Open Door Command is a cloud-to-cloud integration with approved third-party access control systems that enables users to trigger door and gate unlocks directly from the live video player, visually confirm who is at a door before granting access, and reduce the need to switch between separate systems. By keeping video surveillance and door access in one streamlined workflow, OWS helps teams move faster and manage daily operations with greater confidence.

Streamlined workflow for cloud video surveillance and access control

Open Door Command simplifies daily operations by bringing video surveillance and door access into one workflow, beneficial for security operators who need to grant access without leaving their video view, facilities managers overseeing multiple locations, or staff managing visitors, deliveries, and after-hours access requests. Teams can visually confirm who is at the door, respond faster, and reduce the need to move between separate systems.

Open Door Command offers numerous benefits including the following:

• Faster access control: Users can trigger door and gate unlocks directly from the live video player.
• Greater situational awareness: Teams can visually confirm individuals before granting access.
• Simplified workflows: Video and door access can be managed from a single platform.
• Map-based door control: Doors can also be opened directly from an interactive map view in the OWS Cloud Web Client.

Improve access control efficiency

Open Door Command helps teams manage access more efficiently by keeping door control connected to live video in OWS. Whether monitoring one location or many, Open Door Command supports faster response times, fewer system switches, and greater confidence when granting access.
