As many industries adopt IoT solutions for increased security, reduced costs and new opportunities, the buildings industry is looking to do the same by incorporating IoT and mobile functionality into a range of facilities, including around building security systems. For a growing number of today’s security executives, understanding how to use new IoT-connected tools is now an important part of your job.
By properly understanding how to use these powerful tools, you can become far more efficient and effective than ever before. One of the most powerful examples of this is the use of remote monitoring tools – through remote monitoring, you can access all of your building’s security systems including video monitoring, intrusion detection and visitor management through mobile devices. Moving beyond the control room, security teams can stay visible throughout the entire facility while also monitoring real time information through devices connected to the cloud-enabled services. Security staff can make clearer decisions and provide faster responses by accessing this information at any time, from any place. And as security management tools continue to develop, you and your integrators need to be aware of how changing building security management, and how this affects your future.
