UNCOVERING THE LAYERS

is the golden ticket to bringing separate physical security solutions together for simplified monitoring . However , integration in this sense is limited .
The goal of a security operator is not only access – it ’ s action . They might want to unlock a door where someone is having issues , for example , or trigger a call with an intercom to check why someone is trying to access a particular area . With an integrated system , data is not centralised , so to begin a response action , the users must still move between systems . Each time they move , they lose sight of one corner of their operation and the risk of making an error increases .
With a truly unified system , they wouldn ’ t lose sight of anything . The data from each system is embedded in a unified , centralised platform . Data is not only presented to users seamlessly as part of their day-to-day activities , but that information is filtered on the user ’ s terms to prioritise actionable events and any other events are dealt with using repeatable , automated operating procedures . At that point , information flows smoothly across the solution , optimising an operator ’ s attention and effort and minimising the risk of human error through automation .
Unification brings together all security system components seamlessly in a single software platform with one user interface in a way that can vastly improve physical security management . From there , the wealth of actionable business intelligence , www . intelligentdatacentres . com
