Virtual Arm / Disarm

Reduce false alarms and save your organization time and money by virtually arming or disarming a location from wherever you are. The OWS alerting engine uses the armed stated of locations to filter alerts and ensure you only get notified when it matters most to your business.

NOTE: Virtual Arm / Disarm is available as a closed beta. Please reach out to your OpenEye sales representative for more details.

Enable Integrations and Alerts

To arm / disarm alarm panels in Locations, first:

  1. Enable an Access Control or Intrusion Integration in OWS.
  2. Create an Access Control or Intrusion Alert Rule in OWS.

NOTE: When enabling an integration, add at least one panel in the Device / Camera Mapping tab. 

Navigate to Locations

The arm / disarm state of alarm panels can be set under Management > Locations > Locations.
