IQSIGHT Earns LenelS2 Certification for Enhanced Video and Analytics Integration with OnGuard 8.3 Published on 1 October 2026 by Lawing Tech Newsroom (3 min read)
IQSIGHT has obtained LenelS2 certification in-house under the OpenAccess Alliance Program (OAAP), validating the interoperability of its Video Recording Manager (VRM) with the OnGuard 8.3 system. This integration enables unified management of videos and real-time analytical alerts, optimizing incident response for security operators.

The LenelS2 certification obtained by IQSIGHT under the OpenAccess Alliance Program (OAAP) validates the integration of its Video Recording Manager (VRM) , versions 4.50 and 4.70, with LenelS2’s OnGuard 8.3 system. This synchronization allows users to access live and recorded video streams directly from OnGuard, along with alerts from IQSIGHT’s Intelligent Video Analytics (IVA) and IVA Pro .
According to John Marchioli , OAAP product manager at LenelS2, this certification « validates the functionality of the interface between IQSIGHT and OnGuard after rigorous factory testing » (source: SDM Magazine ). Operators now receive real-time alerts, such as perimeter breaches, with color-coded visual highlights to precisely locate events within a scene.
The combination of IQSIGHT’s video solutions with OnGuard’s security features enhances security personnel’s situational awareness by providing clear visual information and precise threat detection.

IQSIGHT’s VRM supports access to videos stored across multiple iSCSI disk arrays, optimizing storage space and extending retention periods. This feature is particularly useful for organizations managing large volumes of video data, such as logistics centers or university campuses. IQSIGHT’s DIVAR IP appliances, certified under this program, integrate these components for centralized management.
Matt Lamb, IQSIGHT’s director of technical solutions, emphasizes that « the combination of IQSIGHT’s video solutions with OnGuard’s security features improves security personnel’s situational awareness » (source: security.world ). Analytical alerts, such as intrusion detections, are now displayed directly in the OnGuard interface, reducing response times.
What this changes here: implications for businesses and administrations in West Africa
For businesses and administrations in Benin and West Africa, this certification could simplify the implementation of interoperable video surveillance and access control systems. Organizations already using LenelS2 solutions for access management could integrate IQSIGHT cameras and software without requiring a costly migration of their existing infrastructure.
Real-time analytical alerts, such as perimeter breach detection, could enhance the security of sensitive sites like airports, industrial zones, or government buildings. For example, a Beninese ministry managing multiple remote sites could centralize video surveillance and alerts on a single platform, thereby improving the coordination of security teams.
Additionally, optimizing video storage via iSCSI arrays could reduce maintenance costs for administrations while extending the retention periods for recordings. This would be particularly advantageous for regulated sectors, where event traceability is critical.
What are the next steps for LenelS2 and IQSIGHT users?
LenelS2 users can now deploy IQSIGHT video solutions with confidence, knowing that integration with OnGuard 8.3 has been validated through factory tests. IQSIGHT, formerly known as Bosch Video Systems, continues to commit to the OAAP program, as confirmed by John Marchioli: « We are pleased by their continued involvement » (source: securityinformed.com ).
Businesses interested in this integration will benefit from a unified solution combining access control, video surveillance, and intelligent flow analysis, all accessible from a single interface. This could accelerate the adoption of advanced security systems in countries where surveillance infrastructure is rapidly expanding.
