Integrated Alarm Management

Unified alarm awareness for faster, safer response
The Integrated Alarm Management add‑on connects security and building automation alarms, helping facility and security teams respond faster and enabling HVAC systems to react automatically during critical events.

Integrated Alarm Management

The ADD‑OG‑IAM Integrated Alarm Management add‑on strengthens coordination between the i‑Vu® Building Automation System and an OnGuard® security system by enabling shared alarm visibility and intelligent system response.

By synchronizing alarm information across systems, facility operators and security personnel gain a common operational view of critical events. This shared awareness improves response time, reduces missed alerts, and enables automated HVAC actions—such as increased ventilation—when predefined security or safety conditions occur.

Integrated Alarm Management

Shared Alarm Visibility Across Teams

Alarms from both i‑Vu and OnGuard are visible to facility and security teams, ensuring that critical events are seen and addressed regardless of who is monitoring the system.

Faster, Coordinated Response

By removing information silos, the add‑on helps ensure that the right personnel respond quickly and appropriately to priority alarms.

HVAC Actions Triggered by Critical Events

Selected alarms can automatically initiate HVAC responses, such as increased ventilation or system mode changes, supporting occupant safety and comfort during urgent situations.

Improved Situational Awareness

Operators gain clearer insight into how security and building systems are behaving during an event, enabling more informed decisions.

Native i‑Vu BAS Add‑On

Operates within the i‑Vu Building Automation System as a licensed add‑on.

OnGuard® System Integration

Exchanges alarm information securely between building automation and security systems.

Requires Data Connector

Uses the ADD‑OG‑DIP Data Connector as the foundational communication layer.

Compatible with Current i‑Vu Platforms

Designed to work with i‑Vu Pro, the Building Integration Platform, and supported OnGuard versions.
