Key Features of a Security System

The essential features outlined in the following recommendations are crucial factors when selecting a new system.

  • Intrusion Detection: detects and alerts responsible parties about potential security breaches or threats. Compatible detection devices include motion detectors, door/window contacts, or glass break detectors to detect unauthorised entry into protected areas.

  • Fire & Smoke Detection: security systems often integrate fire and smoke detectors to detect the presence of fire or smoke within a facility. When smoke or heat is detected, an alarm is activated to notify occupants and initiate emergency protocols.

  • Panic & Duress Alarms: these are designed to be activated discreetly in emergencies where individuals feel threatened or distressed. Panic buttons or special codes can trigger these alarms, alerting security personnel or authorities to the situation.

  • Partitioning: A security system’s partitioning function divides the system into separate sections, enabling independent management and custom security settings for different areas or user groups. This feature allows for specific codes to control access to each partition, ensuring only authorized users can manage the security settings for their respective areas.

  • Integrated Access Control: it enables seamless control and management of access to secure areas within a facility.

  • Management Software offers advanced integration with other systems, including CCTV, fire systems, lifts, lighting control, and third-party access control systems. It also supports automation.

  • Web Client: A web client lets users access the system from anywhere using a web browser. This means they do not need extra software.

  • Reporting: The system software should create standard reports. These include Users Arming & Disarming, Users Time-on-Site, and Muster Reports. Muster Reports indicate which users are present in any section at the time of the report.

    Entrance and Exit readers are utilised to create this report. User Access History and many more. For the technically minded, these sample reports can be used as templates to customise and generate other reports according to the customer’s needs.

  • Enterprise Mobility: an iOS or Android app to control the system, including arming and disarming, remote control of doors, inputs, auxiliaries, viewing system event logs, and more.

  • Scalability: the system should be deployable across multiple sites and locations. This distributed architecture promotes scalability by allowing the system to expand effortlessly across different areas or buildings while retaining centralised control.

  • Communications: 4G/5G, LAN, TCP/IP (Ethernet), email, SMS, fiber optic and Wi-Fi.

    • What are the Advanced Features of a Security System that I should consider?

    • Active Directory Integration: Azure Active Directory is already used as the main user management database, integrating many other business systems (Email, Payroll, Scheduling, etc.). Integrity can also leverage this centralised source of user data, delivering great cost-efficiencies to the organisation by negating the need for additional user data entry. Integriti operator training time is also significantly reduced.

    • Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR): helps manage parking efficiently. It allows you to search for a vehicle using its license plate. It also keeps unwanted vehicles out of a car park.

    • BMS: Inner Range Integriti can directly control many third-party systems like elevators, heating, cooling, and lights. It can also communicate with Building Management Systems. This allows it to be a key part of any smart building solution.

    • Biometrics: Biometric Access Control technology provides an increased level of security for building access control systems when compared to traditional card & card reader technologies. Integriti’s integrated platform facilitates a streamlined on-boarding process when integrated with third-party Biometric Access Control modules. The synchronization of users ultimately simplifies the on-boarding process, increasing System Operator’s overall efficiency.

    • Intercoms: Security & Access Control systems are often installed in conjunction with Intercom systems; as such, it’s of paramount importance that these systems are able to operate together.

    • Lockers: Utilising a synchronised user database, Integriti’s integrated platform facilitates seamless user management for Locker systems. User information can be solely managed from Integriti, meaning that System Operators do not need to maintain two separate databases. Additionally, Integriti’s powerful reporting tools can be utilised to develop reports specifically related to Locker events, giving system owners full awareness of which users have accessed which lockers and when.

    • Wireless Access Control: By integrating a Wireless Access Control system with Integriti, system operators do not need to manage multiple user databases. Synchronisation of users and access permissions allows Integriti to be the single interface for managing Wireless Access Control doors – mitigating the requirement to manage multiple platforms.

    • SMS: Integriti’s powerful communications capabilities allow for SMS sending from within the Integriti Software. Messages can be sent to any user or group of users, and can be sent on demand or via a range of different variables (e.g. time schedules). SMS sending can be incredibly powerful in situations where it is critical to notify all users on-site of emergency situations such as a fire drill, lockdown, or active shooter.

    • RTLS: Real-Time Location Systems are commonly deployed in high security situations, and allow Security Operators to maintain accurate status and location of Security Personnel in real-time. The RTLS integration with Integriti allows for status updates and location monitoring via the same graphical interface as every other aspect of the Integriti system (including integrated CCTV, Intercoms, etc.). While increasing security and safety of staff, this integration improves situational awareness of Security Personnel in high security situations.

    Understanding the Total Cost of Ownership of a Physical Security System

    The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for a physical security system includes various cost elements beyond the initial purchase. Below is a breakdown of the key components that comprise the TCO.

    Capital Expenditure (CapEx)

    • Hardware Acquisition Costs: This includes access control panels, door controllers, keypads, readers, sensors, and auxiliary devices such as power supplies and backup units.

    • Software Licensing Costs: One-time or perpetual license fees for management software, which may vary depending on the number of access points, users, and specific software modules.

    • Installation Costs: Labor costs associated with installing system hardware, including:
      • Running cables for access control points, readers, and other peripherals.
