By integrating all security assets such as intrusion detection, access control, video and telephone entry into one common platform, users can interface with just one system, for greater simplicity and optimum control. The integration kits connect a DSC intrusion alarm panel to a Kantech access control system to create a single unified solution. Integration with DSC PowerSeries or MAXSYS intrusion alarm panels allows the access control system to receive intrusion events, view zone status and to manage partitions/user codes.
