Prysm, its platforms, deployment, compliance, and the partner model: the answers to the questions most often asked.

Prysm and its platforms

AppVision is a hypervision and command and control platform, not just a monitoring tool: it is dedicated to control centers, for the day-to-day security management of a site or a group of sites, and federates security, safety, fire, building management, IoT, and energy systems. EsiVision is an alarm monitoring platform: it handles alarm response and runs action guides. It is the business software of the centers that provide 24/7 remote monitoring of large, heterogeneous device fleets, from private homes to sensitive sites — remote monitoring centers, telecare operators, and elevator monitoring companies.

No. AppVision is sold through a network of distributors and system integrators, who deliver the projects. EsiVision is used by service operators who provide monitoring services to their own customers.

No. AppVision federates existing video management systems alongside every other system on site and does not record video. It nevertheless offers capabilities equivalent to those of a VMS, from video wall management to advanced video search.

More than 400 third-party systems are integrated with AppVision, and more than 250 alarm protocols and 150 video protocols with EsiVision, whatever the manufacturer. Prysm sells no hardware. The full list is available in the driver library.
