Many older generation IP-based security products are being “left behind” for reasons that can be easily corrected, according to an article on the Campus Security website.
Healthcare campuses often discover — typically, after an incident — that devices such as cameras or alarm systems may have been disconnected from the network and have not been functioning as intended, the article said
These service interruptions are often the result of miscommunication between IT and security personnel, whether it’s for scheduled network upgrades or updating user-access privileges.
In the majority of cases, a routine switch upgrade or software upgrade has taken place within the network and the IP-based security device did not come back online after the IT work was completed.
