A new standard in security system set/unset

Finally, a CCTV monitoring arm/disarm solution that’s fit for purpose.

At Inniovate, we don’t believe in just one way to set or unset. Every site is different, so we built Knowio for all methods to coexist — an array of technology and smart rules that combine access control with security system control. Purpose-built for CCTV monitoring, controlled from the app.

Control

Easily add & remove people from gate access in-app, in seconds. Restrict certain user levels to certain actions to give a protocol in line with your needs.

Flexibility

Rather than have one single way to set & Unset the site, Knowio allows all methods to co-exist, meaning total flexibility as per the site management’s needs.

Knowledge

Real time notifications and easily accessible logs give complete transparency as to who is disarming the system and who has done so.

Multiple user levels

3 user levels means users have rights in line with their stance in your organisation

Local disarming only

Ensure that the site is being disarmed only when people are at the property, with a disarm via Bluetooth only option.

Restricted Zones

Create zones that are only accessible to management

Temporary access

Generate a Timed Passcode with a requirement to log who it is for

Smart reminders

Easily set up reminders, getting notifications if the system is not in the right status at any given time.

Zoned arming

Divide large sites into zones, ensuring that empty areas stay protected

Padlock arm/disarm

Opening the gate via the padlock in the morning will disarm the site and closing the site will arm it.

Holiday Mode

Apply a holiday mode for sites on schedules to ensure they armed on one-off events like bank holidays.

Configure schedules

Rather than changing schedules on the device itself, which can take ages, change it in seconds on the app.

We needed a scalable, easy to manage access solution for our car parks and stock yards, where the authorised visitor list changes regularly. Knowio is a Godsend from an efficiency perspective.

An open gate is an open invite to criminals. Now we have real-time visibility on lots of critical gates that we previously could only know were closed by doing costly physical checks.

Mick Power

End user behaviour has shifted dramatically since I migrated to Knowio. All users are aware of the complete traceability. Incidents of the gate being left open has now fallen to practically zero.
