In the Commercial/Industrial sector, companies' needs go beyond the basic physical security system. Due to the variety and complexity of most commercial/industrial companies, the security system can go from simple to very complex.
Most of these companies combine Access Control, Video surveillance, and Intrusion systems to have a complete solution for protecting their people and their assets. Fire protection is also a required part of the security and safety system found in Commercial/Industrial companies. There is a greater need for an evacuation plan in case of accidents, fire, spills, etc.
Commercial/Industrial includes but is not limited to: Manufacturing, construction, commercial buildings, chemical plants and public utilities to name a few.
There are some challenges with this sector as most companies have to meet certain Commercial/Industrial standards. The security and safety systems have to be reliable with an uptime close to 100%. This requirement is met by our high availability and disaster recovery components. In addition, companies have to have a very specific and well defined process of evacuations and accounting of their personnel.
Other challenges are outdoor installations and extremely hot and/or cold temperatures. This requires system components that function across wide ranges of temperature, humidity and exposure to foreign matter such as dust, grease, etc.
No matter how diverse your business is, all of these issues and more can be addressed using integrated solutions from Tyco Security Products.
Integrated Access Control, Video Surveillance, Intrusion and Fire
An integrated Access control, Video surveillance, Intrusion and Fire protection system provides a complete solution for the commercial/industrial business. Tyco's solutions are well positioned for this market sector with their ability to integrate all of the required components.
Another advantage offered by Tyco's Access control and Video systems is an open SDK (Software Development Kit) for partners or end users' special or custom integrations.
Tyco's access control systems provide a very rich feature set such as alarm management with customer operator messages, antipassback, mustering, intrusion zones, area lockout, clearance filter, logical/physical convergence, high level of clearances and privileges to control who has access to what and when. Most companies in this sector are starting to adopt US government standards as their own such as smart card technologies, PIV, FIPS, etc.
Tyco Security Products' unique features make the solutions ideal for this sector:
Allows the system to prevent anyone who may have been contaminated in one area to enter another area and thus contaminate it. This can translate into a huge expense and lost time. This simple feature can save time and money and warrant the investment in a Tyco integrated security system.
Is a feature which can be used in a case where an area needs to be locked out to ALL personnel except those that are qualified. This can be done by changing the clearance level of the readers associated with the area and not having to change clearances to individual cardholders. This is a very efficient way for a security administrator to change who has access to an area without touching the cardholders' database.
The reader can operate in either a connected (wired or wireless) or disconnected operation (using local database) for transportation, classroom or training attendance, mustering, etc.
Using Tyco solutions and some video analytics from our partners, some companies have created logical fences; monitor directional traffic flow (wrong way), speed and size of objects, and objects left behind can all trigger alarms and/or events to signal trouble to the system and to the operators.With an integrated solution from Tyco Security Products we can provide a proven application for your unique business requirements.
