The Otto POE controller is a simple, cost effective, 8-input / 8-output controller.  Designed for Nurse Call and Dementia Monitoring systems; Offering on board control of various devices.  Otto can be used independently or with a new/existing head end server.

No Head End Required

Having control of devices natively on the board removes the requirement for often expensive head-end equipment and software, significantly reducing investment costs. 

In traditional head end applications, should the head end malfunction, the whole system is rendered inert until repaired or replaced.  Otto removes this issue by storing all programming information in non-volatile memory, ensuring only those devices connected are affected by a component failure.
