KentixONE-GO is a paid cloud service that extends KentixONE with additional cloud-based functions and services. KentixONE-GO replaces the previous Kentix360 cloud service and its smartphone app. Previous users of Kentix360 can also switch to KentixONE-GO and the new app when updating their Kentix devices to KentixONE. The previous license key can still be used.
The KentixONE-GO smartphone app (iOS, Android) is included in the scope of delivery. It enables access to the system overview, logbooks, live video images, measured values and system statuses, the arming/disarming of alarm zones, parts of the user administration as well as integrated PUSH and e-mail dispatch for alarm and system messages. The “Digital door key” function is also available. This allows door authorizations to be easily distributed and, if desired, operated via NFC or remote opening. There is also the “Daily system check” function (routine check) by KentixONE-GO to ensure general system availability. The number of users is not limited.
