How is Alarm and Event Analysis different from Honeywell’s Alarm Scout?
Alarm Scout is a service offering that collects alarm and event data from the user’s site, ships it to a centralized server, and returns reports on alarms and events to site personnel. AEA collects the data, analyzes it on the site, sends reports, and also allows staff to dig into the data immediately. This is achieved by making reports available on the Web, at which time the customer’s view of the data can be adjusted to answer additional questions. AEA also retains the data as long as needed, limited only by storage requirements. This allows the user to analyze a given point in time after the fact. Finally, AEA also works with Alarm Configuration Manager to enable analysis of statistics for alarm enforcement activities.
