Result

We developed a software product that integrates all security systems in the building, allowing the operator to manage systems from one unified intuitive interface. The ability to configure automatic incident detection, based on rules and types of events, allows the identification of most incidents without direct operator involvement. All security systems are combined into a single user interface that provides the operator with invaluable support during the incident handling phase.
The system is designed for scalability. The system was commissioned on site with more than 4000 end devices on 6 systems. Aura successfully passed the test. Under a load of more than 15 Handling millions of events per day, unifying the monitoring and management interface for all systems successfully.
