Video and Card Access Integration

Powerful access control and video integration is the future of building security. Card Access Systems work to effectively restrict access to areas of your building, but provide limited information each time someone accesses each door.

This video provides a brief overview of the benefits of an Integrated Card Access and Video System.

Card access systems are highly effective, but they are not flawless either. It is possible for unauthorized individuals to obtain authorized individuals keyless entry devices through theft or misplacement. Upon adding integrated video to a card access system, additional information is available to confirm the presence of the individual who the keyless entry device belongs to.

It can also provide the visual information needed when an individual forces entry into door. In the rare occurrence that a person is able to gain access to a door that is monitored by a card access system, the system is able to capture video before and after the event.

Instead of having to search through hours of video footage to correlate the incident in your card access system to the video captured by cameras, the system would automatically show you the incident time frame on video.

Another strong argument for integrated card access and video systems is the simplicity of using one software set for both functions. Instead of training personnel on two separate pieces of software, it only requires knowledge of one.

More importantly with the constant staff turnover that most businesses or condominium boards experience, the whole system can be managed by Fahrenheit 451 and we will retrieve video footage and events when you need them. No need to continually train employees.
