Integrating Access Control and Video Surveillance, Part 1

Access control and video surveillance have been used for years as standalone security measures, but the ability to seamlessly integrate the two into a comprehensive solution is a more recent innovation. By leveraging today’s integrated video surveillance and access control technology, you can capture video or still images of everyone who attempts to gain access to your building with their ID card, key fob, code or other form of credential authentication.

How Access Control and Video Integration Works

So, how does your organization stand to benefit from this integration? Think about this: When a person swipes the credential at the access control station, the event is captured them on video immediately. At the same time, the system records the credential details, including who it was issued to. It either grants or denies access based on whether the credential is active.

Because the person is captured on video, the administrator can see who is on the other side of the door. If an attempt is faulty, the admin will know who it was that was trying to enter unauthorized. While this is the most common use of integrated access control and video surveillance, more complex interactions can be set up depending on a business’s requirements.

We offer a single platform to manage access control and video; in fact, you can also integrate alarm systems as well if you see the need. To manage the entire integrated system, there’s a single platform that’s easily accessed via the web. It’s simple and secure.
