REACT Enterprise System To Integrate With AMAG Technology’s Symmetry Security Management System

  • Feb 18, 2009

AMAG Technology has formed a strategic partnership with REACT Systems Inc., a provider of critical response notification systems that unify critical communications in emergencies and time-sensitive situations. The REACT system can reach thousands of users within seconds, delivering targeted and verifiable audio/video notifications to first responders and the public.

The REACT Enterprise system will integrate with AMAG Technology’s Symmetry Security Management System to provide a single solution that delivers an immediate notification of an alert. REACT sends instant alerts when alarms occur within the Symmetry System. The end user determines alarm parameters and configures REACT to deliver instant alerts based on specified commands and/or alarms within the Symmetry SMS.

When an alarm occurs within Symmetry, REACT can alert the designated audience using multiple channels for mass notification via desktops, public displays, phones, cell phones, text messaging and email. A video camera can capture an event, signal an alarm and an alert is immediately distributed. Within seconds the designated audience is aware of the critical event. Those seconds can save lives.

“Integrating REACT with Symmetry provides our customers with an integrated connection that is time sensitive,” said AMAG Technology Vice President of Sales and Marketing Matt Barnette. “The instant alerts are communicated through controlled delivery mechanisms, providing our customers with flexibility and instant notification.”

“AMAG’s Symmetry brings a strong means of managing security and provides REACT the ability to automate notification on a broad variety of security and life safety events,” said Jeremy Krinitt, vice president of product marketing at REACT Systems. “The integration with Symmetry provides a valuable tool to organizations looking to improve their effectiveness in response to critical events.”

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
