The integrations fall into the following major groups:

• integrations that feed data to evalink talos

  Some examples are:

  • alarm transmitter integrations – a group of integrations that enable receiving alarms from hardware transmitter devices (alarm panels)

    For details on this group of integrations, see section Work with Alarm Transmitter Integrations.

    Each alarm transmitter integration is powered by one of the virtual receivers in evalik talos. For a list of virtual receivers and the particular alarm transmitter integrations that rely on them, see section Work with Alarm Transmitter Integrations > evalink talos Virtual Receivers.

  • integrations that convert incoming messages arriving by various channels into alarms – for example, Virtual Email Receiver perform the conversion for email messages, Virtual SMS Receiver – for SMS

  • integrations that receive alarms from third-party alarm management systems – for example, the Alarm.com integration

  • integrations that connect evalink talos to video surveillance systems and allow receiving real-time video feeds and the associated alarms / events – for example, the Eagle Eye Networks, NXGEN Genesis integrations

  • incoming Webhooks – an integration that makes it possible for external systems to trigger alarms in evalink talos without any special configuration setup
