Why is a Managed Services Technology organization talking about Alarm Systems and Access Control?  Well, lets start with the fact that the technology available today for alarms and access control systems has grown in ability/features by leaps and bounds.  Included in these features are interfaces where people who understand regular business technology interfaces and terms can add/delete/change or modify users and parameters for most systems without having to call for an expensive service call to make those canges.   So, why do you want a managed alarm, access control and surveilance system that is managed by your in-house IT or Managed Service Provider?  Single point of control, single point of responsibility and single point of notification for action is just the start of the reasons why.  When you hire, fire or change... does it not make sense that you notify one department and all access to computers, servers, email, intranets, alarm systems, access control systems and surveilance systems are all implemented by the same technologist?  Why and/or how does it make sense to involve a second group of people or a second company to significantly increase the cost of these actions?

Alarm Systems are no limited to one code for all users.  Each user is now registered in the Alarm Panel (and the Central Monitoring Station)and has their own access, hours of access and access to specific areas only.  When the user enters their code, the system allows access and then notifies the approprite people that access has been granted, documents the data and time of the access and can also enable other devices for real time recording of video and/or access control modifications.

 How do you track users in and out of your office, remote offices, warehouse etc?  How do you restrict access to only the areas that employees need to be able to get into? Why is this so complicated?  It is not.  When a modern Access Control System is created and properly implemented, the controls are seamless and easily maintained.

Video Surveilance is one of the most difficult implementations to get accomplished correctly of all technologies.  The vast majority of video surveilance systems simply do not work.  Sure, you see a picture... but does the picture cover the appropriate area?  Does the picture allow for identification of the individuals, are they from the correct angles, can you clearly see a face?  What is the resolution it is recording at, how frequently are the images recorded, how long is the image maintained on the Network Video Recorder for?  Is the Network Video Recorder Archived for permanent storage of the images?  The answer is a partnership whereby you have a trusted advisor that is knowledgeable as to how to help you do this.
