Our Partnership with Alarm.com: The Power of Integrated Video | ASI
At Anderson Security Integration, our philosophy is that the best security solution is a fully integrated one. The platform we trust to be the intelligent hub for these systems is Alarm.com. While they are the engine, we are the expert designers and integrators who use their powerful technology to build custom solutions for businesses, churches, and storage facilities across Indiana.
This post is the first in a series exploring our key video partners, and it's only fitting we start with the platform that best represents our "integration first" approach.
More Than Just Recording: Proactive Security
A traditional camera system records evidence for you to review after a break-in. An Alarm.com system, designed and installed by ASI, works to prevent the break-in from happening at all.
Using Alarm.com's advanced video analytics, we can create virtual tripwires and protected zones around your property. When the system detects a person or vehicle loitering in a restricted area after hours, it can trigger proactive deterrents. This allows our 24/7 monitoring station, Dynamark, to use integrated speakers to verbally warn off a trespasser, turning your camera system from a passive observer into an active guard.
Smarter Insights with Video Analytics
An integrated video system can do more than just improve your security; it can help you run a smarter business. Alarm.com's Business Activity Analytics can analyze your video feeds to provide valuable, searchable data.
We can help you configure the system to:
-
Track customer traffic patterns to optimize staffing and layout.
-
Generate reports on peak busy times.
-
Create alerts for when crowds form or when sensitive areas, like a server room or cash office, are accessed.
This turns your video data into actionable business intelligence, helping you make more informed operational decisions.
A Truly Unified Platform
The core strength of the Alarm.com platform is its ability to unify all your security systems into a single, intuitive app. This is where ASI's expertise as an integrator is crucial. We don't just install cameras; we connect them to your:
Access Control
Get a video clip automatically bookmarked every time a specific door is opened.
Intrusion Alarm
Provide our monitoring station with video verification of a real alarm, ensuring a high-priority police dispatch.
Smart Sensors
Receive a video alert if a temperature sensor in a server room detects a problem.
Conclusion: The Technology is Only as Good as the Integrator
Alarm.com provides a world-class technology platform. Our role at Anderson Security Integration is to leverage that technology to its fullest potential, designing a custom, reliable, and seamless system that meets the unique security and operational needs of your facility.
