Vanderbilt, the US security product company recently completed its integration with Mercury Security and is now an Authentic Mercury partner.
The integration means Vanderbilt devices support Mercury Security’s hardware controllers and peripheral panels. For Vanderbilt’s installer partners, an open-architecture approach supports technology deployments, providing freedom to choose solutions that work best for a specific deployment, an end user’s needs and infrastructure requirements, according to the firm.
As an Authentic Mercury partner, Vanderbilt says it’ll provide customers with a path to move beyond proprietary hardware to more feature-rich access control solutions. Through open standards efforts such as those promoted by ONVIF, Vanderbilt affords the interconnection of its solutions and devices with other IP-enabled systems to aggregate security data. The firm says this approach allows users to improve security staff productivity, increase situational awareness and gather more security and business intelligence.
Matt Barnette, President, Mercury Security, said: “Open solutions enable greater choice in technologies for end users, streamlines installation and maximizes product integration. Vanderbilt’s support of Mercury solutions allows more flexibility for today’s modern security leaders and systems integrators, and supports the future of the industry.”
Mitchell Kane, President, Vanderbilt, said: “There is increasing demand for open and interoperable access control solutions and Vanderbilt is expanding its capabilities with solutions that are open and scalable to allow users the freedom to use existing investments and third-party devices as part of a best-in-class security solution. Open systems benefit the entire security marketplace and Vanderbilt is dedicated to promoting open solutions that allow stakeholders to expand systems as security needs evolve over time. Our partnership with Mercury is a significant step forward in meeting this goal.”
