When an alarm is triggered, the Permaconn Video Verification service will capture a short video clip or image from the camera nearest the violated alarm zone and deliver it directly to the operator’s automation software screen. The operator clicks on the link in the automation software to immediately view the related video clip. This clip is stored in the Permaconn cloud and can be immediately retrieved at any time during the next 30 days. After 30-days, the Permaconn service will automatically archive the video for five years to meet the necessary record-keeping regulations.

Where to Buy
Set Up Tips For Irisity
Activate unit through Atlas and select video service option and pick the data plan
In the options, select “Video Config”
Select “Add Device” to set up system
Options will vary based on NVR/VMS Cameras. Select either a static image or a video clip to be sent to Alarm Watch. If sending a video clip then select the duration of the clip to be sent. Click save to complete.
Next you will need to setup your video verification rules, click on add rule
The video verification system provides two options to trigger a capture:
1. Alarm panel event:
The system will perform a capture when the alarm panel sends an event. You pair your cameras to capture from zone or partitions
2. PM54 Input:
The system can also be configured to perform a capture if a change on the input is detected on the pm54.
To prevent the system from taking excessive captures, and thus exhausting the data plan, the rule can be configured to stop capturing after a number of clips and only resume once the alarm panel stops transmitting. The backoff time after which the system will start acting on events again can be configured.
