Organizations are increasingly directing resources toward the physical security of their staff and facilities. However, with the rapidly changing technology available it’s sometimes difficult to know what to do. Convergence of security systems with network technologies has created both challenges and opportunities. When planning a new facility or renovation it’s important to have experience in both worlds.

NEXT GENERATION

Today’s physical security systems are vastly different and more capable than the legacy systems they replace. These modern systems are capable of providing a common interface to a myriad of base building and tenant systems and integrating disparate systems to provide advanced capabilities. For example, data sharing across IT and Human Resource systems allows for procedure automation and electronic notification methods. HILDEBRANDT BAKER ROBBINS stays at the cutting edge and will inform you of these enhanced capabilities so you can get the full value and benefit from your security system.

CONSOLIDATION

Efficiencies can be gained by consolidating separate systems into one comprehensive monitoring and notification system. Monitoring of mission critical IT infrastructure (e.g. UPS, generator, air conditioning), life safety equipment (e.g. defibrillator, medical panic), time clock, debt payments (e.g. dining, vending machines) in a common interface with security, provides numerous cost and operational efficiencies. Additional efficiencies are created when combining one system as a central notification system for local emergency alert, email notification, building management and maintenance notification and outcall to third-party monitoring services. Extending and integrating this common system across multiple locations provides even more value.
