Integrated systems (especially access control, intrusion detection and closed circuit TV (CCTV)) can have a major impact on the daily functioning of an organisation - knowledge of the security industry and the right approach are pre-requisites for ensuring maximum benefit can be gained from a integrated security system installation.
The key part of nearly all the large projects we have been involved in has been the Command Control and Communications Centre. If the heart of any system or network is not designed to operate at maximum efficiency all the implementational expense can be a waste of time. Where the operations need human involvement like in emergency services control rooms; detail for tasks, responses, equipment and environment become crucial. Command control and communication is the essential factor in bringing together order out of chaos.
Before signing the new or next maintenance contract, get the experts in with experience on both sides of the fence. There are lots of examples of the major players in the security industry quoting annual maintenance and service charges at many times what they need to be. If we feel the charges proposed are excessive, we will be happy to negotiate or seek on your behalf fair and reasonable rates.
