Efficiency and Cost Savings: The Tangible Benefits of Connectivity
Efficiency and Cost Savings: The Tangible Benefits of Connectivity
As we emphasized in our previous two blogs, seamless communication between all the various systems and components of a comprehensive security solution provides some very significant benefits to end users. Interconnectedness between fire alarms, emergency lighting, security cameras, access control, voice communication and emergency communication systems not only facilitates a fast emergency response, it also leads to increased operational efficiency, reduced maintenance costs, and streamlined management of safety protocols. There are many economic and efficiency benefits that connectivity offers. Here we look at how interconnected systems provide a significant return on investment for businesses and property owners.
An interconnected security system can be controlled through one centralized system to allow all the separate components to communicate with each other directly and share information. It also enables an entire premise to be remotely monitored and controlled.
And when it comes to improved efficiency, an interconnected security system delivers more streamlined management. Monitoring multiple, disparate security systems such as access, video surveillance, intrusion detection, etc. is a time-zapper. And lost time can result in a compromise in security. An interconnected system, on the other hand, is managed from one central user interface, anywhere, anytime. This also reduces the number of personnel that need to access the security system, thereby lowering the costs of staffing and training and the possibility of human error. The end user and senior security staff will be able to monitor the entire security system 24/7. And because fewer staff are needed to monitor an interconnected system, personnel that would otherwise be monitoring disparate systems can focus on other enterprise-related duties to further the organization.
End users across so many industry sectors rely on their security systems to protect their businesses, people, and property. But every industry faces different security challenges and pain points. The interconnected security systems that we at Integrated Electronics deploy are designed to meet the specific needs of every client. We consider the security vulnerabilities each client faces, as well as the size and layouts of their location(s), and hours of operation when premises are manned and unmanned.
End users can enjoy the cost savings that an interconnected system affords. It requires less personnel to oversee and is more affordable to maintain. Even more importantly, an interconnected security system guarantees that the solutions you already have in place will be compatible with newer, even more innovative smart technologies and functionalities. Among them, updates and reporting tools that enable you to share and analyze data and identify key trends and insights from each site so you can adjust settings to meet any new security challenges that arise. Simply stated, an interconnected security system empowers users to better control and monitor their sites and better protect them; have the assurance of easy scalability into the future, and access to data that can improve their efficiencies and streamline operations.
