Integrated Security Systems

An integrated security system brings components together—always-on monitoring, intrusion prevention, CCTV, access control, and more—to maximize protection.

Activo integrates security systems that include a variety of elements. so that all of your critical security information is available as part of a singular infrastructure. As a result, any device connected to your IP security network is able to securely access important information about your facility’s security at any time—remotely and conveniently.

Components

Monitoring

A monitoring service provider is constantly ready to react if an incident occurs—like if a fire breaks out while you’re there or if someone tries to break in after hours.

CCTV

CCTV systems are used to monitor and protect buildings and property. They can be set up to run continuously, be controlled manually, or be triggered automatically.

Intrusion

Intrusion prevention is all about taking necessary steps to keep unwanted visitors from accessing your property without permission whether or not you’re there.

Access Control

Protecting your building means more than locking doors. Our access control systems (also called keyless entry or card entry systems) can help you manage access to each and every area.

Intercoms

Intercoms play an important role in creating a safe environment for people using your buildings, enabling internal communications or paging and announcement notifications.

Applications

Hospitals

Healthcare facilities will often seek to combine components (merging alarm systems with access control and CCTV) to keep patients, staff, and visitors safe.

Energy and Nuclear

Energy-generating stations typically require more complex security systems that make use of monitoring, CCTV surveillance, access control, alarms, and more.

Institutional

Integrated security solutions are especially important in high-security settings like jails. Time is of the essence, which means all the components (alarms, intercoms, surveillance, and more) need to be ready to communicate with each other and respond instantly.

Key Considerations

What is the right level of integration?

This can range from small integrations (two to three systems) through more massive ones (upwards of twenty) and will vary significantly depending on individual application. Our technicians will consult directly with you to determine what level of integration will best meet your needs.

To ask this a different way, how do you want each component to talk to and work with the others? An example of a simpler flow might start with someone scanning their card to enter an area. That prompts the camera to take a snapshot of their face, which will be logged with their sign-in date and time as part of the audit trail. This will be traceable and trackable for you.

Does everything need to be compatible?

Keep in mind that integrations can be partitioned. You might want access control to be directly connected to localized CCTV cameras, but not to the entire CCTV network.

A key part of our job at Activo is finding solutions that will work together and suit your needs.
