So what does IP mean for you? 

Your security system will be more controllable, flexible and futureproof. Some of the many benefits of networkable systems are shown below.

·         Substantially reduced installation costs

·         Control and monitoring of the system anywhere on the network, not just at a single location

·         Flexibility, additional equipment can easily be added or existing equipment re-located

·         Unlimited expandability 

What is IP? 

Almost all businesses and organisations irrespective of their size and number of employees, have an IP network infrastructure in place.

From a few computers in a building, to tens of thousands of computers in many buildings, often in different locations and indeed different countries, all linked together as a single system. Most people take it for granted that we can e-mail, store databases and send images as well as data from one location to another using the network infrastructure. 

Why then design and install another separate, expensive infrastructure, for your security system? Admittedly there was a time not so long ago when this was the only option available. Advances in technology have made it possible to monitor and control your facility security system on the existing LAN/WAN. Access Control, Video Surveillance, Intruder Alarms, Building Management Systems can all be networked- providing you, the end user, with a fully integrated security solution. 

Even very large facilities no longer have any constraints on where security equipment can be installed. Wireless networks can be designed, installed and integrated to the traditional cabled network, providing the ultimate in operability. Should the need arise, video and data from around the site can be viewed on laptops or even PDA's.

Facilities such as:

- Oil refineries

- Sea ports

- Industrial estates

- City centers..

...can all benefit by installing cost effective wireless solutions.
