With over 200 cameras now active in the OpenEye Cloud, this new direct-to-cloud approach has fundamentally changed the way OLS will design and install CCTV and Video Surveillance Systems (VSS) going forward. The company is now embracing a cloud-first model that eliminates the need for traditional on-site recording hardware, streamlining installation and long-term maintenance.

“This deployment represents a significant leap for cloud surveillance in the UK,” said Ollie Law, Founder & CEO at OLS. “Being the first to implement OpenEye’s direct-to-cloud technology here demonstrates our commitment to providing future-ready, scalable security solutions for our clients.”

Neil Handley, UK Director of Sales at OpenEye said “We are thrilled to see OLS take the lead in deploying OpenEye’s direct-to-cloud technology in the UK. This partnership underscores the transformative potential of intelligent cloud solutions, enabling businesses to enhance security while simplifying operations”

Clients benefit from:

Access control is critical to UK pharmaceutical companies as they are highly regulated with stringent, requirements in which they must comply. Unauthorised access to sensitive data can result in serious legal consequences. Safeguarding sensitive data, protecting intellectual property, ensuring compliance with industry standards, and maintaining the integrity of research and production processes are of the utmost importance.

Access control solutions ensure that only authorised personnel have access to critical assets. Access activities can be monitored and logged, allowing companies to track who accessed what, when and for what purpose. This information is vital for auditing, identifying security breaches, and implementing corrective measures promptly.

Each of the five pharmaceutical companies that now have contracts with OLS Limited will benefit from streamlined, fully scalable systems where data is always available, access control is more secure, and changes can be made easily as and when the business needs. Multiple credential technologies have been deployed, subject to the companies’ individual requirements.

Suprema BioStar Air was predominantly recommended due to the convenience of using mobile as a means of access over a card or fob, preventing the need to continuously issue cards to new employees or reissue them if they get lost. Act 365 was also recommended due to its ability to create specific cardholder groups for employees with limited access. Both solutions will save the companies on future costs, as there is no longer a need for onsite servers and network heavy hardware that require ongoing maintenance.

Ollie Law, Managing Director of OLS Limited said, “It has been great to see the rise in enquiries coming from the pharmaceutical sector, and we’re excited for the opportunity to establish OLS within this industry, by providing effective access control systems. The feedback we have received from our new clients has been positive. They felt that OLS was the right decision as we displayed extensive cloud experience, references, and a clear understating of what pharmaceutical suppliers need. Our offering of a flexible, strategic approach and wealth of knowledge in full cloud migration, seamlessly integrating systems with existing software, attracted the companies – alongside the level of support and maintenance we are more than pleased to provide them over the next three years.

“We’re delighted these companies have chosen OLS as their cloud-based security provider and look forward to further business growth within the pharmaceutical sector.”

Key Benefits

• By combining access control and video management into one unified interface, business owners have the ability to obtain more visibility and control of their premises. For example, when incidents occur at a door (as they often do), operators can simply click on the access control event to locate and review the recorded footage. Additionally, with alarm panel integration, ACT365 allows authorized cardholders to arm and disarm the system either with a credential or from the web portal.
• Traditional security systems often require a dedicated PC located onsite in order to manage the system. With ACT365, a business owner or security manager can access the system 365 days a year from any device, smartphone, tablet, laptop or PC. This allows stakeholders to stay truly connected to their business by accessing video footage on their tablet, locking down doors remotely or receiving important push notifications to their smartphone.
• Managed service. Since ACT365 is hosted on the cloud, businesses can eliminate the need for a robust IT department and expensive hardware. The managed service model also enables organizations to take advantage of ongoing support, maintenance and remote troubleshooting.

Typical Applications

• Multiple sites (retail, restaurants, satellite offices). For businesses looking to reduce shrinkage, theft and fraudulent claims by customers or staff, ACT365 provides the ability to replicate one security solution across multiple sites with central monitoring and reporting.
• Small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Though some businesses have limited IT resources, these facilities still require the ability to protect their building, assets and employees. ACT365 can help avoid the cost of PCs or servers while enhancing security through remote management capabilities.
• Payment control (gyms, property management/rental companies). Through the ACT365 API, users may set scenarios whereby facilities can restrict access when an individual’s membership lapses or expires.
• Remote sites (construction sites, water towers, electrical substations). With the need to secure a remote facility with limited IT infrastructure and the administration of cards a burden, ACT365 provides seamless communication, time and attendance reports, and the ability to restrict access from any location.

As we become more familiar and comfortable with cloud-centric technology and services, the benefits of deploying these solutions for physical security are apparent. ACT365 harnesses the cloud’s power to deliver end users a comprehensive and efficient security solution. Learn more about the Vanderbilt ACT365 solution.
