If you would love to upgrade or expand your security technology but are struggling to get the funding, I’d like to suggest a few strategies that could get your project the greenlight.

With estimates hovering around the $1 trillion mark for security products and services spending in the next five years, according to Cybersecurity Ventures’ Cybersecurity Market Report, it’s no wonder security executives are on the lookout for best practices for global integration. The best approach is for security systems integrators to invest in and embed with their global customers to provide consistency and serve as their single point of contact for all their systems integration needs.

As more IoT devices (sensors) are introduced, new services emerge that integrate them. Clients will see new approaches to optimizing their people, processes and technology architecture.

Both of the new MegaDome G3 and G3 RS (remote setup) dome camera series from Arecont Vision offer H.264 compression in an all-in-one camera, lens and housing solution.

Since its establishment in 2001, video surveillance manufacturer Hikvision has grown rapidly to have the largest global market share for its segment. However, the company’s space in the industry spotlight has not come without challenges, including being vulnerable to the Mirai malware attack in March 2017 and skepticism from end users and other vendors about the Chinese video surveillance company.

Security magazine recently set some of these questions to Hikvision USA’s President, Jeffrey He, who responded to some recent allegations and end users’ concerns. 

Blending legacy physical security devices and software with newer products and services often is at the heart of any retrofit project – whether you are a retail business in search of higher resolution camera technology for more accurate images, or you’re the head of a multi-location organization that wants to take advantage of current access control card reader technology without installing completely new door controllers, card readers and wiring.

Complexity is not our friend. It is the enemy of execution. However, where there is complexity there is also opportunity for technology and service providers who understand the complexity, embrace it and reduce its impact on their client’s organization.

Bringing the promise of IoT to fruition requires expertise outside the scope of most security professionals.

Autonomous buildings are the true promise of IoT and take automation a step further by fully harnessing the capabilities of advanced connectivity.

The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is greatly expanding the ecosystem in which physical security lives, opening up exciting new integration possibilities and business opportunities within the enterprise market.
