## **Overview**

GCXONE is a cloud-based platform for alarm management and security monitoring. It centralizes alarms, video surveillance, device health, workflows, and AI-based filtering into one interface, so operations don't depend on local, on-site infrastructure.

## **What Problems Does GCXONE Solve?**

Many security operations centers and service providers face the same challenges:

- High volumes of false alarms caused by environmental factors such as movement, light, or weather
- Time-consuming manual verification processes
- Cameras going offline or degrading without being noticed
- Complex and slow onboarding of new customers, sites, and devices
- Limited visibility across distributed systems and locations

## **How Does GCXONE Work?**

Every alarm follows a structured workflow:

- Devices, cameras, and sensors send events to GCXONE
- NOVA99x AI filters up to **99% of false alarms in real time**
- Verified alarms are delivered to Talos with full context
- Operators review, confirm, or escalate incidents
- Automated workflows handle notifications, escalation, and SLA processes
- Every alarm is fully documented and stored in the audit log

## **Core Value**

### Up to 99% Reduction in False Alarms with NOVA99x

The built-in AI analyzes motion events in real time using:

- Object detection
- Dynamic motion analysis
- Tracking and re-identification

### Faster Operations

- Zen Mode for rapid situational awareness
- Universal Search for instant access to data
- Role-based dashboards with clear KPIs

### Health Check

Health Check continuously monitors all devices and detects issues early:

- Camera going offline or losing connectivity
- Black screen detection or obstruction
- Poor lighting conditions

### Scalable Growth

- Bulk Import for rapid large-scale onboarding
- TowerGuard for centralized tower infrastructure monitoring
- Marketplace for instant activation of new features without redeployment

## **Genie – The Built-in AI Assistant**

Genie is GCXONE's built-in AI assistant. It sits as a floating panel on the dashboard, always available. Users type their question and Genie pulls the relevant data or takes the action directly.

Genie handles five key areas:

- Alarms & System Insights: alarm summaries and system data analysis
- Ticket Management: open, close, or check ticket status by number
- VPN Requests: submit and manage VPN requests directly through the assistant
- Device Setup and Troubleshooting: step-by-step guidance for configuration and connectivity issues
- Adding Devices: start the device-creation flow directly from the chat

## **Platform Architecture**

### Multi-Tenant Structure

Clear hierarchy for maximum control:

- Service Provider, Customer, Site, Device, Sensor

Enables clean separation, clear ownership, and precise access control.

### Multi-Level Operational Control

- Service Provider: global overview and SLA management
- Customer: customer-specific insights
- Site: local operations and incidents
- Device: detailed device-level monitoring

### Role-Based Access

Each user only sees what is relevant to their role. Access is controlled through structured permissions and role configurations.

## **Integration with Talos**

GCXONE and Talos work together:

- GCXONE filters and prioritizes alarms before they reach operators
- Only relevant events are forwarded
- Talos manages structured handling and escalation
- All actions are fully documented
