acre Access Control

NOTE: acre Access Control Classic (aAC Classic) was previously Feenics / Keep by Feenics.

acre is a native cloud-based provider of enterprise access control as a service (ACaaS) solutions. acre Access Control Classic (Formerly referred to as Keep by Feenics), scales from single door to global enterprise environments. It includes a RESTful API for easy to create third-party integrations, native visitor management, two-factor authentication for increased security and a powerful mobile app that allows for security management on the go. aAC Classic is hardware agnostic, supporting a number of leading manufacturers including Mercury Security, HID, and Allegion.

OpenEye Web Services (OWS) Cloud Integration to acre Access Control Classic

OWS establishes a cloud-to-cloud link to the aAC Classic platform and captures access events to be processed by the OWS Alerts Engine as well as its device list so access control devices can be associated with cameras in the OpenEye system. The integration with OWS takes access events from acre and transmits them to the OWS Alerts engine to leverage push alerts, email notifications, and searchable event history, all linked to video from OpenEye systems for video verification.

This cloud-to-cloud integration links OWS with acre to enable users to retrieve video through the OWS cloud API and to view video natively in the acre Access Control platform.

NOTE:  This integration is only available with certain licensing tiers. See OWS Licensing for more information.
