OpenEye Announces Powerful Active Deterrence Solutions

With active deterrence solutions in place, businesses can trust that their locations are secured around the clock with advanced, intelligent surveillance. 

OpenEye recently announced their new active deterrence solutions are available on supported OpenEye cameras through OpenEye Web Services (OWS).

OpenEye cameras equipped with white light LEDs can automatically activate in response to configured alerts, drawing attention to suspicious activity as it occurs to help deescalate critical incidents and reduce the number of overall threats.

The latest cameras discourage suspicious or unwanted behavior with automatic white light activation triggered by alert conditions in OWS, including motion detection or other analytic events, as well as sensor-based events. When used in conjunction with multi-region alerts, active deterrence serves as the first line of defense, creating a layered security approach that ensures events are only escalated when necessary. By visually deterring threats before they cross onto your property, it helps reduce false alarms and limits notifications to monitoring personnel only when issues persist, minimizing unnecessary calls to central stations or law enforcement and improving overall response accuracy.

By pairing active deterrence solutions with other features in OWS, such as Location Arming, businesses can design a security system that works for them with minimal intervention needed. Location Arming will ensure active deterrence is only triggered when the location is armed, helping strengthen safety while avoiding disruptions during normal business operations.

Two-way audio supported cameras provide an additional deterrence solution, enabling team members or professional security staff to listen and talk down to individuals seen on camera remotely. Two-way audio allows immediate response to push alerts, which can be used to provide audible deterrence to would-be vandals.

Active deterrent cameras enhance visibility and awareness in monitored areas by drawing attention to activity as it occurs, reducing the risk of after-hours incidents, trespassing, or vandalism through visible, proactive response while reducing costs associated with false alarms.
