After the events of 911, the US Government, local and state officials began the task of reviewing the security requirements for all municipal facilities. Many security managers realized that access control and intrusion detection was just not enough to cover all possibilities presented by people intent on committing acts against or within a facility.

The result was defined as a need for modular expansion, flexibility and seamless integration with other security operations. LenSec's video security experts have now provided the inter-operability solutions needed to allow access control systems, building management systems and video surveillance systems to exist on a single platform. This breakthrough provides the modularity and flexibility needed to meet the ever increasing demands of public facility protection.

The integration of video surveillance systems into the total security plan provides facility administrators with the ability to properly respond to any situation, improving their chances of handling those situations effectively. From monitoring the activities of visitors and contractors to the investigation of alarms, LenSec's video management systems provide frame-by frame search, retrieval, copy, and exporting of files for investigation and evidence.

Typical camera placement includes:

•  Entrances and exits
•  Lobbies and Waiting rooms
•  Storerooms
•  Warehouse Operations
•  Parking lots and pick-up areas
•  Perimeter access
•  Cafeterias and common areas
•  Recreation areas
•  Shipping Rooms
•  Loading docks

Maintaining video surveillance over public-access areas is an obvious choice to enhance the value of access control and intrusion detection systems. Flexible and scalable to individual client needs, all LenSec systems provide round-the-clock surveillance from remote locations allowing security managers to collect valuable information using only a computer and Internet browser.

Many facilities now integrate wireless surveillance with access control, intrusion alarms for parking facilities, stairways, access ramps, elevators, and entrance and exit points to guard against theft and vandalism and maintain video records for investigative purposes.
