Total Situational Awareness for Event-Driven Workflows
Security teams need more than alerts—they need context. Knowing something happened helps, but knowing what, where, and what to do next is powerful.
Last year, YourSix added Peripherals to YourSixOS. The year before, we launched Access Control. Together, peripherals and barriers like doors expand security operations by providing more real-world, evidentiary data in a single platform.
Now, with the introduction of Adjacency Groups, that data becomes meaningfully connected.
What Are Adjacency Groups?
Adjacency Groups allow security teams to define which devices—peripherals, speakers, barriers, and cameras—are physically close to one another. By understanding proximity, YourSixOS can intelligently correlate related events and evidence.
Instead of manually searching through logs, cameras, and controls, operators are automatically presented with everything relevant to an incident in one place.
The result: total situational awareness—faster decisions, fewer mistakes, and better outcomes.
How Adjacency Groups Improve Incident Response?
Adjacency Groups inform YourSix applications, including Matrix and Inspect, enabling them to automatically assemble contextual, ad hoc views when an event occurs or is under investigation.
This means operators can:
- Instantly view adjacent camera footage.
- Control nearby doors or barriers.
- Trigger adjacent output peripherals.
- Initiate speaker callouts for two-way communication.
All without jumping between systems or guessing which devices are relevant.
Real-World Example: Doorbell Event in Action
Imagine a doorbell connected to YourSixOS as a peripheral. If the doorbell is pressed while no one is available on site, a local branch manager can later:
- Locate the activation event in the YourSixOS event log.
- Instantly access the adjacent camera to verify whether the visitor was a delivery driver, contractor, or an unknown individual.
- Take appropriate follow-up action.
Consider the same event at a central monitoring station. An operator can immediately:
- View the adjacent camera feed.
- Verify the visitor’s identity.
- Grant access via the adjacent barrier if authorized
- Or communicate through an adjacent speaker and deny entry if not.
There are no delays, no guesswork—only informed, confident action every time.
Why This Matters
Adjacency Groups deliver immediate value to any organization using security events within YourSixOS by turning disconnected alerts into clear, actionable intelligence.
So What Does This Mean for You?
It means fewer blind spots, faster response times, and confidence that every decision is backed by real-time context.
Instead of reacting to isolated alerts, your team understands the full story—what’s happening, who’s involved, and what action to take next.
