As security technologies become more robust, and as more and more security and non-security devices are being connected to networks, managing all that “stuff” can be quite a burden. It’s no wonder, then, that the market for physical security information management (PSIM) solutions — which are designed to simplify the process — is growing.
PSIM software provides a single, unified platform that communicates with a number of systems, including video, access control, intrusion, analytics and other security and non-security systems, to gather the data it needs to perform six main tasks: collection, analysis, verification, resolution, reporting and auditing. The centralization and simplification of these tasks for security staff is what makes PSIM solutions most attractive.
