Dealers and integrators can offer a complete suite of security services to residential
and commercial customers through a new partnership between Connected
Technologies, LLC, Crystal Lake, Ill., and Bosch Security Systems,
Inc. Connect ONE® the flagship security management platform from Connected
Technologies now integrates seamlessly with the B Series and new G
Series security control panels from Bosch.
Connect ONE lets users control and manage solutions that include security,
access control, video, energy management, and more from an intuitive interface
that is accessible from a PC, laptop, smartphone or tablet. Through Connect
ONE, users with B Series or new G Series Control Panels can check status,
arm or disarm systems, view live video or snapshots from Bosch IP cameras
integrated with the panels, and lock, unlock or secure doors within G Series
systems that include access control. They can also add, remove and
change passcodes and access credentials using the Connect ONE interface.
Dealers have the flexibility to select the most appropriate level of service for
their business and their customer. They can fully administer the solution for
their customer, have the customer manage it, or provide a blended service offering.
“With the integration, Bosch dealers now have interactive services supported
by the cloud that allow them to expand their customer base through additional
market verticals and grow their recurring monthly revenue,” says Mike Simon,
a former dealer and managing partner, Connected Technologies. “We’re excited
about this partnership and will work closely with Bosch to continue to
make the offering more robust and conducive to dealers who want to grow
their profitability by providing additional, valuable interactive services to their
customers.”
“Through the integration with Connect ONE, we’re able to offer dealers and
end users even greater flexibility for interacting with and controlling their
Bosch systems – whether they prefer a laptop, tablet or smartphone,” says
Tom Mechler, applications design manager, Bosch Security Systems, Inc.
“This enhances the user experience and allows our dealers to increase their
competitive edge by providing greater value to their customers.”
The Connect ONE dealer portal allows dealers to view and control all their
customer’s devices and locations on one screen, which can help eliminate the
need to roll trucks for site visits and reduce support costs. There is no software
to manage and no user licensing fees required.
