Every building possesses a distinct footprint and specific needs for an Integrated Security System. Hence, it’s crucial for Union Alarm to assess the electronic access control and security integration tailored to your building. This evaluation is a pivotal stage in choosing the right integrated security platform. Here are some key considerations:
- Simple access control solely manages the authorization of individuals entering and exiting via exterior doors.
- An integrated security system extends its functionality to include the management of a commercial alarm system and video surveillance.
- This serves to safeguard designated areas by implementing multiple layers of protection when the alarm system is activated.
Through security integration, a comprehensive survey conducted by professionals will aid in comprehending the unique requirements of your building. In such instances, partnering with a company well-versed in integrated security is paramount, and Union Alarm in Calgary fits that directive. Here are some of the crucial questions we’ll pose:
Upon obtaining responses to these inquiries, Union Alarm will draft a thorough proposal for your evaluation. Integrated platforms typically encompass entrance control solutions, intrusion detection, fire alarm monitoring, and the integration of your video surveillance system.
Commercial Security Integration – What is it?
Integrated Security Systems – Q&A
What is an Integrated Alarm System?
In numerous instances, buildings necessitate more than mere electronic access control; they often demand alarm protection for storage lockers, emergency exit doors, mechanical areas, or integration of a ULC fire alarm system to monitor the building’s fire alarm system.
Through the installation of an integrated solution with intrusion features, we fortify specific areas by implementing an additional layer of alarm protection. This collective approach enhances your security during designated hours by activating the area and entrusting its control to the access control system.
Do small businesses benefit from integrated security?
Absolutely! Numerous small businesses and offices in Calgary stand to gain from implementing an integrated security system. Initially, we ensure the protection of your premises and conduct surveillance during designated hours. Subsequently, we implement card readers and electronic locks to secure doors and control access to specific areas using electronic key cards.
By combining these functionalities with an electronic keypad, we enable automatic arming and disarming of the system. Alternatively, users can utilize key fobs to open doors and deactivate protected zones. This eliminates the need for keys and eliminates uncertainty about who has accessed the building and when.
Lastly, we integrate video surveillance to document each event and offer recorded footage from IP cameras.
What is security automation?
Security automation involves integrating the access control and alarm systems with building management systems and automation software. For landlords and building operators in Calgary, this offers a comprehensive security solution at their fingertips.
This integration streamlines platforms and enables enhanced building control through integrated security systems and software. Additionally, our electronic access systems can be integrated to manage building elevators, parking lot entrances, perimeter entrance doors, and stairwells.
