Case Study
Manufacturer's
Cloud Security

With the pandemic
an ongoing
consideration for
the safety of its
workers, Dynamic
Manufacturing
requested
ISSI's solution
incorporate
a screening
technology for
people entering
its facility.

ISSI set up specific programming rules for each
zone and cameras covering the premises through
the Connect ONE Cloud. The use of video verification has helped Dynamic Manufacturing
quickly assess alarms and ascertain if the alert is
an actual issue requiring immediate response or
a false alarm caused by rodents or small animals
triggering building motion detectors.
" It's nice to be able to see what the exact issue is. I've also set up daily reports and history
recordkeeping that allow us to better manage
the system, " Szulczewski says, adding that he
can arm, disarm and handle comprehensive
system management remotely. Currently, he
is working on converting users to HID photo
identification card access, including warehouse
workers who typically didn't have card access.
Once complete, there will be approximately 800 cards spread across the eight locations.
Connect ONE offers the ability to " batch "
or populate credentials easily from the interface instead of at each alarm control located
throughout the facility.

Claps for the Cloud
With Connect ONE, Dynamic Manufacturing
can easily expand security at its facility and add
other services as necessary.

" I use the Connect ONE app on my iPhone often, " adds Szulczewski. " It really simplifies managing all the alerts and statuses of
the buildings. Each night I'm able to quickly
check if buildings are armed as they should be
and also get alerts when a building is not armed
according to rules I've set. I can also see if there
are any exceptions such as zones in trouble on
one screen in the interface. Connected Technologies also set up a feature that allows us to
monitor certain doors to get alerts if they are
open too long. This is great as we had an incident last winter where an overhead door was
left open on a particularly frigid day. "
Szulczewski says the system allows him to
automatically populate and batch access permissions for all users across all its 10 installed
access panels. With this feature he can pick the
access template and those parameters for the
user are automatically sent to each panel to establish the appropriate access permissions.
" The biggest thing is the ability to take multiple locations, buildings and systems and bring
them all together to manage from one interface. Alerts come directly to me and I can open
the app on my phone to make sure the system
is operational - with Connect ONE I see everything in one place. " SSI

With nearly one million square
feet of floor space covering
eight suburban Chicago-area
locations, the end user needed
a simple, comprehensive and
intuitive way to manage security, access control and video.
