Ava and Feenics partner to offer a modern physical security solution

Ava Security, a unified service provider of cybersecurity and video security, has teamed up with Feenics, a provider of forward-thinking Access Control-as-a-Service (ACaaS) solutions, to offer security professionals and integrators a modern, integrated security solution.

The Ava Aware Cloud™, intelligent video management system (VMS) is available as part of the Keep by Feenics™ cloud-based access control platform, providing the simplicity, security, and power needed for proactive physical security. 

Cloud security

More security professionals are moving to cloud security for a better experience, with better outcomes. By enabling the 24/7 visual capture of access control events as they happen, Ava Security’s powerful AI analytics gives security professionals what they need to act: usable, precise data, delivered in real-time, whether from a video security stream, reader, or door sensor.

This just isn’t possible with either video security or access control alone. 

Real-time credentials

Fast forensic searches allow video security teams to find things faster and reduce the burden of manually reviewing footage

For instance, if a door is propped open or credential authorisation fails, the Aware Map view pops up, showing the name of the badge holder, the image on the credential, and the exact location in real time. This is entirely different from today’s simple alert.

Plus, after an incident, fast forensic searches allow video security teams to find things faster and reduce the burden of manually reviewing massive amounts of footage. 

Features

Feenics and Ava hold a shared vision that security technology should be open, secure, simple to deploy and scale, and remotely accessible.

• Open: Organisations can keep the access control or video security hardware they’ve already invested in. Even existing cameras are accessible through the cloud to provide ubiquitous video coverage, which is needed for real-time proactive security. Plus, security professionals own the choice to mix and match the best technologies to suit their security and risk profile.
• Secure: Both companies have placed the utmost priority on security given the risks of operating in a connected world. Whether at rest or in transit, Ava’s video surveillance solution is cyber-hardened with always-on end-to-end encryption and factory-installed certificates. It also provides audit trails of both operator and administrator actions, which are automatically recorded to address the full spectrum of compliance requirements. Ava is ISO-certified. Keep by Feenics' data is also encrypted in transit and at rest, and the company is both ISO 9001-2015 certified and is an AWS certified-cloud practice.

• Simple-to-scale: The solution is simple to deploy, manage and scale in the cloud, whether for a single-door or multi-site enterprise.
• Mobile: Security operators can get real-time alerts on any device, on any browser, from anywhere. Additionally, the Keep byFeenics access control system easily integrates with mobile credentials to provide a touchless entry experience.

Physical security solutions

We’ve made it simpler to proactively secure buildings, doors, and assets, and protect people"

"Modern, cloud-based security has arrived. Ava Security is the perfect partner for us to help organisations extend the value and power of their access control systems."

"Together, we’ve made it simpler to proactively secure buildings, doors, assets, and protect people," said Brian Matthews, Director of Sales at Feenics.

Video security

"Our partnership with Feenics alters the experience for security professionals and equips them to get far more from their security operations. With video security as the ‘eyes’ of the Feenics’ access control system, organisations can easily connect the dots between a security event and the ‘who’ and ‘where’."

"The result is the ability to respond quickly–even to physical security scenarios that were previously un-addressable with access control or video security alone," said George Martinez, Director of Sales Engineering at Ava Security.
