Recommendations For Integrated Video / Access / Intrusion

NLSS specializes in an all-in-one-box that does this. Have you considered them?

Not sure if you have access to the product in your market but there is an excellent integrated access control & intruder alarm platform manufactured in Australia by Inner Range called Integtri (www.innerrange.com). It supports high level interfaces to many CCTV platforms, is highly flexible and affordable. Australia has been a world leader in developing integrated access control & intruder alarm platforms starting with the Tecom Challenger system developed over 15 years ago. The Gallagher Security Platform developed out of New Zealand is also an excellent choice. I believe this is gaining ground in the US.

I'm biased because we distribute the line but you definitely should look at ICT.

I've been doing access/alarm and video since 1986 and I have not seen anything at this level of integration.

Access, intrusion and building automation are on-board (so a single platform for all 3) and it integrates with 10 different IP video platforms, with more coming (including Exacq, Milestone, OnSSI, Pelco Endura, HIK, Avigilon, Geutebruck, Mobotix, DVTel). It is available across Europe- there is a distributor in Estonia, not too far from Scandinavia.

As I said, this is a biased opinion but it is definitely worth a look.

Fredrik,

It's quite the opposite, IP is native (and on-board) and not an option for all software-to-controller communications. They have IP controllers (PCB version and new DIN-rail version) IP door expanders, an IP touchscreen keypad as well as a new web-based IP controller. RS-485 is only available for controller-to-module communications.

In Vegas last April, ICT showed their new 1-door IP controller (POE and DC-powered) with alarm on-board and their 2-door IP controller with dual IP ports (and POE).

RS-485 is always also available even on the IP-enabled hardware (to connect LCD keypads and zone expanders for the alarm portion). IP products are great but there is always an added cost for the network connectivity. If a zone expander is 1 metre away from the panel, it makes no sense to be forced to use a more expensive IP-enabled module. It's good to have the flexibility to choose IP or RS-485 depending on the site configuration or the budget

The catalog shows most of these products (except for the hardware that was shown in Vegas and is not yet officially released): http://www.incontrol.co.nz/media/catalog/ICT-Product-Catalog-2012.pdf

Hello, Fredrik:

It might be useful to look at S2 Security. The Pronto VR series combines Access/Video/Intrusion into a web interface. Pricing is roughly in line with Genetec, and has a clean integration with DMP panels.

If your looking for an all in one solution you can looks at the Kantech intevo. It is running a oem of exacq, usining kantech access control and integrates with all DSC panels.
