Security officers no longer have to be tied to a desk and a wall of monitors when they can view digital surveillance footage on their iPhone or Android while patrolling a facility.
Training dispatch or monitoring personnel to use multiple systems throughout an organization can waste time, energy and money, but by using an integrated security management system you can consolidate your video surveillance, access control, enterprise IT, fire and intrusion alarms, elevator controls and building management under one view.
The costs of tearing out old coax cabling to install a new IP surveillance or access control devices can negate many of the bonuses of having a state-of-the-art system.
