A 23rd integration module has been released by the IP security product company IndigoVision. It enables data from S2 access control systems to be managed within IndigoVision’s IP Video Security Solution.
John Semple, IndigoVision’s Head of Product Management, said: “There is a growing trend among video security manufacturers to acquire access control companies. Having a single manufacturer for both access control and video security may sound ideal, but there are major issues with that approach. The principal issue is that of limited choice. Different access control companies have strengths in different market verticals or geographies, due to specific product features or support infrastructure.”
The firm says that the S2 Integration Module was developed as a result of government, retail and transport projects.
Semple added: “Another issue with a single manufacturer providing both access control and video is limited scalability. When multiple sites need to be connected in a single security system, those sites often have existing access control systems installed. IndigoVision’s open strategy means existing access control systems, from multiple manufacturers, can be seamlessly integrated into video. IndigoVision now has 23 Integration Modules, covering leading access control systems, including; Lenel, Gallagher, Honeywell and Software House, giving better system scalability. By giving both better system scalability and greater freedom of choice, IndigoVision’s open approach and strategy for security systems integration clearly delivers exceptional future proofing of security installations.”
