Strengthen protection and control with Unified Security Solution

Over the last decade, the security landscape has been evolving in fundamental ways. Where once security systems were primarily based on cameras, access readers and other electronic devices focused on protecting physical spaces, they have become software-based, securing both physical and digital spaces. Today, for most organizations, security encompasses even more – it’s now also about bringing added value to the organization.

Unified systems make operations more secure

When your video and access control security systems talk to each other, you have the potential to increase protection levels exponentially. The seamless sharing of data significantly improves your ability to keep your people and assets safe. Siemens unified security makes this happen. By connecting our SiPass integrated Access Control and Siveillance Video Management systems, we provide a smart, highly transparent way to manage security systems.

When our SiPass integrated and Siveillance Video systems interact with each other, events from both systems are analyzed as a single data set. The information you need for seamless alarm management is delivered immediately – all on a single screen.

Gone are the days of toggling between two screens and learning two or more systems. With centralized monitoring and operations, you’ll have situational awareness from one user interface. You minimize the possibility of missing important events while increasing response times when events occur.

Greater efficiency 

Handling and reviewing events is easier and faster with a Unified Security approach. When access events occur, a security operator receives an associated live or recorded event video to better understand the situation in order to respond to the event. Unification enhances the security system process by combining operations into one interface to better manage and review events onsite or remotely – at desktop workstations or on mobile (Android or iOS) devices.

Flexible and scalable

Most set ups are easy and require minimal onsite configuration. As security needs change,

you can easily add video and access control enhancements. You can also integrate with other building applications, such as visitor registration, elevator management, gunshot detection, intercoms, license plate recognition (LPR), forensic search platforms and various types of video analytics.

Reap the rewards

If you choose to fully implement our unified access and video solution, you’ll be able to:

• Control on one screen: Manage events, stream and state changes, and trigger rules and actions from both video and access control systems through one interface
• Search by identity: Receive and search by cardholder information and compare to live video
• Customize alarms: Create alarms based on access control events and associate alarms with video feeds
• Intrusion integration: Monitor and control video, access and intrusion systems from a single all-purpose security interface by adding Siemens intrusion stations
• Manage technology: Display video cameras, access points, intrusion points, alarms and events on a graphical map in a single platform
• Leverage powerful APIs: Allows open integration of systems and products, including third-party offerings
• Select preferred equipment: Leverage open integration capabilities and choose from a variety of video cameras, biometric readers and mobile credential readers
• Implement system easily: Get started without complex integration, scripting or APIs
• Secure by design: Increased connectivity and interoperability without increasing vulnerability
