IPVM conducted an end user interview with the company and asked about operations, issues, and technology.

Inside this Q&A we look at the following topics:

  • Why he says he brings value as the company's own In-house integrator
  • Which end-to-end video surveillance manufacturer they use
  • Why they have been using the same access control manufacturer for more than 30 years
  • What free analytics do they have access to and how are they using them?
  • Why he says vendor partnerships are like a marriage
  • Why the convergence of physical and logical security is inevitable—and good
  • How their Flagship Command Center can function as a hub for everything
  • Which way are they leaning in the migration from magstripe: Prox or iClass?

Great interview and some interesting information. It highlights the financial difficulties in going to the latest (or less outdated) technology when you have a large infrastructure in place. In my opinion, there is never enough attention or funding given to ever-greening security systems. As a result, there are occasional huge capital projects as opposed to a yearly line item. 

Also hospital security is tough! Perhaps the biggest day to day issue in my area are assaults on staff by patients, often in patient rooms were video would be intrusive. I think that much more attention needs to be focused on room and facility design that offers solutions for health care providers in the first 1 to 15 seconds of an assault .... the amount of time that they will have to survive before any hope of effective assistance will arrive.

Very interesting interview and one I can relate to.  There are many challenges in the healthcare world due to the uniqueness of the environment and the "satellites" that are part of that very same system (i.e., clinics, specialty hospitals, etc). 

I really enjoyed reading this and getting another "view".  Thanks!

I'm very pleased to see the in housing of integration for Health Care Industry. While working as a field specialist for big name integrators, most of my interactions with Health Care IT folks have been adversarial in the beginning only to have few of them ending up congenial. I suspect IT folks in that industry are under high stress due to HIPA and patient issues.

I wonder if this trend could evolve into a disruptive challenge for integrators. In my opinion, entities can yield significant savings and increased quality control if properly implemented.

It's a shame that interactions with IT could be adversarial.  At previous jobs where I was part of IT, I would often hear others comment on the "Network Nazis" or the "No-Help Desk".  Once I became part of a "shadow" IT group where I worked with IT to implement technology for Physical Security, I became a hero.

My hope would not be that in-house integrators would replace field integrators but that integrators would establish a more secure contractual relationship with their clients and provide continuing services that benefit the company in the same way my team has benefited the system we work for.  You are right - it yields tremendous quality control and provides great sustainability.
