Sensors: Beyond Traditional Alarm Monitoring

Traditional alarm systems tell you when something crosses a line. Y6OS Sensors tell you what’s actually happening. A conventional alarm panel typically reports a simple condition—normal, alarm, or trouble. An operator might receive “Zone 7 Alarm,” but that event provides little context about what caused it or how the condition is changing. Y6OS Sensors go further by providing the actual measured value and the historical data behind it.

    • Go beyond (Traditional alarming): Zone 7 Alarm
    • Know what’s actually happening (Sensors in Y6OS): 47°F — up 9°F in 40 minutes

Know the value. See the trend. Understand the direction. Then use video and other connected devices in Y6OS to see what was happening when the event occurred. It’s more than knowing a threshold was crossed. It’s having the context to understand what’s happening and make a more informed response.

Sensor Monitoring Across Your Business

From temperature and humidity to pressure, power, fluid levels, and air quality, Y6OS Sensors can extend monitoring beyond traditional security events and provide greater visibility into the conditions that impact operations.
