At the ISC West 2025 security trade show, Eagle Eye Networks presented Eagle Eye Automations, an innovative solution that offers companies a smart, flexible and scalable way to automate security-related processes, making them more efficient and cost-effective. The new automation platform is designed as an extensible rule engine that sits on top of the existing Eagle Eye Cloud VMS (Video Management System) and seamlessly links disparate security components.
‘Today’s security systems consist of a wide range of elements, from video surveillance to artificial intelligence to sensors and third-party devices,’ explains Dean Drako, CEO of Eagle Eye Networks. ‘Eagle Eye Automation brings all these components together and ensures that they interact intelligently. This simplifies workflows, reduces manual intervention and conserves human resources, while ensuring a rapid, targeted response in the event of an emergency.’
The platform allows you to set individual rules for specific events – for example, when recognising people, vehicles or licence plates. Depending on the defined scenario, measures can be triggered automatically, such as sending notifications, unlocking doors or forwarding information to external monitoring centres.
Practical examples of automation from various industries
Eagle Eye Automation offers a wide range of possible applications that have already been successfully implemented in real-world scenarios. In a car dealership, for example, the AI detects suspicious movements in the car park after business hours, connects to a monitoring station and triggers an audible warning. If unauthorised access is gained to restricted areas, the system can automatically switch on lights, open doors or play audio announcements.
Another example is parking automation: LPR-based licence plate recognition prevents unauthorised entry into university car parks and documents the incident for further action. In building technology, a water sensor is activated, a camera recording is checked and, if necessary, the water supply is deactivated – an effective protection against expensive consequential damage.
Intelligent automation is also used in the education sector: in a high school, a sensor detects steam in the bathroom, informs the school officer and provides additional information via hallway cameras to assess the situation. In retail stores, on the other hand, the AI can detect whether customers are entering the store immediately after it opens, thus monitoring compliance with opening hours.
Technological partnerships and expanded functionalities
The cooperation with iNet Security and Surveillance from San Antonio, Texas, was particularly highlighted. Together, they developed an automation with Immix software for remote video monitoring that impresses with new features and a simplified infrastructure. By eliminating the need for port forwarding and VPNs, and by adding enhanced video analytics and two-way audio capabilities, the solution offers an attractive, cost-effective alternative for businesses of all sizes.
‘This automation takes the capabilities of remote video monitoring to a new level – with comprehensive person and vehicle detection, push and email notifications, and support for self-monitoring by the end customer,’ emphasises Steven Ballard, Managing Member at iNet.
Advantages at a glance
The key strength of Eagle Eye Automations lies in its high level of customisability and user-friendliness. The rules and automations can be configured and managed via a unified user interface, regardless of the size of the company or its individual security needs. The main advantages include:
- Optimised operations by minimising manual processes
- Proactive alarm management thanks to immediate alerts
- Centralised control of all rules, notifications and actions
- Scalability to fit small to large organisations
- Advanced responsiveness via third-party integrations and physical webhook actions
