Installation Focus: System Integration

  • Many buildings today contain an assortment of electronic equipment for access control, CCTV and video monitoring, fire and intrusion detection and heating, cooling and lighting controls.
    As manufacturers continue to use open technology and support nonproprietary industry standards, the opportunity is growing for integrators to connect various equipment used for security, life safety and building management into one system. Through integration of IP devices and systems, building operators and security personnel gain more flexible and sophisticated management of their security, life safety and facilities systems. Combining access control with video surveillance is just one example of the power of integrated systems.
    This story will describe the benefits of integration and the opportunity for integrators and the role of IT, security and facilities personnel in the adoption of integrated systems and explore the responsibility of manufacturers in the advancement of integration in the industry.

  • Developments and industry trends in digital video.

Product Focus: Control Panels
