Many organisations still rely heavily on CCTV as the main layer of security. Cameras are installed across entrances, perimeters, roads, checkpoints, and operational areas with the expectation that they will provide visibility when something happens.

The problem is that visibility alone does not solve many of the security and operational challenges facilities are facing today. Cameras can provide awareness, but surveillance systems on their own do not always give operators the coordination and response capability needed in larger environments.

In many facilities today, security teams are dealing with much larger operational environments, more movement of people and vehicles, and growing pressure to respond faster when incidents happen. At the same time, many systems still operate separately. Cameras, access control, alarms, analytics, communication systems, and monitoring platforms are often disconnected from one another.
