What is Smart Integration and how does it make our work easier?

“Data in different systems, devices from different brands, teams on different platforms” – this classic problem makes monitoring and incident response slower than it should be.

Smart Integration is the idea of connecting all these devices and platforms so they can talk to each other, then letting the ASAP Platform use AI to filter signals, send alerts, and—when needed—trigger automatic actions in a single system.

Smart Integration in one paragraph

Smart Integration means connecting CCTV, drones, bodycams, IoT devices, and various alert/communication systems to a central platform, so you can see incidents, analyze them, and act according to SOPs quickly—without ripping out your existing systems.

Why “connecting smart” makes work truly easier

1) Get more from what you already have

ASAP works with your existing equipment (cameras, screens, legacy systems) right away.
This cuts cost and migration time—perfect for organizations that already have multiple brands and models deployed.

2) See and control from anywhere

With On-the-Go Monitoring, you can view incidents and make decisions on iPads, phones, or existing monitors.
Information reaches decision-makers faster, so operations flow more smoothly—day and night.

3) From “alert pops up” to “automatic action”

The system doesn’t stop at alerting. It connects to automatic SOPs and can control field devices, such as:

  • Sirens
  • Zone barriers
  • Power on/off for devices

…and even dispatch drones to the incident location when trigger conditions are met—via ASAP.

4) One picture for Cyber + Physical

Canal One’s Unified Security System brings cyber and physical security into one view, reducing silos and delays during emergencies.

5) Faster thinking at the edge with AI

Our IoT & Smart Integration architecture supports Edge AI Processing, which:

  • Reduces latency and cloud load
  • Fits sites with unstable connectivity
  • Supports situations where decisions must be made instantly

6) Safer and greener

Solutions are designed with Green Tech to lower energy usage in camera and network systems, helping organizations raise safety standards while reducing carbon footprint.

What can be connected—and what do you get?

  • CCTV & AI Video Analytics
    → Real-time detection of abnormal events and risky behavior, with recording and timeline playback.
  • Drones / Bodycams
    → Add extra “eyes” for field teams, check blind spots and wide areas faster, and automatically dispatch drones via ASAP+ when conditions are met.
  • IoT & Environmental Sensors
    → Measure PM2.5, pollution, water levels, etc., then let the system alert or automatically activate pollution-control systems.
  • Universal Connector / API
    → Connect multi-brand devices without vendor lock-in, making phased scaling much easier.

Real example in Thailand: From scattered centers to one integrated hub

A Smart Integrated Operation Center (IOC) helps large Thai organizations unify monitoring, alerts, and command into a single center.

This reduces workflow complexity and makes operations faster and more accurate for every department—from executives to security guards.

How to start Smart Integration (4-step roadmap)

  1. Map your assets
    List all cameras, sensors, radios, screens, drones, and the problems you want to fix (e.g. intrusion, fire, PM2.5).
  2. Connect to ASAP
    Use Multi-Platform & IoT Integration to bring existing devices into the central platform (starting from high-risk sites).
  3. Define SOP → Action
    Set clear alert conditions and automatic responses (e.g. sirens, zone blocking, calling teams).
  4. Expand capabilities
    Add ASAP+ for advanced automation (e.g. drone missions) and extend Edge AI to further reduce on-site latency.

Make everything work “as one team”

Smart Integration is not just about wiring devices together.
It makes your systems see faster – think faster – act faster, by:

  • Maximizing existing investments
  • Merging cyber + physical into a single picture
  • Running on an architecture that is fast, efficient, and sustainable through Edge AI and Green Tech

—all powered by the ASAP Platform from Canal One.

FAQ

How is Smart Integration different from just “connecting cameras to a screen”?
Because there is a “central brain” – the ASAP Platform—which:

  • Aggregates signals from CCTV, drones, bodycams, IoT
  • Uses AI to analyze and alert
  • Links to automatic SOPs
  • Directly controls field devices in a single system

Can we connect devices from multiple brands?
Yes. Through a purpose-built API/Universal Connector that supports cross-brand devices, avoiding vendor lock-in and enabling phased scaling.

Why include drones/bodycams in the same system as CCTV?
To increase visibility on the ground and respond faster—for example, automatically sending a drone to an incident site when defined conditions are met (ASAP+), and following the situation in real time from field team bodycams.

Can it support environmental use cases (PM2.5 / flooding)?
Yes. It can monitor PM2.5 and other pollutants, and extend to automatic control of pollution-mitigation systems—all within the same platform.
