusion/Access System for video verification or review a 10-second Pre-Event and up to 45-second Post-Event video clip.

2-Factor Authentication Added to Customer Site

We're happy to announce 2-factor authentication which has been available on the Connect ONE Dealer Site has now also been added to the Connect ONE Customer Site in accordance with our commitment to ensuring data security.

Your customer can enable 2-factor authentication for any user. They may also require 2-factor authentication for users which is specified within their login profile.

When enabled the user must enter a 6-digit authentication code after providing their username and password. The 6-digit code is generated via an App such as the Google Authenticator App and is valid for only 30 seconds.
