Separate companies reflecting the security video and access control arenas are working together more. It’s a good sign for security leaders seeking fewer sources to deal with and fewer integration headaches.

A case in point: 3VR Security, Inc., the searchable surveillance platform, will talk about its integration with Schlage’s bright blue intelligent access management software at ISC. The solution allows users of bright blue’s Web-based access control system to search and manage video in a new, simple video interface using 3VR’s searchable surveillance technology.

“This integration is the perfect example of how small- and medium-sized businesses can maintain a sophisticated security environment without the intense work generally associated with gathering information from separate systems, said Mitchell Kane, director of software & controllers at Schlage. “bright blue gives users the freedom to access their system from anywhere, at any time, and with 3VR they are now able to view, search and analyze associated video, making it an even more powerful access control/CCTV solution.”

Launched in February 2009, bright blue is the first embedded network appliance to give small business owners the ability to access and manage points of entry from the Web. Supporting up to 32 doors and 5,000 cardholders, the system offers an intuitive user interface, simple implementation and compatibility with Schlage Card Readers, VIP & Wireless locks and most common third-party card readers.
