AVTECH is proud to introduce the newest release of our cloud-based monitoring, alerting, and reporting platform,\u00a0GoToMyDevices 2.0<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Room Alert customers in 181 countries have been using GoToMyDevices to set up alerts, monitor conditions, and get reports on trends in their facilities.\u00a0GoToMyDevices is the best and easiest way to monitor your environment with Room Alert, and we\u2019ve made some enhancements to that platform to better help our customers.<\/p>\n

We’d like to give a brief overview of the new features and enhancements we’ve built into the new GoToMyDevices release. Other in-depth looks at some of the specific features will be coming in the very near future, so be sure to subscribe to our blog feed or follow us on Twitter<\/a> for instant notification of new info.<\/p>\n

New Alerts\u00a0Interface<\/h3>\n

The first thing users will notice when they log in is the new interface\u00a0for\u00a0the Alerts section of\u00a0GoToMyDevices. The new Alerts screen allows users to get a quick overview of the status of all their alerts. Currently triggered alerts will be in red to draw immediate attention, all alert values will be displayed, and alerts triggering actions (more info on the new enhanced alerting is below) will be easily noted. This creates an ‘Alerts Dashboard’ hat makes it easy to see and review the alerts that may require immediate attention.<\/p>\n

Users can now keep their Alerts Dashboard open in a browser window and see instantly when an alert goes into alarm state, or moves into a cleared state.<\/p>\n

Camera Integration<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Axis cameras<\/a>\u00a0will now be able to push status information and images captured from motion detection directly to GoToMyDevices. Custom firmware for Axis cameras will be available for customers with GoToMyDevices Professional or higher to enable this enhanced functionality. This will allow for immediate visual confirmation of motion alerts or to view a snapshot of\u00a0facilities for security purposes when motion is detected.<\/p>\n

\"NEW!<\/a><\/p>\n

Now you can monitor the status of your Axis network cameras as easily as you can monitor Room Alert, all with GoToMyDevices.<\/p>\n

For a full list of currently supported cameras, please see our FAQ <\/a>with model and firmware information.<\/p>\n

Enhanced Alert Functionality <\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the\u00a0most requested features from our customers was for enhanced alert functionality. Since many of our clients have been using our cloud-based monitoring system to alert multiple users and departments, they wanted the ability to have more control over how alerts were sent, who they were sent to, and what the messages looked like. We listened to their feedback, and are proud to announce the expanded and enhanced alert functions below.<\/p>\n
