Evolv also provides a purchase-subscription model that our sales team can discuss with you to ensure we meet your needs.
About Evolv Express Integrations
Q: Does Evolv offer integrations with other security technologies?
Yes. Evolv Express offers robust integrations with popular VMS (Video Management System) and Mass Notification technologies. These integrations help coordinate and accelerate threat response across the extended security ecosystem, connecting personnel and the technologies they rely on with vital information about identified weapons threats found at venue ingress.
Q: What information can be shared with the technologies that integrate with Evolv Express?
With the consent of a customer administrator, Evolv Express can share alert images, along with the time, date, location, and type of weapon found whenever a threat item is confirmed at the system by the Express operator.
In addition, any “Request Assistance” notifications made by an Evolv Express operator can appear as an alert in the integrated security technology, including any typed message describing the help required at the system.
Q: How does an Evolv Express operator confirm there is a weapons threat in order to automatically notify an integrated technology?
When the operator tags the threat localization image on the tablet to identify the type of weapon, the associated threat localization image, along with the threat type, time, date, and location are all sent to the integrated technology within a matter of seconds.
Q: What can integrated security technologies do with the threat information provided by Evolv Express?
Evolv Express alerts work just like any other alert information received by the integrated technology. Depending on the technology you have chosen to integrate with the Evolv Express, the integrated technology can be configured to automatically trigger downstream workflows and actions with that information.
Q: Where are alert images stored and for how long?
Integrations between Evolv Express and other technologies are managed by secure connections to the AWS cloud. Consent must be given by the customer administrator to accept that images will be sent to and stored on the cloud for the default time period, 7 days, after which time they are automatically deleted. Alert images are only sent to and stored on the cloud if the customer administrator provides affirmative consent. If they do not consent to it, alert images are not sent to the cloud.
Q: Can this solution be integrated into our SOC?
Yes, creating an environment where visitors feel safe – and actually are – is a top priority. Often added security means more manpower, but not with Evolv Express. With Evolv Express, you can integrate available security cameras directly into your security operations center (SOC), video management system (VMS), or other AI video analytics systems.
