For sites already using DAVANTIS video analytics, integrating with KnowIo offers a powerful upgrade—bringing automation, accuracy, and operational simplicity to perimeter protection. This integration is especially valuable for RVRCs (Remote Video Response Centres), central stations, and facilities managers who want to reduce false alarms and streamline workflows.
How the Integration Works
The KnowIo system links directly with DAVANTIS, allowing access events (like unlocking a gate or padlock) to automatically disarm the CCTV analytics. When the site is vacated and locked, KnowIo sends a signal to re-arm DAVANTIS. This ensures that surveillance is only active when the site is empty, eliminating alarms during authorised access.
Whether using the KnowIo app or smart padlocks/keypads, the system ensures that:
- Authorised entry silences the CCTV analytics
- Site locking reactivates surveillance
- All events are logged and time-stamped for full traceability
This creates a seamless, automated workflow where access and security are perfectly synchronised.
Benefits for RVRCs & Central Stations
1. Dramatically Fewer False Alarms DAVANTIS already filters out non-threat motion. With KnowIo controlling when the system is armed, fewer false positives. Control rooms only receive verified human or vehicle alerts no more nuisance alarms from pets, wind, or authorised staff.
2. Familiar Workflow, Cleaner Signal Alarms still come through the existing CCTV channel, but KnowIo acts as a gatekeeper ensuring only relevant alerts reach operators. This reduces queue times, operator fatigue, and the risk of missing real threats.
3. Lower Monitoring Costs Fewer false alarms mean fewer call-outs and less time spent reviewing trivial events. With DAVANTIS upgrades and KnowIo integration, monitoring centres can operate more efficiently and cost-effectively.
Benefits for Site Managers & End Users
1. One Unified Platform Users get a mobile “single pane of glass” for gate and alarm control, no need to juggle multiple apps, fobs, or keycodes. Everything is managed through the KnowIo interface, with full visibility of access and alarm events.
2. Granular Access Control KnowIo supports multi-tier user roles (e.g. standard user, manager), temporary PINs, and zone-specific permissions. This ensures only authorised personnel can access or disarm sensitive areas, with full audit trails for accountability.
3. Enhanced Situational Awareness Combining KnowIo’s access logs with DAVANTIS’s verified alarm footage gives managers a complete picture of every incident. Notifications (e.g. gate left ajar) and live snapshots ensure nothing is missed.
4. Compliance & Insurance Benefits DAVANTIS is CPNI/NPSA- and Secured-by-Design-certified. When paired with KnowIo, the system supports regulatory standards and can help sites qualify for insurance discounts due to verified perimeter protection and detailed logging.
Benefits for Installers & Integrators
1. Easy Upgrade Path KnowIo adds a modern IoT layer to any existing DAVANTIS system. It’s simple to install and creates a richer, up-sellable solution for clients.
2. Future-Proofing Security Systems By combining access control and video analytics, installers can offer a more intelligent, integrated solution that meets the evolving needs of high-security sites.
