A security integrator can help a healthcare campus make the most of its video, access control, intrusion, fire, emergency notification, HVAC, lighting, elevator, smoke detection and panic alarm systems, according to an article on the Campus Safety website.
These systems often are installed at different times, by different people, so the systems don’t communicate with each other.
Systems that involve the same family of technology such as video surveillance still may not be integrated.
This lack of interoperability can leave the hospital security operations center with a lot of data from many different sources with no cohesive way of viewing it and making sense of it all, the article said.
