Door Activity

Making the open and shut case for better door security!

​

Aware Buildings' Door Activity, or Aware-DA is a solution with the ability to monitor the usage and status of doors throughout your building - from industrial, to garage, to the standard hinged door. Aware-DA works by way of contact, so they are intuitive and easy to install, battery-operated with a 3+ year battery life, and take only a few minutes to configure and deploy.

​

The Door Activity Sensor Solution can provide real-time usage patterns, email/text notifications for accessed doors, provide open/closed status, emit verbal warnings or alerts if equipped with our annunciator, and so much more! 

​

Additionally, it can be used:​

• to monitor access to hazardous goods like cutlery drawers and cleaning supply cabinets

• as a back-up system for safes and other lock boxes

• as an additional security measure for windows

Aware Relay

Aware Buildings' Aware Labs is working on an audio AI monitoring solution that we call our "alarm relay". The alarm relay is a wireless device that could be plugged into your apartment, or even shared hallway. It has been trained via machine learning / AI to "listen" to a whole bunch of different types of beeps from different types of alarms: smoke carbon monoxide and natural gas which all tend to be in the 2.4–3.8 KHz range. They report back to the Aware Network so management can instantly know both when and where in the building any alarm goes off (smoke, carbon dioxide, natural gas and even a depleted battery alert). 

Alarm Relay is further being trained to recognize a variety of sounds, for example, somebody shouting the word "help" with urgency (in the case of a fall or other type of incapacitating condition) and then sending an alert to management.

Button Logging

Shine a light on cleaning and other critically important scheduled staff activities with Aware Buildings' Button-Logging Solution

The Button-Logging sensor solution records the last time a designated area or piece of equipment was disinfected or inspected. This sensor solution creates a log over time of cleaning and maintenance activities, which can help to enforce cleaning and sanitation schedules. This solution can limit liability, reinforce the feeling of safety for residents and strengthen new COVID reopening policies.

​

Simply instruct your staff to press the button assigned to each area when they have finished cleaning it. 

​

The logged button-press will:

• ​Provide property managers with a clear view of whether cleaning schedules are being rigorously adhered to

• Encourage staff to stay on top of their building hygiene responsibilities

• Inform residents of the most recent cleaning performed on an area they wish to use

The Button-Logging solution can be used to enforce and manage an array of other recurring tasks that need to be recorded. Logged events can be viewed within the Aware Buildings dashboard when logged into the site, or by staff and residents within their respective BuildingLink app, or via their BuildingLink website. 

Art Guard

Artworks, especially those on canvas, paper, or wood, are highly sensitive to environmental conditions; even slight fluctuations in temperature or humidity can lead to fading, warping, or mold growth, which degrade the art's quality and value. Aware's art guard sensors provide continuous tracking of temperature and humidity levels, alerting art owners when conditions approach ranges that could damage their pieces. By ensuring that art remains in an optimal environment, these sensors help preserve each piece's integrity and longevity.

The sensors also add a layer of security with theft detection capabilities. If an artwork is moved or disturbed unexpectedly, the sensors can immediately notify the owner or building security, enabling a quick response to potential theft. This proactive security measure provides peace of mind for art owners who want to display their collections without compromising their safety, even in a high-rise setting where security personnel may not have constant visual access to individual apartments.

For art owners, Aware Building’s environmental and theft monitoring sensors protect valuable collections from environmental damage and theft, preserving their investments and enhancing security.

For insurers, these sensors provide assurance that artworks are safeguarded with real-time monitoring, potentially reducing the risk of claims due to environmental damage or theft. This technology offers a robust solution for protecting high-value art assets, ensuring they remain secure and in pristine condition, adding value to both the art owner’s collection and the insurer’s risk management efforts.

Computer Vision

Aware Building’s wireless sensors equipped with computer vision monitoring add a powerful layer of security and operational insight in a residential high-rise building. Using computer vision, these sensors can monitor key areas such as entrances, lobbies, hallways, and common spaces, automatically detecting activities or situations that might require attention, such as unauthorized entry, suspicious behavior, overcrowding, or safety hazards.

By capturing and analyzing real-time video feeds, these sensors can promptly alert building staff to potential safety concerns, enabling faster responses that protect residents and prevent incidents.

Computer vision monitoring also improves operational efficiency by reducing the need for constant physical surveillance by staff, allowing them to focus on responding to incidents rather than routine monitoring. It can identify patterns and anomalies, such as high-traffic areas that may need more frequent cleaning or maintenance, improving the overall building experience. Additionally, computer vision can help optimize building operations by identifying inefficiencies, such as lighting usage or HVAC demands, based on real-time occupancy data.

For building managers, Aware Building’s computer vision sensors enhance security and operational efficiency, providing continuous oversight that allows for faster, more targeted responses to potential issues. For board members, this technology demonstrates a commitment to resident safety, improving the overall appeal of the building and potentially lowering liability risks. With computer vision monitoring, high-rise buildings can achieve a safer, more efficient, and better-managed environment that promotes peace of mind for residents and board members alike.
