What's inside BluSKY

  1. Overview of BluSKY Unified Elevator and Security Platform

    BluSKY is a 'single pane of glass' dashboard that unifies elevator systems and building security. It eliminates the operational gap between lobby access (security) and vertical transportation (elevators) by integrating movement, identity, and data into one source of truth. This integration prevents security blind spots, reduces unauthorized 'piggybacking' to sensitive floors, and optimizes elevator dispatch based on actual identity and access data rather than generic traffic patterns.

  2. Overview of the Building Oracle AI layer

    The Building Oracle is an AI layer within BluSKY that enables users to interact with building systems using voice or text. It allows users to ask questions, issue commands, and receive predictive insights and analytics. The system is designed for human-centric interaction and integrates with a unified data lake for real-time monitoring and command/control operations.

  3. Overview of BluBØX Unified Cloud Security Platform

    BluBØX provides a cloud-native security platform designed for high-rise residential environments to replace fragmented legacy systems (such as separate access control, video surveillance, and elevator controls). The platform is centered around BluSKY, a browser-based, mobile-accessible interface that unifies the following functions into a single dashboard:

    • Access Control: Management of building entry and door locks.
    • Video Surveillance: Integration of CCTV feeds and monitoring.
    • Elevator Control: Restricting and managing floor access.
    • Life Safety & Alarms: Integration of fire alarm panels and emergency intercoms.
    • Visitor Management: Handling visitor intercoms and package delivery systems.

    Key benefits of this unified approach include real-time coordination (e.g., a key card swipe automatically calling an elevator), centralized multi-site management for property portfolios, and remote accessibility via laptop, tablet, or smartphone.

  4. Overview of BluSKY Security Platform for Industrial Facilities

    BluSKY is a cloud-based AI access and video security platform designed for industrial and manufacturing facilities of all sizes. It provides a unified web interface to manage security functions, including system unification, database integration, audits, compliance, cyber security, and visitor/vendor processing. The platform is designed to protect employees, assets, and intellectual property while reducing operating costs.

  5. Overview of the BluSKY Dashboards screen

    The Dashboards screen serves as a central workspace for viewing live data from BluSKY modules. Users define a working scope using Group, System, and Facility selectors, then drag items (such as dashboards, device views, reports, or analytics) from a navigation tree onto a central canvas. A real-time Alarms panel on the right displays events relevant to the selected scope.

  6. Overview of the BluB0X In-Car Person Reader platform

    The BluB0X In-Car Person Reader is a multi-modal identity platform designed to replace traditional elevator card readers. It consolidates five primary functions into a single device: access and credentialing, visitor enablement, emergency intercom, in-car surveillance, and ride-quality analytics. The system is software-defined and supports monthly Over-the-Air (OTA) updates via BluSKY to provide new features, security patches, and compliance upgrades without requiring hardware replacement.

  7. Overview of BluBØX Product Ecosystem

    BluBØX provides an enterprise-class security ecosystem consisting of cloud-based software, on-premise hardware, and professional support services. The ecosystem is divided into three primary brands: BluSKY for cloud management, BluCHIP for hardware control, and BluCARE for professional services.

  9. Overview of SNAP24 rapid video retrieval

    SNAP24 is a security solution by BluBØX designed for rapid video retrieval and security insight. Instead of continuous footage, it captures key snapshots triggered by security events (such as motion, card reads, or alarms), allowing users to pinpoint critical moments without sifting through long video files. It is integrated with BluSKY and utilizes AI analytics to segment and track events across a 360° environment.

  10. Overview of BluBØX Physical Security as a Service (PSaaS)

    BluBØX provides Physical Security as a Service (PSaaS), which shifts the security model to a service-oriented approach. This model includes support contracts and automatic software upgrades, resulting in a lower total cost of ownership and simplified budgeting.

  11. Overview of BluBØX Smart Video Wall components

    The Smart Video Wall is a hardware-independent system managed by Video Management Systems (VMS) software. It consists of the following core components:

    • Management Server Computer: Runs Management Client software to provide the Smart Wall Builder function.
    • Smart Wall Computer: A dedicated VMS computer running Smart Client software for real-time operation and user interaction.
    • Video Display Monitors: Supports any manufacturer, size, or resolution (including Full HD and 4K).

  12. Overview of the Edit Person screen in BluSKY

    The Edit Person screen is used to maintain a person's operational profile. It is organized into several tabs for managing specific aspects of a user's identity and permissions:

    • Roles: Manage BluSKY roles and their scopes.
    • Credentials: Manage credentials and mobile credential toggles (BluID, HID Mobile, Apple Wallet, Google Wallet).
    • Access: Assign access levels, access level groups, and manage BluREMOTE rights.
    • UDFs: Manage User Defined Fields (custom attributes).
    • Suspend: Handle account suspension.
    • Vehicles: Register and manage vehicles associated with the person.
    • Person Photos: Upload and manage identity photos.
    • Badge: Manage physical badge details.
    • Person Preference: Configure person-level preferences.
    • Mobile Devices: Manage enrolled mobile devices.
    • History: View and edit historical entries.
