This allows operators to visualize and record the real-time data from the HALO Smart Sensor, as though it were a typical IP Camera. HALO Smart Sensor can also send event messages to the POS Transaction engine of ACC. When the threshold of sensors is exceeded, TCP/IP messages are transmitted to ACC, and the Rules can be used to associate cameras and alarms to the HALO Smart Sensor events.
