Access control is not an area in which central
stations traditionally have been involved. But that’s changing now that more
end user organizations have wide area data connections capable of supporting IP
communications. Increasingly security dealers and systems integrators are
finding a new source of recurring monthly revenue by offering remote monthly
management of their access control accounts — either through their own central
station or by using a wholesale central station that offers access control
services.

 | Fire Alarm Systems: State of the Market
The slowdown in residential construction that
began in 2007 is expected by some to spread to commercial construction this
year. But innovative security dealers and systems integrators are shifting
their fire alarm business to other segments of the market or are already in
niches that are not as affected by any slowdowns.

 | Where Can We Put all This?
Megapixel cameras and high frame rates are
creating “mega-storage” needs for security system data. Although storage costs
are decreasing, end users’ expectations of the resolutions, frame rates and
time period of video and other data they can store are escalating to the extent
that the savings in storage are spent on additional capacity.
