The Challenge

Data is the lifeblood of any security and surveillance operation.  A wide array of devices, including video cameras, sensors, radars, projection/display systems, and video recording systems are used to collect and communicate data.  In today’s increasingly complex security infrastructures, these disparate devices must be fully integrated and able to be centrally managed to ensure effective delivery of data.  That’s where Simtrol comes in.   

The Solution

Simtrol’s robust Device Management Platform enables disparate devices to be brought together into an integrated solution.  Individual devices or collections of devices within a security network can be controlled and monitored from a single point to ensure data is being properly captured and analyzed 24/7/365.

Simtrol's Device Management Platform can report on the health, status, and use of devices; schedule devices for routine maintenance; and, most importantly, proactively alert designated contacts when a device unexpectedly becomes non-operational.

The Benefits

The ability to remotely control, monitor, diagnose, and troubleshoot surveillance devices can mean the difference between providing a real-time alert the moment a security event happens and not even being aware that a breach occurred. Simtrol’s leading edge Device Management Platform guarantees cameras, sensors, and other key security devices remain operational to provide 100 percent coverage to your end-users - all while improving the return on technology investments by delivering the following benefits:

• Decrease energy consumption and associated power costs by intelligently scheduling devices
• Extend asset life through proactive maintenance and optimized device settings
• Increase device uptime and utilization with proactive alerting and remote diagnostics and troubleshooting
• Reduce operating costs by enabling centralized management of assets and simplifying technology support requirements
