The threats against your facility aren’t the same ones you faced ten years ago, and your security system shouldn’t be the same, either. However, upgrading outdated systems in government facilities can be an incredibly complex task, and if it’s not done correctly, it could leave your facility even more vulnerable to security risks.
Fortunately, a system integrator can help. These expert security professionals combine all the components of a security system and make them work as a cohesive unit. The result is a comprehensive network protecting every aspect of your building from potential threats.
Learn more about system integrators, why you’ll want to work with one, and how they can help you modernize your outdated security system more effectively.
What Is a System Integrator?
A system integrator is a security specialist who designs, installs, and maintains complex security systems. They know how to integrate different technology types to work together and operate more efficiently. For example, a system integrator might combine access control, video surveillance, intrusion detection, alarm systems, and utility systems to work together seamlessly.
System integration can be a complex process, but a system integrator will understand how to create a cutting-edge security solution tailored to a facility’s needs and capable of protecting against a range of potential threats.
Why Government Buildings Need System Integrators
A system integrator’s experience can be invaluable, especially when upgrading outdated security systems in a government facility. Here’s why:
Security Expertise
Government facilities face more sophisticated security risks, so they require advanced technologies. System integrators are trained in the latest tech to ensure a facility has the right cutting-edge solutions to reduce risk. They stay up-to-date on components such as AI-powered video surveillance, biometric access control, and intelligent intrusion detection. This makes them well equipped to recommend and implement the best solutions for a facility’s needs.
System Customization
No two government facilities are the same. They have different security risks, infrastructure, layouts, and security measures already in place. A system integrator can assess the facility’s current security state, carefully consider every factor, and recommend the best equipment and methods to upgrade the system to provide the highest level of protection.
This personalized approach to security ensures that every component in your security strategy is customized to your facility’s specific needs and risks. You’ll have security solutions that offer the maximum protection and efficiency.
Regulation Compliance
Government buildings abide by specific security regulations and standards, which vary depending on the facility’s purpose and the sensitivity of its assets and data. System integrators specializing in government buildings are well versed in these regulations, making them skilled at ensuring upgraded security systems comply with all the relevant guidelines. Partnering with a system integrator can help avoid costly mistakes and compliance issues.
How a System Integrator Can Update Outdated Systems
Upgrading outdated security systems can be a huge task requiring a lot of specialized knowledge. System integrators can make the process easier by helping with:
- Planning. System integrators can evaluate your current system, identify outdated components, and recommend new solutions.
- Designing. System integrators can design security solutions to meet your requirements, including choosing the right tech and determining how all the components will work together.
- Implementation. With a plan and design, your system integrator can install and integrate the new equipment with your existing security infrastructure, configuring everything to work as one cohesive system.
- Testing. Once everything is installed, the integrator will test all the components to ensure they are working correctly and resolve any issues with the system before it goes live.
- Support. A system integrator’s job isn’t done once the system is up and running. They provide ongoing system support, including maintenance and training.
