Alarm verification has been mandated by many law enforcement agencies, and UCNE makes it affordable for all end users—while empowering systems integrators, alarm dealers and central stations to earn additional recurring monthly revenue (RMR) through value-added services. A business or residence with an analogue four-channel DVR can transition to UCNE at an economic cost, with video verification capability included. According to the company, similar IP-enabling systems are typically more price sensitive for the same feature and take much longer to implement. The lower costs enabled through UCNE will also simplify the customer acquisition process for alarm dealers.

“Adding video verification to UCNE will help central stations eliminate false alarms, and influence an immediate response from law enforcement agencies based on evidence of an intrusion, crime or other security-related event,” said Sri L. Palasamudram, chief executive officer (CEO), Mobideos. “As a result, remote monitoring staff is better empowered to act on behalf of their end customers across businesses, residences and public spaces.”

Mr. Palasamudram added that UCNE customers can decrease long-term cost of ownership whether they leverage existing analogue infrastructure or add inexpensive new analogue cameras to support video verification. As UCNE seamlessly integrates with existing or new analogue camera equipment from multiple remote and enterprise sites on the network, this eliminates the need to purchase and install new IP cameras to support video verification.

The Mobideos UCNE previously confirmed integration with Immix central station software of Sureview Systems, and is working with other central station software companies. Integration with Mobideos UCNE is engineered to be simple, requiring only a single line API.
