IP-based security solutions facilitate greater levels of integration, adoption of leading-edge technologies – particularly in relation to CCTV cameras and access control systems – simple scalability to accommodate growth, remote recording/management capabilities, and ultimately cost-efficiencies.

But the converging worlds of electronic security and IT also present challenges and risks, such as cyber security. The complexity of the technologies involved, the intricacies of network infrastructure required and the need to facilitate full interoperability between products that ‘speak different’ languages requires care. Securematics IT & Security Solutions has the expertise and the certification required to undertake these types of projects. Integration of physical security onto IT networks also means teamwork – the ability to meet and understand the needs of multiple stakeholder groups.

Without specialist knowledge of both worlds and the ability to provide equal support, implementation can fail to yield the right results.

Our highly-skilled design and deployment engineers are trained and accredited by leading IT organisations such as Cisco and Pelco and have decades of security solutions experience under their belts, meaning they are ideally placed to advise on, design, and implement networked solutions – from fully IP systems to hybrid security solutions that allow gradual migration as budget permits.

We work with a range of leading command and control platform manufacturers, enabling us to select and deploy the best-fit solution for any given application. The IT and security experience held by our project teams ensures the platform specified is then seamlessly integrated with each individual element of an organisation’s complete security infrastructure, without any downtime or disruption.

Once in place, these solutions enable organisations to view, monitor, manage, and respond to the wealth of information at their fingertips, giving them complete situational awareness across single or multiple locations.

Securematics IT & Security Solutions technical and project management expertise in this area attained through decades of experience across all the sectors we serve, is particularly relevant for control room migration – for example upgrading analogue solutions to IP technology – and/or control room consolidation, unifying command, and control functionality from multiple sites into one central base.
