Unlock the Full Potential of Your Building Systems

BACnet AUTOMATION

StarWatch™ brings the power of BACnet integration to your security environment — seamlessly connecting access control and intrusion detection data with your building automation systems to drive smarter operations and meaningful cost savings. One unified network. One intelligent platform. Endless possibilities for a more efficient, sustainable facility.

Introduction

Redefining What a Connected Building Can Do

Beyond Security — A Smarter, More Efficient Facility

The buildings of tomorrow aren't just secure — they're smart. And the technology that makes them smart is no longer the exclusive domain of building automation specialists or security professionals. With BACnet integration built directly into the StarWatch platform, the boundary between physical security and facility management simply disappears. Real-time access control and intrusion detection data flows seamlessly into your building automation systems — automatically adjusting HVAC, lighting, and energy controls based on actual occupancy and personnel movement throughout your facility. The result is a more efficient, more responsive, and more sustainable operation that benefits everyone — from building owners looking to reduce operating costs to security directors seeking a unified view of their entire environment.

Compatible With Any System. Locked Into None.

Open architecture design ensures full compatibility with any ANSI/ASHRAE compliant system, giving you the freedom to choose the best technology for your needs without being locked into proprietary platforms. This is what intelligent building management looks like - and StarWatch is what makes it possible.

The BACnet Advantage

When Security Intelligence Powers Your Building

One unified network connecting physical security with building automation — delivering smarter operations, measurable cost savings, and a more sustainable facility.

When someone badges into a room, a credential is scanned at an entry point, or a zone is armed at the end of the day, that security event carries far more value than a simple access log entry. Through BACnet integration, StarWatch transforms every access and secure event into a real-time building intelligence signal — one that your facility's automation systems can act on instantly.

Lighting responds to occupancy, not schedules. When the last person badges out of a space, lights switch off automatically. When personnel enter restricted areas after hours, lighting and HVAC adjust accordingly — reducing energy waste without any manual intervention.

HVAC follows people, not the clock. Rather than heating and cooling empty spaces on a fixed timetable, building automation systems receive live occupancy signals from StarWatch and adjust environmental controls dynamically — floor by floor, zone by zone, in real time.

The result is a facility that operates more intelligently at every level — lower energy costs, reduced infrastructure complexity, improved regulatory compliance, and a security environment that is more aware, more responsive, and more deeply integrated than any standalone system could achieve.
