Just a few weeks before CEDIA Expo, Nortek Security & Control announced that BlueBOLT 2.0 IP Power Management system is now shipping. BlueBOLT was one of the first IP power management platforms, enabling integrators to manage power in their installations from anywhere with an internet connection. BlueBOLT pairs with Panamax and Furman power conditioners for power protection, performance and management. The BlueBOLT IP power management platform claims to reduce service calls with remote reboots of problem devices, maximizes network health with scheduled power cycles and self-heals network devices to save money and time — managed from anywhere with an internet connection.

New feature include:

• Watchlist to enable tagging of high priority locations and devices
• Super Search with a faster search engine to find customers, locations and devices
• Advanced ADMIN to manage access rights for individuals as well as groups

BlueBOLT enables integrators to deliver service to clients and ensure proper operation of audio, video, control and security systems. Integrators can troubleshoot client systems without rolling a truck, use real-time and historical power monitoring to diagnose problems with a utility company, program ping-based outlet cycling to automatically reboot unresponsive equipment and provide proactive monitoring through email alerts that are sent when a client’s system logs a new event. For commercial applications that don’t rely on the cloud, BlueBOLT enables local control through its embedded browser.
