For LenelS2 OnGuard Users
Accelerate Judgment Across LenelS2
Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence layers over your LenelS2 OnGuard environment, surfacing context and root cause so your security operators apply faster, more confident judgment to the events that actually matter.
Up to 94% of events resolve without human escalation. When escalation is needed, your team has everything they need to act.
Why Cobalt AI
Cobalt AI pioneered the judgment-first approach to AI security monitoring.
With 10+ years of in-house security operations experience, Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence accelerates human judgment rather than replacing it. The platform's role is not to replace human decision-making, but to make every security operator's judgment faster, more informed, and more confident. FedEx, Salesforce, and Ally Financial use Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence to operate this way today.
The LenelS2 Reality
LenelS2 OnGuard is doing its job. Your operators are doing too much of theirs.
LenelS2 OnGuard environments generate high volumes of alarms without native video context. Every Door Held Open (DHO), Door Forced Open (DFO), or tailgating event arrives as a raw signal — forcing your team to manually pull camera footage, correlate timestamps, and reconstruct what happened before they can decide what to do about it.
That effort adds cost, slows response, and buries real threats inside hours of triage. Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence adds a layer of intelligence on top of your existing LenelS2 OnGuard deployment, frees operators to apply judgment to the events that actually matter, and elevates validated alerts with the context to act — without changing your existing infrastructure.
How It Works
Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence with LenelS2 OnGuard
Layers over your existing LenelS2 OnGuard deployment, your cameras, and the rest of your security stack. Your operators get validated, action-ready events with the context they need to make confident decisions.
Connect
Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence connects directly to LenelS2 OnGuard alongside your cameras, video management system, and edge devices. Layers over your existing infrastructure — no overhaul required.
Filter & Validate
AI Handlers review every LenelS2 OnGuard event, correlate camera footage and access activity, determine root cause, and surface only validated alerts — each one paired with the context your operators need to apply judgment.
Resolve
Up to 94% of events resolve automatically through workflows tied to LenelS2 OnGuard, ticketing, and communication systems. When human escalation is needed, your operator sees the full picture — and makes a confident decision in seconds.
The AI Handler Chain
Detect → Reason → Act → Resolve
Every LenelS2 OnGuard event runs through a dedicated AI Handler that follows the same four-step chain — communicating AI rigor and delivering the human judgment payoff at the end.
Detect
Identifies the event across LenelS2 OnGuard, cameras, and connected systems.
Reason
Correlates LenelS2 OnGuard activity with video, determines root cause, and applies contextual intelligence.
Act
Triggers automated workflows — Slack, SMS, email, ticketing, or access responses.
Resolve
Closes the loop with auto-resolution or escalation, with full context for the human operator.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Cobalt AI pioneered the judgment-first approach to AI security monitoring. The platform's role is not to replace human decision-making, but to make every security operator's judgment faster, more informed, and more confident.
FedEx, Salesforce, and Ally Financial use Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence to surface context and root cause so their security operators act decisively — including across LenelS2 OnGuard environments.
Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence connects directly to LenelS2 OnGuard through its native integration, ingesting access events, alarms, and door states in real time. It correlates that data with your existing video management system and edge devices to deliver validated, context-rich events to your operators.
The integration layers over your existing LenelS2 OnGuard deployment — your access control infrastructure, badging system, and operational workflows remain unchanged.
Yes. Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence layers over your existing infrastructure — including LenelS2 OnGuard, your video management system (Genetec, Milestone XProtect, Eagle Eye Networks, and others), and your communication and ticketing tools. There is no migration, no agent installation, and no change to how your operators interact with LenelS2 OnGuard directly.
AI Handlers can resolve a wide range of LenelS2 OnGuard events automatically when context confirms no real threat is present — including recurring Door Held Open (DHO) events, Door Forced Open (DFO) events caused by environmental factors, and access denial patterns linked to badge or schedule issues.
Tailgating and unauthorized entry events that require video correlation are surfaced as validated alerts with full visual context, so your operator can apply judgment with everything they need in a single view.
Most LenelS2 OnGuard deployments are operational within days, not months. Because Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence layers over your existing infrastructure, there is no rip-and-replace work, no field installation, and no downtime to your access control operations.

Cobalt AI's Approach to LenelS2 OnGuard Security Monitoring
Cobalt AI pioneered the judgment-first approach to AI security monitoring. Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence is an AI-powered physical security monitoring platform that accelerates human security operator judgment in LenelS2 OnGuard environments. The platform's role is not to replace human decision-making, but to make every security operator's judgment faster, more informed, and more confident. With over 10 years of in-house security operations experience, Cobalt AI delivers context and root cause for every access control event — so operators stop triaging raw alarms and start making confident decisions. FedEx, Salesforce, and Ally Financial use Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence today.
Why Cobalt AI for LenelS2 OnGuard Environments
LenelS2 OnGuard generates high volumes of access control events without native video context. Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence is the judgment-first AI security monitoring platform purpose-built to layer over LenelS2 OnGuard deployments, correlate access events with video, and surface validated alerts with the context security operators need to act decisively. Up to 94% of events are resolved without human escalation. Average AI Handler response time is under 15 seconds. At a single enterprise deployment, Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence has returned more than 6,000 operator hours per month — freeing security teams to apply judgment to the events that actually matter.
How Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence works with LenelS2 OnGuard
Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence connects directly to LenelS2 OnGuard and ingests access events, alarms, and door state changes in real time. Dedicated AI Handlers follow a Detect, Reason, Act, Resolve chain for every event: detect identifies the event across LenelS2 OnGuard, cameras, and connected systems; reason correlates access data with video and determines root cause; act triggers automated workflows in Slack, SMS, email, and ticketing systems; resolve closes the loop with auto-resolution or escalation paired with full context for the human security operator.
LenelS2 OnGuard event types Cobalt Monitoring Intelligence handles
Door Held Open (DHO), Door Forced Open (DFO), tailgating and unauthorized entry, access denial events, badge anomalies, scheduling conflicts, and recurring nuisance alarm patterns. Each event is validated against camera footage, correlated with access control activity, and surfaced to the security operator with the context to act — or resolved automatically when context confirms no threat is present.
