Dealers and integrators can offer a complete suite of security services to residential

and commercial customers through a new partnership between Connected

Technologies, LLC, Crystal Lake, Ill., and Bosch Security Systems,

Inc. Connect ONE® the flagship security management platform from Connected

Technologies now integrates seamlessly with the B Series and new G

Series security control panels from Bosch.

 

Connect ONE lets users control and manage solutions that include security,

access control, video, energy management, and more from an intuitive interface

that is accessible from a PC, laptop, smartphone or tablet. Through Connect

ONE, users with B Series or new G Series Control Panels can check status,

arm or disarm systems, view live video or snapshots from Bosch IP cameras

integrated with the panels, and lock, unlock or secure doors within G Series

systems that include access control. They can also add, remove and

change passcodes and access credentials using the Connect ONE interface.

 

Dealers have the flexibility to select the most appropriate level of service for

their business and their customer. They can fully administer the solution for

their customer, have the customer manage it, or provide a blended service offering.

 

“With the integration, Bosch dealers now have interactive services supported

by the cloud that allow them to expand their customer base through additional

market verticals and grow their recurring monthly revenue,” says Mike Simon,

a former dealer and managing partner, Connected Technologies. “We’re excited

about this partnership and will work closely with Bosch to continue to

make the offering more robust and conducive to dealers who want to grow

their profitability by providing additional, valuable interactive services to their

customers.”

 

“Through the integration with Connect ONE, we’re able to offer dealers and

end users even greater flexibility for interacting with and controlling their

Bosch systems – whether they prefer a laptop, tablet or smartphone,” says

Tom Mechler, applications design manager, Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

“This enhances the user experience and allows our dealers to increase their

competitive edge by providing greater value to their customers.”

 

The Connect ONE dealer portal allows dealers to view and control all their

customer’s devices and locations on one screen, which can help eliminate the

need to roll trucks for site visits and reduce support costs. There is no software

to manage and no user licensing fees required.
